Gratitude

So, someday I'll post Thanksgiving and baby shower pictures.... but life has been so crazy and busy lately.

It's also been pretty rough, and I'm getting so tired of it. I'm especially getting sick and tired of crying all the time. And I feel like there are too many legitimate things to cry about, even if I wasn't pregnant.

Anyway, I was just trying to tell myself to keep my chin up, everything will be fine, etc. It wasn't really working.

What does work though, almost every time, is reminding myself how blessed I am and how grateful I am for the life I have.

I have Chase. That alone makes everything a million times better. And we have Finn now. And we always, always have Heavenly Father and His Son. Things may get difficult with jobs and family and friends and other things... but they pass, and life is still incredible in so many ways.

I know without a doubt that everything will be okay. I'm not worried at all about that. But that doesn't mean it's still not hard. So reminding myself that I have so much to be thankful for, so much that so many others are without, helps me to be humble and grateful and know that it will all work out for the best.

I apologize to anyone reading this. But just needed to get this out so I wouldn't start crying at work. Stupid hormones. :)
