Sometimes it is easy to get beat down by the poop explosions, the constant bickering, the never ending discipline and general "uhgs" of life. I've been having my moments recently, moments where I am completely exhausted and annoyed with how things are. So, I took some time this morning and went back over the past few months to remind myself of the joys, blessings and wonderful moments of my life. I looked through pictures and chose a few that remind me to be thankful. Not all encompassing by any means, and some totally random, but good ones that help me to change my attitude and praise the Lord.
Sometimes I just need to practice the discipline of being thankful and renew my joy.
My life is truly blessed.

Oh Dani, what a great idea. Gotta remember to just look at the past to be reminded of how good it was, and how good that future past is going to be! Thanks for the pics! Love you dear!
Thanks Dani, love the pictures! Had one of those overwhelming kid moments today and then suddenly realized that I'm so lucky to be able to stay home with my kids. Thanks for the reminder to look up-you are so blessed and a blessing!
Being thankful is a discipline, isn't it? It takes effort to refocus our minds. Especially in the middle of poop and such. Sigh. When everyone is demanding something at once, I forget how blessed I am to have them at all. Thanks for the reminder. Miss you!
