I’m trying to kick a cold (and the cough with it). I desperately need to decorate for Christmas (after all, we DO celebrate Christmas, or a variation thereof, and are having the festivities at our house). I need to get moving on purchasing presents (I did manage to order some fun presents for Haven this weekend, though). I need. I want.
What I really needed this Monday morning was something to put things into perspective. To ground me. For those of you churchy folks, I needed to see the light.
And here it was. I had already read about Stephanie and her devastating plane crash. But, I had not checked out her blog since August. Until this morning. When I quickly changed my tune.
I am thankful. Thankful to have a warm home. I am blessed. Blessed to have a family that consists of loving husband (who, by the way did a fabulous job of taking care of me this weekend), a beautiful, healthy daughter, two furry creatures and even all of the crazy relatives scattered around us. I am grateful.
