Layla

{Thankful}

by LaylaDec 7, 2005
Conversations with friends today made me nostalgic I guess... it just got me to thinking about being bored and how blessed I am to be just that. I hope no one takes this layout as patronizing because its so not meant to be... its just my thoughts for today and of course I had to use that whacko altered picture... for me it symbolizes how lucky I am really... to sit and be bored... be able to take my photo in the bathroom mirror cuz I have nothing else pressing to do today and laugh about it. I love my life.
Anyhoo...

12 December 2005
It’s cold here today, but I have shelter. And I’m bored, but I have a wonderful hobby. My car squeals when I start it, but it starts. And my kids fought and whined all morning before school, but today they’re healthy, and they went to school with full, warm bellies. My husband snores so loud I sometimes can’t sleep, but I know how deeply he loves me and I him. Today I’m at peace. We all have our moments of course, but would you really trade it? I give thanks to God for blessing me with all this chaos! I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Um, the 12th isn't for a few more days. Kidding! I think it's fantastic and I think that the journaling is something you should look at when you think life sucks because you are lucky. We all are. :o)
