As I sit here on this last day of 2012 I can’t help but to be thankful. I have a nice warm house to sit in, I have a full belly, I have 2 beautiful daughters sound asleep at 8:00pm with no complaints, a wonderful husband out working hard for our family,I have had the opportunity to see the love a community come together for friends in amazing ways, and have seem miracles come when people put their prayers heaven ward together. What more could a girl ask for?
This year has been an interesting year and I am thankful for all the challenges and blessings we have been faced with. I am thankful to know that I have a Heavenly Father that loves me and is aware of my needs and wants. Yes he challenges me but those challenges are there to make me stronger and ready to receive the blessings waiting for me. Yes I struggle with this and get mad and try to find blame yet in the end I always come back to the fact that I have never been left to struggle with out help. It comes in many ways sometimes very surprising ways yet it comes.
Many times a year I get asked what I want, whether it is for a birthday, anniversary, mother’s day, Christmas, or just cause and I always struggle to find something I want. I think in reality I have everything I want sure there are things that would be nice to have, or would make life more enjoyable or easier but they never really make it on my want list. I have everything I want except one thing and I know that will come with time. That one thing I want is more time with my husband. He is my best friend and I miss him so much when he is gone. I sometimes feel silly that I miss him as much as I do when he has only been gone for an hour or so. My heart goes out to those women that have to be away from their spouse for long periods of time for whatever reason. I am so thankful for him and the love he shows me and the girls. He works so hard and never complains just smiles and says “its another day in Paradise” . He is always there to comfort me and ease my burdens as much as he can. I have truly been blessed with a wonderful man.
I am going to miss the year 2012 yet am so excited for what 2013 is going to bring to our lives. We have many goals and are working hard toward those goals. I don’t set new years resolutions because I think it is really a way to set yourself up to fail and feel bad so I set goals and those goals have many small goals that will lead up to a big goal yet I feel good about things even if I only get one small goal finished at least I finished it.
Here is to 2013 and the amazing things that can happen in the next 12 months!
