So pathetic!

I have so much to blog about! Blessings are like blog posts, so I should be writing like every minute but what in the world do I do with my days? I suppose I am mothering and stuff. Strange. I have my newer pics on Greg's laptop and he is out of town this weekend so I just wanted to blog quickly and then I can post pics up later. I have noticed that I am not a journal blogger. I am more of the, here are cute pictures of my kids (like 3 months ago because I am always so far behind) kind of blogger. But since I absolutly stink about writing in my own journal ...mabey I will sort of kind of journal on here...nothing too personal of course!

You know, I find it kind of funny that I was throwing such a fit about moving to Richmond, crying...using the silent treatment...complaining to my running group....cursing under my breath (no I wouldn't do that:))...and what did all that negative energy do? Nothing...not a stinkin thing! I still moved to Richmond! Uggh, did I think that all of that fit throwing would actual stop me from moving? The actual outcome was still the same...except that I had just made it that much harder on myself!!! well, and for my family. It taught me that no matter how hard we complain or whine or beat ourselves and other people up over the things we have to go thru in this life, we will still have to go through them!! Complaining and dragging our feet will only make it harder, it wont stop the trial no matter how small or big from coming our way! That negative energy is so very draining. So, I guess, I need to say sorry to all those that I constantly complained to! I dont love Richmond, but I am loving my life!

Ok, next post, pictures!

So true! Thanks for reminding me of that. I've been complaining all week about Matt being gone for finals and it just made it harder. You are so wise!

I hear you! Thanks for the reminder. Life just gets tough sometimes, and an acknowledgment of that is okay- but dwelling on it makes it so much worse. You have always inspired me with your positive outlook on life and I always felt uplifted after spending time with you. I miss you! Tell Greg and your girls hi from us and have a Merry Christmas!
