I am posting this evening in hopes of capturing my thoughts tonight…because they are often fleeting when distracted by dishes and bedtime and other things that get in the way.  We were driving in the car (me and the boys) on our way home from getting Sonic (sad, but true)…and I had a flash of JOY.  The kind that comes only when we listen but seems to be fleeting, like I said.  It is the kind that is pure.  And it comes from my thoughts about how blessed I am and how I really have everything I’ve ever wanted.  Two beautiful, healthy and happy children (did I mention funny, charming and slightly precocious?).  A wonderful, hard-working and loving husband who happens to also be a great dad.  An opportunity to stay at home and run our household and all of the privileges that gives me.  A faith that sustains me and comforts me and helps me to recognize moments like these.  Family and friends that love and support and laugh with me (the laughing part I especially enjoy).  And all of the other stuff that is really not that important and yet gives enjoyment and pleasure.  I am counting my blessings tonight.  And realizing that I have ENOUGH and to spare.  And I’m grateful. 

Hoping you can have moments like these this weekend too.
