Blessed!

My bags are packed and we are set to leave EARLY Saturday morning for the Alaskan Cruise. Our flight leaves at 5:30am, which means I will need to get up somewhere around 2am!!! I know that I will miss my 2 little monkeys and their daddy but, also know that I will have an amazing time. A side note is that something that I have been thinking about for a while now and have to put it down. I have been feeling more and more grateful everyday about my life. I am surrounded by people who are going through tough times with work, relationships, children, health, etc. and it has really opened my eyes to how blessed I am. It really hit me this morning when I was in the bathroom and when a silly little two year old took off with the roll of toilet paper and I had to laugh. Why get mad or upset?... she is two and as happy and healthy as she can be. I know that tomorrow it can all change but, for all of the blessings in my life today... I am grateful!!!
