this will help.

This will show one of my character flaws, but I am okay with sharing. When you go through something really hard, do you ever feel really picked on? Like for every 5 positive things that happen, there are 10 negative things. Making it impossible to see all the good. Just me? Oh well, I never claimed to be perfect anyway.

Remember in November when I wrote a little thankful post every day for a week or so? I decided I need to do that again. It helped me look for the positive, and in these past couple of months I have not been consistently good at doing this.

I realize people have it much worse than I do. My life is relatively easy, and I know this obstacle we are faced with will soon be over. Thankfully. This will all be a speed bump in the scheme of things.

I have had this thought a lot lately...I am thankful that I can work, and I am thankful I can stay home. Once I have gotten the kids to the sitter, and we are out working, I love it. I feel accomplished, and it feels good to provide for our family. The days I get to stay home, I love it too. I like to be the one to kiss hurt fingers, take a nap with the kids, scratch Devin's back, watch endless amounts of cartoons, and clean if I feel like it. See? My life is good.

Today I was thankful for our friend inviting Devin to go and see The Lego Movie. He was so excited, and since Sabrina has the flu...it was good timing for him.

I was thankful that we were able to go outside and play, because it warmed up just enough that Devin thought he should wear flip flops and shorts {only in Utah}.

I loved getting an email from my friend, and a text from another one. It made me feel like someone was thinking of me, even when I feel lonely over here cleaning up throw up.
  
Who knows how long I will need to keep up my thankful posts. Maybe a week, or another month. I know I already feel better. 

We shall meet here tomorrow night for another segment of Von's thankful for random crap.
