{Picture taken from my mothers garden}
.
I had to post this on my photo blog today.
.
I am inspired by many---{and I'm not only talking photography} My dad, My mother, my friends, My husband, many who have trials---many who don't. Abbie and Autumn inspire me.
My sisters ROCK! My dog Max inspires me---oh how hard would it be to be a dog. Children who laugh when they are sick. Mothers who have lost their sweet children. Those who smile when they are sad. Those who are positive when they are hurting inside.
.
I never get to ponder and think during the day. My days are to hectic.
Nights when everyone is asleep and its quiet {ahhhhhhhh can you hear the birds chirping, its so lovely} and I can finally have me time.
.
I dunno why I have thought this today.
I just know That HF put only one of me and one of you here.
So why not embrace.....luv me......hug me.....and be the best me!
.
.
I don't really know where Im going with this....
Probably because I feel so blessed. {Give a "HOLLA" if you feel blessed too}
My dad calls me almost every day with a thought, encouragement, I luv you's.
My mom rocks! and I always go to her house to steal cute things.
My sisters love me for who I am---I am the baby of the family, so I was bratty---{can you just believe that?} They love me, support me. I have hurdled some HUGE mountains, they were there helping me....I did not climb alone.
.
My husband.........
{ok tears streaming}
How in The world did HF know I needed him?
Its not easy being divorced with two small children.....but Mike came and made everything ok.
He loved me-----
.
.
When we have hardships---its hard to look at the good, especially during the "CRAP" time. But just look back, really think back--even tho you would never wanna do that again, are you grateful for who you have become?
I have.

Isn't Valentine's day FUN with kids and a hubby!?
You got married on Valentines Day? So jealous.. It is so nice to take a big deep breath and realize everything will be ok.
That was such a great post, Annie Lou. Thanks for sharing. I need to be a little more grateful! I have let things get me down and it is easy to let what you don't have, overshadow what you do have! So, thanks for the reminder and prod to count my many blessing. (P.S. I still want a baby reeeaaalllly bad, tho!)
Count me in for Feburary. Cute idea, btw. Ready set, go! Love ya, chick.
I am totally joining you.
I loved this post Annie. You are such a special person, and I am so so happy that you are part of my life again. You are so inspiring in so many ways.
I will join you too! What beautiful nighttime thoughts. We all have problems and then we just have to laugh to make the load lighter to bear. A sense of humor is what gets us through and gratitude.Your precious, thanks for sharing your family.
