The Small Stuff

it"s all small stuff. God doesnt give us more than we can handle. What doesn"t kill you makes you stronger. We learn from our mistakes. Everything happens for a reason.

I guess these are all true and it's easy to reflect on it AFTER all the STUFF has passed. But while it's going on - it's so so so not fun. And if you wait long enough it just happens again. I believe it's called life. After complaining yesterday about my cruddy year I think I'll make a commitment to staying positive. Or really trying to- I do enjoying whining. And my friend Vicky reminded me of lots of good things that happened last year.

So far this year (and it's only January 6th) we rang in the New year with friends - spent New Years day with family. My children went back to school, our lab Millie was spayed with no complications. I have finally gotten over my cold and stomach virus. I have completed 6 hours of continuing education in order to get my respiratory license reactivated, I am taking a novel writing class starting in February. Denton had a great check up with her peds GI doctor and is starting to taper her steroid dose down again FINALLY! Riley is going to be on the morning TV program as an anchor at her school. I get to buy new ski pants because Denton needs new ones - she is getting my old ones and I get new ones!!!

Alright, here's to me, trying to keep the glass half full. Not easy for me at times. I feel like I am fairly laid back, can let things go but I do have a limit. I start to feel "picked on"! Not this year! I'm looking for the silver lining... cheers y'all
