It's Sunday morning.  My teen daughter and neice are crashed out on the living room couches.  My hubby went for donuts and brought me a cinnamon roll.  I've got hot coffee with Carnation Chocolate Raspberry creamer in it.  Moments like this is what life is all about!  Can I get an Amen?!

It's not the big things that make up a good day or a good life, it's the little things.  That good morning kiss, your favorite coffee mug filled with good coffee, the sunshine on your rose bushes, and a few moments just to reflect on things. 

For all of the current turmoil in my life, I know that - when it comes right down to it - I am truly blessed.  I have a home I can afford to make the payments on.  I may be getting laid off, but my husband is a hard working man and smart with money, so with a tightening of the budget, I know we'll be ok.  I have happy, well adjusted kids.  I have finally recovered from my knee injury and have good health.  I have a wonderful, loving man as my husband and best friend.  I have peace in my heart knowing that - when I stop trying to control everything and remember to give things up to God- things will turn out as they should.

I am going to make the best of today.  I am going to put aside the anger and worry for today and just enjoy all that I have.  Then, maybe, it will be a little easier to do it again tomorrow.  I have to remember that no matter what my struggles are, I am truly and deeply blessed.

Can I get an Amen??
