Rainy Day

Today I find joy sitting on the couch with Angel just watching and listening to the rain through an open window. I realize how lucky I am to have Angel in my life. Will and I have no children yet although the desire is constant deep down in my heart. I have loved her like I would love a child of my womb and I am joyed to know that she is comfortable and at peace curled up in my lap. She in turn gives me comfort as I watch her sleep, knowing that some day we will share our rainy day spot on the couch with another who's heart we will love, comfort, and protect together...with Will's help of course!

Changes

I've never blogged before. Most of the time I don't even know what I would write about; what theme I would have. However, looking back on this year I realize that there have been many changes in my life that I could have been sharing all along.  I've learned a lot about myself and my family. I have grown as a person. I have accomplished many things. I have been the bigger person in several tense situations. I have helped turn a business around and have been offered a promotion. I have made sacrifices to help a friend in need. I have lost 25 pounds of weight brought on by pain and depression - I'm in my skinny jeans again and it feels good.

In preparation for the coming New Year, I've decided to set aside some time throughout each week to stop and think about what's going on in my life; what makes this day different from the rest; what it is that makes my existence special and blessed... My life is not as boring as I give it credit for and I am determined to make myself believe this and share my experiences with others.
