Words can not explain but I will try...

I have been really reflective the last few weeks and especially the last few days. I feel like I have been, and continue to be on, a spiritual journey. It's been a very enjoyable one. I feel like I have really grown to recognize the spirit in my life, whether it's just a presence or promptings. In the process of all this I really have opened my eyes to how incredibly blessed I am. I mean, I know I am blessed and have a good life, but actually really standing still often, and really taking it all in. First of all I am blessed to have this wonderful gospel in my life. Without it I don't think I would have much direction. I have a wonderful husband. Through all of our ups and downs I really feel we are truly connected and in sync, I love him more than words can say. He is the love of my life. I learn everyday how wonderful he is by watching him put me and the kids first and very rarely thinking of himself. I have 2 beautiful children that when I look in their eyes I can truly feel the love they have for me. I know that may sound selfish in a sense, however because I love them so incredibly much, it is a wonderful feeling to look into their eyes and feel it with a connection that will never be broken between us. I am a better person because of my children. I have absolutely wonderful parents who taught me to be a good and honest person. I can't even begin to explain the love I have for them. I have amazing in-laws. I'm not just saying that I really do. I know that a lot of people aren't as lucky as I am. They are truly loving and giving people who my kids and I are so lucky to have in our life. They raised and amazing son, and I am reaping the benefits of that. My brothers and sisters...I have the most amazing bond with my brothers and sisters. I could list each and every one and name the reasons why, but I have 6 of them. This wouldn't be a post, it would be a book. I love them so much. And my friends, I have a few friends that I have had since the beginning of time. They are such wonderful people and have truly touch my life for many years. It is so nice to have life long friends that you can share things with and grow together. These are just a few things that I have had on my mind lately and felt I needed to share it somehow, and I thought this would be appropriate. I am truly happy in my life, and I know not everyone can say that. I know there are times in my life when I wasn't happy, and knowing what unhappy feels like makes me very aware of my blessing of being happy. Thanks to those of you who read this....these are truly feelings from my heart.
