Incredibly Blessed

In anticipation of moving in over a month.. I packed a box. Yup. A single box. And it took me about an hour to do. That's because it was all journals and letters. And I can't possibly pack away those things without reading through them!

I have written in my journal almost daily since I was about 12. (Lately its more like weekly, to bi-weekly). They are full of dreams, ambitions and woes of my teenager-hood. I went through a roller-coaster of emotions reading the words I put on each page. Feeling the heartache, loneliness, worry, excitement, and happiness all over again. It made me grateful for the many things I have had, and have been blessed with. 

>Here are a few things I am grateful for
      [because hard things don't need mentioning]

-A loving Husband who loves me, supports me, and works so hard 

- Mom and Dad, who I still count as best friends

- Siblings... who, I'm told, learned all of their craziness from me

- A place to live

- Food to eat

- Extended family; Those who I can always call friends!
