TGIF

Actually... I might soon be saying TGIMonday. Whirlwind weekend ahead... really really tired of running from one thing to the next- always in a hurry. I have been keeping a good attitude about it; suddenly Jason is not, and it is hard to keep your chin up when the people around you begin to struggle.

I have not been home till 9:30 the last two night... will have to do the same tonight... and spend all day Saturday as well. Sunday has two out of the ordinary events planned... the house it s mess... BIG homework is piling on me... grocery shopping and meal planning needs to fit in somehow... ahhhh. I am suddenly reminded about the "belief" that I have on my side column. The things we complain about are often the privlidges in our lives.

{Attitude Adjustment}

My job is a GIFT! Honestly, it is. When I reflect back... it was a miracle.

My opportunity {my word for 2008} to get a Master's Degree in them midst of my life is a privledge many people are not allowed.

The fact that I have the resources to go grocery shopping and to feed my family is a blessing.

My Sunday activities this week are my choice and I love both of them dearly... I am greived that I complained in my heart. I am thankful for both!

Aahhh... the dirty house. Without my family (who largely created the mess) I would be lost. I love them... and honestly I am missing them. I am longing for some 'down time' to putter around the house with them.

Back to the punch... Thank goodness it's Friday. I am going to try and embrace this day for what it is... loving those around me... encouraging my family, and taking two or three minutes for my self-care here and there.

I love how you turned your ideas of your world around. Encouraging others while you're at it!

Hope your weekend slows down enough to relax a little.

Thanks for inspiring me...it's so easy to get caught up in the "craziness" that I forget to see the gifts sometimes! What a great post! May this evening be filled with time just to "be"...time to enjoy your sweet family...and those Sweet Blessings!
