Living with Gratitude

Over the last year and a half I have been focusing on just being grateful. This has changed the whole way I look at life.  Life is hard and there are plenty of moments not to be grateful for but when I am frustrated or grumpy I take a moment and remember all the goodness and it is easier to let go of the things I cannot control.  The funny thing about living with gratitude is I am even grateful for all the hard times, without them my life wouldn't be what it is today. Without the hurt and the mistakes I am not sure I would be the same person.

Oh and christmas was great! This is the first year that Elijah and Isaac were both excited for christmas morning! They woke up at 3 a.m, luckily we got them to go back to sleep until 7:30. 

Now Isaac is asking when the next holiday is. 

Merry Christmas Eve

I am amazed at how much goodness we have in our lives. 

And I am grateful for everything I have been given!
