Things I've Learned...

I've been thinking of some "attributes" that I have recently acquired. Well, things that I don't think I had before, but I feel like I have had to learn in the last few months. I must say, I am rather proud of myself. Or at least I'm grateful in some way that the Lord has forced me into submission.


#1- Remember how I said that I have never known content? Well, I'm living and breathing content these days. I'm grateful for my home, my car, my job, etc. Even though I want to move, want a new car, want to work only by choice, etc. Having your hubby lose his jobs makes you incredibly grateful for what you DO have, not what you DON'T.




#2- Balls. Yep, I said it. I have had to do and say a lot of things I wouldn't have wanted to in the last few months. I am generally an honest person, but only when asked for my opinion. But as of late I haven't had a choice in the matter. Honesty has been a necessity.
And that's all I can really think of for the moment. But the two of those things have been taking up an awful lot of my time and energy as of late. Here's to hoping I've learned enough on these two subjects for the time being. All I can say, is that thanks to the three people you see in the pictures throughout this post, I would not be as sane as I am at the moment. If you can call it sane... HA! HA! ;)

Well that just made me get choked up. I love you so much and am SO very sorry that you have had to learn these lessons and that you are continuing to live them...I would take it all away if I could...except for the learning to be content part...that's a good thing that I long for but I'm sorry you've had to learn it in this way.

Thanks for being my twin! Love you!
