Looking for Blessings

I read a post on Social Media about finding your own "magic" in everything around you. While I do not believe in magic, I decided to read the post to see what types of magic these people were finding in their every day lives. They were looking for "Magic" in everything, and since they were looking they found "Magic" in everything. They could "see" magic all around them, and this made them happy.

This inspired me :) not to look for magic, but to look at my life and find all the little blessings that are right in front of me. Blessings that may not look like much to anyone else, but to me they are HUGE.

When I started looking, I was amazed at how happy finding and acknowledging these blessings made me feel. These are my blessings from today!

I started looking around my house for blessings....then I realized, I am living in a great neighborhood, in a house, that may not be completely finished, but it is a home for me and my family.

When I got into our truck, I stopped and thanked God for the blessing of this vehicle, we had been praying for a 2nd vehicle, and God blessed us with an opportunity to purchase this truck from a family member, and we LOVE it!

As I was clocking into work this afternoon, I hugged my client, and saw the smile on her face when I said Hi, and the 1st thing I thought of was how blessed I was to have a client that is so sweet, and that I enjoy spending time with :)

As I walked in from work, my family met me at the door with hugs ad kisses, which in my opinion is the BEST blessing of today! My family truly are the best blessing I have, and I think God for them daily. My husband Loves and supports me in all my crazy adventures, and my daughter makes my heart smile all the time. She is kind and sweet and is a little crazy like her mom :)

While I wasn't looking for "magical" moments in my life, I sure did find something so much better.

Blessings are contagious, once you find one, you want to look for more. Once you see them in your life, you will want to be a blessing to others in your life.

So this weekend, take a look around, and find your blessings....I promise,
they are all around you!

Having to say Goodbye

Saying good bye to someone is never easy, especially if you know that it may be the Last time you may ever see them, hug them, whisper that you Love them. You want to hold on to them forever and never let go......and then you have to leave...with that doubt in your mind, the whispered lies floating through your mind, taking root, that you were not there enough, that you didn't hug, kiss, or say you loved them enough. It's enough to crush you...enough to make you want to hide away from everyone.....even yourself. This is where we are...my Beautiful Mom is on hospice..and I am trying to wrap my head around that word.. Hospice......such a scary word....its the knowledge that the end is near, but never knowing when that final day will come. The past few months we have been making every opportunity to be with her, we knew this was coming, and we were going to make as many memories with her as we could, but there will always be more memories we want to share with her.

Our Mini Vacation in Pictures

Last weekend, my family and I packed up our car and after stopping to get our nieces, we headed to Branson, for a back-to-school mini vacay! We decided to celebrate the start of another homeschooling year, by going to an indoor water park called Grand Country! This is the 2nd time we have been there, and other then a few things that had changed since our previous trip ( we really missed the falling balloons at the fun spot party), it was just as great The following is our weekend in pictures/videos :) The girls loved the Water Park, and spent most of the time running back and forth between the slides and the lazy river (I liked the hot tub and lazy river the best). While I got sick 1/2 way through the weekend, I can honestly say that the trip was a success, and we will be returning there at the beginning of the year. We were in all need of a break from the car! I needed to visit the restroom and stretch my legs. The girls needed to dance and sing and get a little playtime in b

Giving Up Control

Four days until our family leaves for a mini vacation to Branson.....only four days! I have actually been counting down for the last month! My hubby got the suitcase down and I have little piles of folded laundry sitting around the house, just waiting for me to pack them in the suitcase for our vacation. I am SO ready to leave! I have high expectations for this vacation. a weekend of reading, watching my daughter and nieces have fun at the indoor water park at Grand Country , and spending some quality time with my hubby! I have lists of what needs to be done, what should be packed and in which bags, and I have already picked out some new books that I really want to read while I relax! I have it all planned out! I know I'm not the only one who packs way a head of time, has great expectations of what the days ahead will hold for them and their family and drives everyone around them crazy while they are in "preparing mode"...at least I hope I am not the onl
