My So-Charmed Life

I've had the chance to be off from school responsibilities for about seven weeks now.

It's been glorious. Amazing. Indulgent.

In that time, I've discovered a few new blogs that I'm now addicted to, as well as a website that I can browse and 'pin' all types of things, from hair styles to food (mostly desserts), home decor ideas to clothing.

After reading the blogs, and scrolling the web, I've come to this conclusion:

I live a charmed life.

The one I dreamed I would have when I was a kid.

Yes, I complain about my workload, my children, lack of money, and my bad hair days.

But when I sit down, be still, BREATHE, and ponder on how my life has been so far....I realize just how blessed I am.

I have a handsome husband who works hard to provide for our family and is my biggest cheerleader. He loves me and reminds me that I'm pretty.

I have three beautiful children that my Heavenly Father has trusted me with that are good people. And they get along most of the time.

I have a house that I love that is filled with things that make me happy. Most of those things are my family, or are associated with my family.

I am humbled to be able to serve my Heavenly Father and He has found ways to teach me new talents that I never knew I could possess. In all of my callings, I have felt His love and care for ME.

I get to continue my education and pursue the person I feel I need to be. It's the coolest and hardest thing I've done in a long time and I am so lucky to be able to do this!

So, tell me....how is YOUR life charmed? If you don't want to comment, that's fine.

Just sit down with yourself, have a quiet moment, BREATHE, and ponder.

And then be grateful.
