Hearing about that plane crash in the middle of the ocean just makes me realize how good I have it at this moment. Earlier today I was very angry at my husband for various reasons and feeling quite sorry for myself. But insomnia has it's hold on me once again and as I sit and watch the news I'm reminded of the things that others are dealing with. Suddenly my problems shrink to the size they really are and I'm reminded of the things I do have. For instance, at this moment I'm able to hold my children close to me knowing that they are safe and well. I'm also sitting in a warm, dry home (I would say clean but hey, it's Tuesday, who am I kidding hee hee!!) that has running water and electricity. And even though I'm still pretty mad at my husband, well, at least he is here with me. At this moment I think I have it pretty good.

So true. And that is a priceless photo of your girls.
Life is good. I too, often think of the miracle of running HOT & COLD water and the flip of a switch bringing electricity in the form of light or television or music. We are definitely a blessed nation. Our problems or so small especially when we start counting our blessings.
i love the pic of your kids!!

This is a very insightful reflection. Thank you for reminding us that no matter how trivial our days may be, we should still be thankful for having our family close to us.
Running water, electricity, hot water, oh the joys of the US. Enjoy every minute and rejoice in this day!

Hi, I am dovie from OLS- I really like your blog. Kids are precious! I love dandelions myself, they are so tenacious and remind me that I too can get through anything life throws at me and thrive on top of it. Plus, they are like little balls of sunshine, and you can make tons of wishes. What more can you ask for? LOL
Great job, keep it up- I'll be back to explore more when I have a bit more time.
Just wanted to say that I miss your posts!! Are you okay?
