Blessings

My life is full of blessings, and I wish that those blessings would compensate for the stresses.
I'm going to work on documenting those blessings in these posts.

  • I'm blessed with two enthusiastic and creative boys.  Even when one prefers to be holed up in his room designing a new CosPlay outfit and the other can quote the Disney Channel at the drop of a hat.  One of these days they won't want to snuggle with their mom... and they'll grow up, but I want them to always know how much they mean to me!
  • I'm blessed with a boyfriend who is doing his best to provide for our family.  A little axe welding in the side yard has resulted in several cords of wood ready for the newly installed wood stove this winter.
  • I'm blessed with parents who support me in all of my endeavors - including setting up and tearing down my craft booth this weekend and letting my kiddos hang out at 'the farm' rather than sit with me.
  • I'm blessed with the ability to explain difficult math concepts to reluctant students.  Even when they don't want to listen... at all!
  • I'm blessed with colleagues who give of themselves more than they get.  And often don't know how much they are appreciated.
  • I'm blessed with a roof over my head that provides me a safe haven.  
  • I'm blessed with good health - and should remind myself of that every day!
Yes, I'm blessed with many things - and need to focus on those to help get through those tough times.

Silly Me

I'm organizing my posts with labels and realizing that the majority of them are talking about WEATHER! So what does that say about me? Am I being ambiguous? Am I generic? Am I BORING? Or am I still not taking the plunge to put my life out on the world-wide-web for all to see?

I guess I should find a topic and stick to it - not simply the stream of consciousness that I've been doing. But I always have through of myself as NOT a One-Trick Pony... a Jill-of-all-trades (complements of my mom's multi-tasking efforts growing up)... so I'm not sure if I will be able to focus one just one or two things.

I have a wide range of interests, and I don't feel like I'm 'GREAT' at anything - just 'GOOD' at lots... we'll see how it goes.
