I am so Grateful.....

Hello to everyone in blogspot world & to everyone who receives my blog via email.... I can't believe that I am still awake. It is 1:20 am right now & I am wide awake. Well I haven't been able to sleep to well lately. Everyone who has ever been pregnant know what I am talking about, being expecting & coming to the end  has it's challenges. I just wanted to express how grateful I am for my family & friends..... The love & support that my husband gives me is amazing & I couldn't have prayed for a better companion to walk through life with. Oh my two girls what a blessing they are to me I can't put into words the depth of love & joy that they give to me. I am a blessed woman! Don't get me wrong life is not all peaches & cream you will have test & trials. Sometimes life can be down right hard..... I have learned that through all you have to have a perspective of your outcome. I have learned to be content & trust the Lord with life's uncertainties. Do I do that all the time? Well no & that is honest but I try..... to be transparent sometimes I feel like there is no way out & how can the situations or circumstances change. Like I have said in previous post we must refocus & have a perspective of our outcome -this to shall pass. I have also learned that there is something to be said about test, it shows you what you are truly made of. To everyone reading YOU are stronger than you think, believe it! Well to my family they make me smile & I am blessed beyond words to have them in my life as well as the friends that God has placed in my life & you know who you are. Thank you for not judging me, for being honest, for the laughs, etc... I am grateful & no matter the circumstance I remain optimistic about life. I refuse to let anyone take my joy please readers do the same don't let anyone rob you of your joy & peace. I read a while ago that the world & people can't take something away from you that they didn't give to you. Also that people will always be people just remember to be consistent & true to who you are  & keep your peace & joy! I really like those two statements... Well I am getting tired & maybe I can get some shut eye before I wake up again to go to the bathroom & then be wide awake for a couple of hours hahaha.... It is all good it is to be expected. Thank you to my husband for putting up with me being pregnant & I know I can be all over the place at times. To my girls we had such a wonderful time today coloring, playing games, & singing... Girls your smiles alone make my heart leap for joy. To everyone who is reading remember there is nothing that is to big for you to handle & you will get through anything that you may be facing... Until next time God Bless You All  =)

Spending time with my MOM

Just wanted to write about the time the girls & I had with my mom today. We had such a wonderful time together, I am feel so blessed. We didn't do anything extraordinary... but we met at a park & ride & then went to the store & then had lunch. The girls had so much fun being with their Grandma & their mom. You know when we were younger many of us took so much for granted & it didn't occur to us that our loved ones have our best interest at heart. I think back & think what a rebellious teen I was & how I didn't want to spend time with my mother at all.... Or how about this "she doesn't understand me and she never will" LOL.... Well that was never true it is just a phase that so many teens go through in thinking parents don't know a thing & they were never the same age. My mother is such a pleasure to be around & she gets me more than anyone that I know. It never fails that we share laugh after laugh together.... I honor her everyday & I can't tell you how grateful I am to have her in my life. I have many friends who have lost their mother or father & the way they have said if only I had one more minute with them. I am not going to have any regrets about the time that my mother & I spent, of course there will be the longing to spend more time with her. What I am saying is like something my Aunt Marguerite lived by is cherishing every moment & leaving nothing unsaid or undone. My day was wonderful with my beautiful , strong, hilarious, loving, & a woman of God mother. I love you mom!
