Trust

Thanks to our unwanted visitors, I was forced to write down on a piece of paper a detailed list of everything that was stolen.  Some things were easy to not only write, but give a monetary value to. (Engagement ring.)  But what if I started putting things on the list like trust?  What is the value of that?  Or security? 

It always happens in the movies, so why can't it always happen in real life?  The hero catches the bad guy, and saves the day, everyone lives happy ever after. 

I saw a sign the other day that I am trying to make my new motto, "Count your blessings, not your troubles."  Very true.  Very true.  It is so easy to look at the glass as half empty.  I am sure we have all done it at least once.  I am always fussing at my husband when he does he, and here I am calling the kettle black. 

So with that in mind, I have lost of blessings, and fewer troubles, I just need reminding of that every once in awhile. 

On a good note, today is my dad's birthday.  We got to celebrate last night with him, and the girls had big fun eating cake and hanging out with the family.  Family is such a treasure, and hopefully I will instill the those same treasures in my girls when they are older.  At any rate, happy birthday, daddy!  I am glad we got to spend the day with you, and hope you have a great day today!

It is definitely a Monday, I can feel it in my bones.  I woke up early, and just wanted to stay in bed today.  Thankfully, it is nice out, and the girls will want to go out and play. 

Ahh....the things my children make me do.....Actually, if it weren't for them, I would still be in bed.
