The Simple Things

It was actually nice to take somewhat of a little break today, after spending most of the night working on marketing materials for the HWMS 8th grade dance that I will be photographing next week. It's funny because I am sitting here trying to recall what I did today, but I can't remember. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with emotions today. Seems that when you think that you have it bad or you may lose sight of the hope you had been holding on to, someone or something happens to you to remind you that you really aren't alone.

Without going into too many details, I just have to say that some really wonderful things happened to me today. Everyone has their days where you just feel tired, run down, and almost exhausted with the happenings of the world. Much of which we have no control over. Well, I have felt that too. But today, some very wonderful people showed me that there still is GOOD to be given by others. The littlest gestures mean a lot. I have to say that today I feel blessed in so many ways. I have the privilege of doing what I absolutely love everyday with the support of my family. I have some great kids, that at times drive me batty, but they are healthy and full of life. My husband still loves me even though I am not the easiest person to live with (I am a control freak). He is such a hard worker and lets me be me. I have the most supportive family ever. My mother went shopping for me today, even though she was just as busy as me. My sister-in-law came over with my niece and nephew and made us dinner (yummy chicken alfredo). One of my best friends decided to email me a surprise, and well, it was a doozy (Thank you Lisa). All of this may seem simple, but after a long hard look at it all, it means the world to me. It just so happen when I needed a little lift, I got it. God is good. So for now, my reflection about life is good. It wasn't a bad day.

Oh, and Bon Jovi was on American Idol and one more day til Grey's Anatomy (can't forget that). Have a good night and count your blessings.
