You know who you are and what you do to people…. You hurt them for your own gain. You will hurt me no more. I am DONE….
And on that note, I will list what I am feeling grateful for, so I can snap out of this pissed off mood….
I am grateful for:
* My beautiful daughter
* Memories of my son
* My hard working husband
* My mom for always helping me out with my daughter
* TRUE friends
* My warm house
* Food in my fridge
* No war in my backyard
* A view of beautiful snowfall from my window while I type this
* My kitties
* The ability to read, write, think, walk, love
* the feeling of ambition
* the information I have gathered on my ancestors online
* living in the United States
* a full house for my January Scrapbook Retreat!

I must apologize for my lack of posting lately! I have been so darn busy with working and running around and taking care of every day life, that I have neglected my dear blog…
Things here are so crazy. My husband’s hours were cut in half and I had to get a part time job as well. I also have been doing everything I can to try to make a buck… Times are so tough all over, I am very grateful that my husband is working at least half time!
Today is a sad day. My friend had to put her beautiful dog Angel to sleep today. I have been helping her out by taking Angel out for potty breaks while my friend was working long hours. The poor dog had cancer and her organs were failing. My friend held onto her as long as she could, but it was time to let her go. I will miss sweet Angel so much… Here is a photo of her with my daughter. We took pics the other day, because we knew she wasn’t going to be around much longer…

I have seen this incredible artist at several craft shows and I finally broke down and had her do a portrait of my son and daughter. I will never actually have a photo of both my kids together, so I am so happy to have this beautiful work of art!! To see more of her work, go here: www.annejonesportraits.com

Happy 6th Birthday my sweet Alex!
Today you would be six years old! So hard to imagine what you would look like. I bet you would be adorable and so much fun to play with. I hope you got the balloons we sent up to heaven to you today. Dad, Samantha and I all wish you were here with us. Life is not the same without you, Buddy….
Although you are gone, I am still so very grateful I am your mommy and you are my son.
My heart and my empty arms still ache for you, and probably always will.
I love you ALEX!
Always & Forever,
Mom

Hello World!
I am a midwestern, thirty-something mom who has so much to be grateful for.
I have recently been interested in the “Law of Attraction” and how it works. Basically the concept is that if you think positive, then positive things will manifest in your life. I have been through a lot of tough times and sometimes it is hard to stay focused on being “positive”, but I am going to try my best to do so. That is why I decided to start a blog about all of the things I am grateful for to keep me on track.
These are just random things I am grateful for right now, there’s no specific order:
1. I am grateful for my health
2. I am grateful for my husband being a HARD worker
3. I am grateful for my mother who always helps me with Samantha
4. I am grateful for my beautiful Samantha for bringing a rainbow after the storm
5. I am grateful that I was blessed with my son, even if it was for only 22 days.
6. I am grateful that there is a beautiful place called heaven where my son waits for me
7. I am grateful I have a home that is comfortable and clean and I have more than enough materialistic things
8. I am grateful that I am creative
9. I am grateful that we took Samantha to see “Kung Fu Panda” and she has a fun time. It was so nice to spend the time with her doing something she enjoyed.
10. I am grateful for my beautiful cats Shadow and Tasha and for my fish in the fishtank. =)
