Oh SO blessed...

with SO many blessings....and as blessed as I feel some days, I find that some days are easier than others to "spot" the blessings. Some days can be a sad day, some can be an EXTREMELY happy day and some days could even be an upset kind of day.....so some days....can be easier, so to speak, for me to remember or point out the blessings with the hours as they pass.

For example, today was overall a WONDERFUL day, but one little piece...one short moment....one small look....can alter SO much and make it just a little bit difficult to "spot" those blessings....in that moment, for a blink of an eye....you might find yourself forgetting what you're blessed with. So as I write my 100 blessings, know that some days it comes easier than others b/c I am just like you.....and we're all human.....and some days have a moment of distress.....and some days may feel like an ABSOLUTE train wreck. But I assure you....if even for just a moment, if you take just a small sliver of time to make a promise....that you'll remind yourself of the good....that you can turn that day around and it all be worth WAY more than you thought it would be when it seemed so hopeless....or sad....or maddening.

So.....now I continue with my blessings, with my promise to list 100 blessings in 10 days....

82 - E&K came in quite sweetly to wake me up this morning.

83 - A&S were all cuddled up in their puppy beds when I went to wake them to take them out for their morning potty trip....I just love watching their little puppy bodies stretch as they wake up and look up at me all sweet waiting for me to pick them up.

84 - E&K got dressed & played well with each other before their Aunt C came over.

85 - E&K and Aunt C went to Gatti Town for an afternoon of fun.

86 - Mommy went to see her VERY first movie all by herself....oh no...what to do with such silence & no interruptions.....Ahhhh....so quiet & relaxing.

87 - I found myself missing E&K as I watched my "Mommy movie" this afternoon, it's nice missing your babies sometimes.

88 - E&K and Aunt C showed me a "surprise" when I picked them up...can't say what, we're all going to try & keep it a secret....SHHHHHH....don't tell anyone that our family STINKS at keeping secrets about "surprises."

89 - Had a WONDERFUL phone call with Mr. DG!

90 - Enjoyed watching E&K draw artwork.

91 - E&K are quite talented in the Art Dept, sure makes me proud.

92 - E&K made some SUPER AWESOME "books" today.

93 - No gym & no working out today...relished the moments of relaxation.

94 - Enjoyed some very productive communications today, with several people.

95 - Managed to eat a WHOLE sleeve of GS Thin Mint cookies....UH OH....somehow that really "felt" like a good thing....YEP...it was!

Alright...I'm nearly at 100 blessings and I'll have to go back and look to be sure....but I am pretty sure we are not at Day 10. So, it's looking more & more like I'll be going WAY over. Sounds to me like yet ANOTHER blessing! :)

Lots of Love,

Daughter

P.S. iHEART you Mom, btw.
