Reflections

I've been reflecting a lot lately.  This is what happens at the end of another year.

This could have been a very discouraging year.

When you only have one chance to try and have another baby and it doesn't work...not a good thing.

When we've been unsuccessful before I've been devastated.  I sink into depression...I withdraw into myself...I disappear.

But this year...

Even with our lack of success, I'm still here...even in the darkness of Alaska.

I'm here in this wonderful life I love.

We are so blessed with the two incredible miracles we have...how can I not love my life?

How can I disappear when I see these blessings in front of me every day?

It's impossible to disappear when my arms are literally so full of love and blessings.


So...while I could easily be grateful this year is ending because of a prayer seemingly unanswered...

I'm sitting here reflecting in an attitude of gratitude.

What a wonderful year of so many answered blessings...and blessings un-asked for, but generously and lovingly given.
