As you can see it has been a long time since I have posted. Why?? Mainly because when I think about it I don't want to. Now that is not a very good reason, but an honest one. The past few months I have had a lot to be grateful for.
1. I am grateful for family. Hyrum had his first birthday and is healthy and happy. Kyle and I celebrated our 8th anniversary!! Zachary finished Kindergarten. He did wonderfully and learned so much. On his tests he scored in the 98th percentile for math and the 92nd for reading. Eric finished preschool and is excited to move on to Kindergarten next year. I have planned a school for the summer, which I am excited about. Wendy moved into a big girl bed, and talks up a storm. She is also quick to say thank-you. We went on a family trip to Hawaii.
2. I am also grateful for the plan of salvation. The past few months have been difficult in some ways. My Grandma Haroldsen passed away. She was a wonderful example. I am grateful for her life and the example of Grandpa caring for and loving her through illness.
3. I am also grateful for peace. I started having anxiety attacks and always being worried. It has definitely affected the way I live. I am currently on medication, which I am thankful for, but I don't know if it is really working. I am often tired (exhausted) and take naps during the day (at least I can). I also don't have much of an appetite, especially in the morning (I have lost 15 lbs). I have had to call on Kyle multiple times (he is willing to stay home and is worthy to give me blessings). As you can see even in trial there are many blessings, I need to take the time to write them down. So I recommit to using this blog as a way to remember all that the Lord has blessed me with.
