blessings
Ya know, it has been a very long time since I updated here. Facebook takes up all my time!! Ha. And work -- but now that I am on my summer I have my life back again.
And even though it's only been a couple weeks of summer... I can see so much that I was blind. I knew I was blessed, I have always known I am a blessed woman. But when I am able to sit back and SEE things other than the stress and emotional turmoil of August through June... the realization of how things are so beautiful and wonderful just really does shine.
My friends are wonderful. My circle of them has widened because of church. And I can't believe it took so long for it to happen too! I am blessed.
I have a wonderful second family. I don't think a girl could ask for better in-laws, or better sisters and a brother. Who knew I'd have sisters who rock so much?! I cannot wait to see what the future holds for them, for us, for everything. I am blessed.
I have a wonderful mom and dad. I love hanging out with my mom during the day. She is one of my best friends for sure. I value my time with her and while other girls may enjoy time with high school buddies, college friends, etc -- I would MUCH rather spend my time with my mom. Besides, she knows me well, knows me when I am not so nice to be around and knows me when I am happy go lucky and STILL loves me even on the bad days -- what more can you ask out of a friend? She is a wonderful woman who is strong, raised two kids, loved my dad unconditionally, and kept house in working order (although she may say it wasn't always clean... to me, that doesn't matter. Were we safe at night? Did we have love? Thats what matters. I am sooo proud of my dad too. He is nearly 100 pounds lighter after his heart surgery. He works out every day and he is an inspiration to all. He is a strong man in his faith,, and he has shown how a man should love a woman through the love he has shared with my mom. If it wasn't for his example, I would never have met the man I fell in love with. Dad surly set that bar high! I love them so much. I am blessed.
And most of all, I am blessed because of Keith. He has changed my life. The way of thinking, the way of living, the way of everything. He makes every day worth waking up to. He makes me smile until my face is in pain (haha), makes me laugh until I cry, makes me feel comfortable and secure in my own skin, makes me not angry even if I want to be (grr, he can ALWAYS calm me down! What super power is this?!), he is patience, he is kindness, he is masculinity and strength with care and tenderness all rolled into one. He listens, he talks, he holds me up when I'm down, and is my number one fan when I'm ready to take on anything. God truly has given me a gift. A gift of the heart... and thats what Keith is. He is my heart.
I am blessed. :)
