Gratitude

I have been pouring over the nienie blog and her sister's and I am in tears. What an amazing family. I have so much to be grateful for and yet I often find myself complaining. Obviously life's curveballs are thrown at us for a reason. ( Kris often tells me that god has a sense of humor)
I guess I am usually feeling pretty picked on for having the curveball versus asking myself what can I learn from this? I think I am going to start doing a thankful thursday blog from now on and pick something or someone that I am grateful for.
I think today I will start with Kylie.
Kylie is my beautiful daughter. I am grateful for Kylie for teaching me how to be a mother. How to be less selfish, I was basically a baby having a baby. I know she is going to become someone amazing someday. She is the best little artist I have seen in our family and sooooo smart.
I am grateful for her health and her smile. Right now she has the smile with some big girl teeth and the baby teeth. Priceless. I love my little family, and I am grateful for all my blessings. Also, I am grateful for those who read my blog and actually care enough about us to check out what we are doing :)

I am right there with you. So often I feel picked on and discouraged. I so easily forget to look around at all the many blessings I have. I love the idea for your Thankful Thursday.
