The little things

There is a lot happening in my family this year and it is only February. A lot of it is not good and it has been hard to keep smiling. The only thing that is keeping me going is the little things like when I get to hug and kiss my kids good night, standing on the top of a ski hill and looking at the beautiful snow covered mountains, dancing, learning to make a new craft, telling my family that I love them, finishing a book and watching a good movie with your sisters and mom, laughing at all the funny things my dad does, having a good husband, having good friends to laugh with, going to aggie games and out to lunch with Parker, watching my kids grow and become good at the things they love, spending the day shopping with Haylie, listening to Tyler about how his day went at school. These little things is what will help me not to feel sorry for myself but to by greatful for the wonderful things that I do have.

Oh Natalie, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. But you're right about being grateful for all the everyday blessings and it helps to list them like you just did. Know that you are loved and someone I really admire!

I know how hard it is to keep smiling sometimes and I was telling my sister that I have become a bipolar mess :) Her recommendation is lots of B12 vitamins!!!! ha ha She says they are as good as an anti-depressant without the side effects! ha ha Hang in there, you are amazing.
