Over the past few days I have received a lot of feedback from people about how my blog is a blessing to them, a bright spot in their day.  I am so glad to hear this, and humbled to know that my thoughts touch people.  For me, this blog has been a blessing, a therapeutic great outlet.  I love sharing my story with people, and this blog helps me to feel connected and surrounded by support and prayer.  As many of you know (and I think that I referenced this in a previous post) Tim and I have had a rough few years.  However, we agree that our love for each other and the bond within in our family unit has never been stronger.  We often talk about “next year” and the plans that we have and then stop and laugh.  Call it cynicism or maybe call it living in reality but we have learned in the past three years not to plan for a “good year”, instead we wait and take what we get.  Funny thing is, when we look back, or on the days we are feeling sorry for ourselves and dare to compare our trials to those of people around us we still can look back and be grateful for what we have.  I guess you learn to do that quickly when faced with so many life lessons out of your control. 

So I wanted to take a moment to share a song with you that a friend of mine shared with me.  Keeping this message in mind, in the midst of a difficult time has helped me to keep things in perspective.

Blessings by Laura Story – She wrote this song while her husband was going through the long recovery process from a brain tumor.
