Life is hard. So much humanness to have to wade through. Life was much easier as an angel, up in heaven. I am thinking that the UPS and downs of life are inevitable. It's easy to want to ignore the bad when keeping a gratitude journal. I think though that it's important to recognize the bad AND be grateful for the bad... For the lessons and for the chance to come down here and learn.
1. For sleeping a full 8 hours and getting another nap in today!
2. Chicken for lunch and a yummy sub sandwich for dinner.
3. Figuring out a game plan for josh to study his ACT. 6-10 on days he's home. The rest of the day is free to other things. Spending time with us.
4. Josh going into the doctor to begin his ADHD medicine process. We were prompted through friends at church. The husband has almost the same issues as Josh with lack of focus and daydreaming etc. Good advice given to us that when you need to support a family medicine is extremely helpful and helps lift the burden so to speak. I think there is a reason she mentioned it especially before Josh goes to nursing school.
5. Isabel saying the word "no" like 5 times in a row according to Josh. She's been pushing boundaries more lately and we've had to establish them more. Like throwing food on the ground when we told her not to. She will keep doing it.
6. Promoting that I need to pray over how to teach Isabel and how to discipline her. Maybe ask what am I doing wrong, or how can I help encourage her to eat a variety of foods without forcing it on her. Establishing good habits early.
7. Family home evening. Printing off ten commandments visual for Isabel, even tho she didn't pay much attention. And our fhe learning about how to receive a remission of sins and helping josh learn too.
8. Josh's helping hands. I can't thank him enough for all he does to help lift my burdens with Isabel. I've been feeling so tired and weak lately. He is always quick to change her diaper or help out.
9. Perfect weather. Light breeze. Open windows.
10. The song "angel" sung by David archuleta.
Things I love about my daughter isabel:
