I haven't posted in right around nine months. I have thought about it often, but just haven't been able to get my thoughts together long enough to put them down.
Things have changed around here. I'm working full-time (over full-time actually) and not getting to stay home and be a good little house wife. I miss my family. I miss my friends. I miss my dogs. I even miss cooking, cleaning, and getting the laundry done. This got me thinking... when I was home, I felt like all I did was cook, clean, and laundry. I wanted a job and to contribute to our family, pay bills, and take some stress of the hubby. Now, I feel like I can't contribute to home life as much as I would like. The grass is always greener.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with this blog, but it is uplifting, thought provoking, and definitely worth reading. When I read this particular post, I was completely blown away. It hit home, was perfect timing, and just what I was needing. It seems to me that being thankful is equally about being optimistic and seeing the good instead of dwelling on the bad. I am thankful for my life. I am thankful for a wonderful loving family, friends, and dogs. We have a roof over our head and can pay our bills. I have a job where I am able to help people every day. My new goal is to express my thanks more often, whenever and where ever I can.
