The past few days have been emotionally trying. I'm frustrated with my job, DH and I have had some friction with a neighbor, and it seems like no matter how hard we try to be smart with our spending & saving we'll never be able to get ahead.
I believe the right word to describe how I've been feeling is meh.
I took a picture a few weeks ago of the sun rising over the highway as I drove to work.
It may be hard to really see it here (I snapped a quick picture while stopped at a red light), but it was so beautiful. It reminded me of the kind of sunrise you see at the beach on vacation, and I think it was exactly what I needed to see to boost my spirits and change my attitude.
These are the things I'm thankful for this week:
1. Special moments with my son pointing out our freckles and counting them
2. Playtime on the floor
3. A wonderful husband that listens to what I have to say and doesn’t judge me for it.
4. Family and friends that help me escape my troubles.
5. Snickers bars to help the afternoons go by just a little faster.
Great post!!
ReplyDelete...stopping by from SITS...
Hope things are looking up for you soon. There are so many little blessings in any given day but sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees.
ReplyDeleteStopped by from SITS to say good morning.
I can see it, that is a beautiful picture. I am sorry about the friction with the neighbors. Ours own a dog that completely ATE THROUGH our wooden fence all the time. Then there was an eccentric woman next door...that played the ice cream theme song at 3:30 in the morning by her window...
ReplyDeleteGlad you see the positive instead of just the negative though.
I know what you mean. We have very cruel neighbors, who will not let their sons play with ours. It's pretty bad. They told me why, but I still can't believe it.
ReplyDeleteLife...we have to keep our face to the sun.
