On a Much Lighter Note...
I just had to write a follow-up to my last post. I was such a downer. But everyone just needs to be allowed time to just complain every once in a while. Most of us call that "venting". And to be honest it made me feel so much better just to write it all out! So I was sad for a little while, I vented, and I am moving on.
And do you know what followed my honesty about how I was feeling? I was shown how many wonderful, sweet friends I have. So much encouragement this week from all of you! Sure, I am still very busy, tired, and am not rich, but so much less does that stuff matter when you know how much love you have from others in your life. And I currently have cupcakes baking in the oven. Do you know how hard it is to be sad when you can smell cupcakes baking? Really hard.
It is also really hard to be sad when your sister is pregnant! I am going to be an Auntie! I am so unbelievably happy and excited! I just hope I can be there for that little baby even if I don't live close.
And speaking of babies, I held my dear friends less than 24 hour old newborn today. Oh my goodness he is so precious. I felt so much love when holding him and he isn't even mine! I can't even imagine what it will be like to hold my own someday. My problems seem so small and insignificant when such precious new life is being brought into this world. Is baby therapy a thing? Because it should be. Sad people everywhere should be allowed to hold newborn babies. It is good for the soul.
There is just so much happiness happening this week! But what's hard to admit is that this happiness is really happening all the time, but sadness overshadows it much too easily. But for now I will hold on to all this "happy" :)
I wish such a great rest of the week on all of you! Make a conscious decision to look at all the joyous things in your life!
