January 10, 2016....

    I have accomplished more today than I did all day yesterday.   I have cleaned my kitchen including sweeping and mopping the floors. I Put a pork roast in the crock pot for dinner.  The girl had toaster strudels for breakfast with a tall glass of chocolate milk.   I have also swept and mopped the entryway, and the bathroom upstairs. I took out the garbage and did a load of laundry.
     Still have some things I wanted to do today like change the bedding and wash the sheets. I also wanted to pull out my scrap book stuff and see if I couldn't get any more of the pages that are ready put into the books they belong in.   This whole limbo for 3 years of my life has left me so behind and scattered with my hobby.  I haven't even done anything with it for awhile.
    Guess break time is over and I will get back to my house chores.   Trying to get things done and what not so it's not so dirty when my love comes home on Friday.   He's at Arches right now.  Enjoying a little down time.   He sure deserves it.   All he does is work and sit home with me.   Love that man. I keep getting updated pictures that are beautiful.  I love that he thinks of me enough to send me the pics.  Most guys would either send them at the end of the day or they would just wait til they got home.
    I love my life right now.  We may still have some debt we need to get rid of and I may not make as much as I'd like but I've left that in Gods hands and I'm trying to work on being thankful and at peace with my life.  My biggest lesson with my love is remaining calm and not reacting to a situation until you have all the information.  You never know how things are going to turn out and most of the time there is nothing you can do anyway.
    I felt really good when I was looking each day for things to be grateful for.  I always found a lot of things I was grateful for and it made me want more, a lot less.
    If I took the time I would have: I'm grateful for my kids, (even the one that left me) my home especially, My car, My job (even though I would really like to find something equal in benefits but higher paying) and so so much, My love.  He is always taking care of me.  Whether he is out working, or home cleaning the house.   When I am sick he is right there, making sure I don't need anything. Getting me anything I do need and taking care of the house and the kids while I sleep.
He includes me in everything (another thing I am still trying to get used to).   He tells me he loves me all the time but even more he shows me. Everyday in a million ways. I'm grateful for my friends that stand by me always, the ones who are there now and then but always make me laugh, and the ones that taught me how easily a person can just be done. Not just on their behalf either.   In a few cases it appears it was pretty easy for myself as well.
    I am grateful for our parents who look out for us as best they can. For having food to feed everyone and the money to buy it.   Each day you can be thankful for a million things.   The more you find to be thankful for the happier you will be.
