...was going to write a complain-y blog but have decided instead to just state for the general record that I am:
Thankful.
Warm.
Well-fed.
Mostly well-rested.
Hot showered.
Happy.
Surrounded by Love.
Mother of two of the sweetest girls with the cutest dresses ever.
Wife to a man who loves me and works hard for everything we have.
Daughter of the King.
Sinner saved by grace.
That is all.

Isn't it nice when we rethink the complain-y type posts, and really think, before we even start typing or hit "publish"? ~ I've done that many times... written a post complaining about something, or someone, then have thought about how truly blessed I really am for the things that I have, and it's changed my outlook. I like to complain about these things ~ money is tight, my marriage isn't always happily wonderful, my kid is going through the terrible twos (for over 6 months now) I don't have as much money as I'd like, and we have medical bills out the wazoo, BUT when I stop and think about it, we really are TRULY blessed. When I think about how much others DON'T have, and how much I DO.... I really can't complain. God has blessed me in amazing, wonderful ways, and I am really greatful for all He has given to me. Things could be so much worse, and there is NO WAY I should utter an ounce of complain about my life, ever.
Great attitude--and I'm glad for the change of topic.
"This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it."
I forget that so, so often.
Thanks for this reminder TODAY to be grateful!!
You don't have to post my next comment... but I couldn't resist.

Hot showered?
Seriously? You have other options. Sure, a hot shower is niiiice, but you could just take a warmish shower. Or a cold shower extra fast. You could do a cool shower and keep your robe on. It's not like you don't have options.
;)
It does get easy to forget how good we really do have it sometimes...
Thanks for the gentle reminder!
