I have pondered all weekend about writing because this is "my out" and I have needed out for a couple of days now, but just haven't been able to sit down to write....I wanted to complain about my crazy week and how I just found gum in my 5 month old dryer, but then I began thinking...............
There is something else I should be doing instead on complaining....I should be thankful and grateful for all I have and all my family has......what the heck am I thinking...because we didn't have power for 15 hours, some people don't have power for days, some weeks because they can't afford it....Brooks and I had a ridiculous argument Wednesday morning, that set the tone for the whole day...(it was all because we got up 5 minutes late and I should mention he drove all the way to SP on his lunch break to put a rose and note in my car....therefore I am very lucky and blessed to have him)....some couples argue everyday over much bigger things, I am thankful that we argue on rare occasion and grateful that it is over nothing serious.....Bryson has been on my last nerve today, but how could I be mad at a child that doesn't understand my crazy emotions at this time....why should I get mad at him, when many out there can't have kids of their own....how selfish Alysha!
I now realize why I haven't sat down before this moment to write....I have seen many sad stories this weekend posted on FB and my so called "bad" week is in no comparison to those who have been diagnosed with cancer, other diseases, said good bye to family members (forever and some temporarily), etc. I get it now.....I am thankful and grateful! I pray for those who have had a much worse week than my very own and I pray that the weeks ahead are easier and less painful than the past.
I hope that if are one of the ones mentioned above that you find some sort of peace and comfort this week and know that many are praying for you and many believe in the end it will all work out!
Much love to you and I hope you can be thankful and grateful with me! Enjoy your week! Alysha
