Grateful

Today I am grateful. Grateful for Sydney. Grateful for our eternal family. Grateful for each and every day.

Sydney has been having some rough days lately and today wasn't any different. Just this morning I sat complaining to friends about how difficult she has been lately. I keep having these days that by the time 8 o clock rolls around I feel like I'm going crazy. But then something happened. A friend posted a link in her blog post that changed how I felt. A blog of a family that lost their 18 month old girl recently from a drowning accident. I sat and read their story and cried. And my complaining spirit soon turned to embarrassment, and then to gratitude. Embarrassement because I am SO blessed and instead of counting my blessings I complained. While this other sweet family lost their sweet little girl, Im sure they miss even those rough days with their sweet baby. I am so blessed to have Sydney in my life. I am grateful for every day with her. Even on days like today. Especially on days like today. My heart is so full right now. Tears are still streaming down my face. My sweet girl is napping and I cant wait for her to wake up so I can give her a big hug and kiss. I am grateful, so very grateful today. Are you?
