To my two faithful readers,
Please do not stop reading me even though I've taken a hiatus from blogland and probably will not return until after the New year. Things are a little touch right now (can't complain too much though because I know a lot are in far worse situations with this economy). Danny still hasn't found a job and his unemployment ended about a month ago so things are really tight. He does have a couple of good looking prospects though which we're hopeful about. Anyways on to the gratitude...
This Christmas and holiday season could be a lot worse for us but we are so very blessed to have many angels among us. First of all my dear mom who has sacrificed and given us so much. Second our beloved bishop who is so kind to us and helped us so much. And thirdly to a wonderful elderly couple who gave us money for the kids Christmas. And ofcourse there are other angels who have helped us so much in the past. We are so blessed and I am so humbled by all we've received. I am so thankeful for all the wonderful, positive people in my life that help to lift me up when I am down and inspire me when I am uninspired. I am so thankeful that I have the three most beautiful, perfect, healthy kids on the earth and a husband who is a wonderful man who continues to become better all the time. I am thankeful that I live in this great country that allows me the freedom to worship my Beloved Savior without persecution. I am thankeful I can go to bed each night in a warm bed with a full stomach. The list could go on and on but I'm sure you get the point ;)
At the Christmas season I hope we can all have, as the beloved President of my church says, an "Attitude of Gratitude".
I have missed blogging and the friendships there and the closeness of other women who "get" it. I hope I can come back in the New year with some more positive feelings to reflect on my blog. Love to all!
This is a busy time of year. A break is understandable. I hope that things go well with you.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand the whole break thing as I took one for a while too. Tylaine, I admire you in so many ways for clinging to an attitude of gratitude through tough times. Hang in there, friend.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do come back Chica! Praying for you and your husband's job situation.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about you the other day and wondered where you had been. I understand that you need a break and some time away is good. No pressure here, but the blog is an outlet whether or not anyone is listening, but you should know there are those of us who will be there when you're ready to come back. Take care, have a blessed and Merry Christmas and I hope the New Year will bring great things for you and your family. your bloggy friend
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying a job comes through as a wonderful Christmas gift! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!
ReplyDeleteUgh! I'm so sorry! Even though my husband hasn't lost his job I can understand where you are coming from! Things are tight over here, too, and I'm not quite sure how Christmas will happen around here, I'm hopeful, though.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how difficult it would be to be going through this right now but I know the Lord is with you and you can get through it. Be strong! :)
I hope Danny gets the job he's looking for! Take a break. It sounds like you certainly desreve one! I love that you are staying focused on your blessings through a tough time.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of us can completely understand the need to take a break from blogging, esp at this time of year! Enjoy the holiday with your family and can't wait to see you again after the new year!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the job prospects for your husband turn out!!!
I'm sorry I have been missing around here and haven't been around to the blogs. You are such a sweet friend Tylaine and I'm so glad we met thru our blogs. You have wonderful people surrounding you. You are being taken care of and that is wonderful. The Lord is watching out for us. Love you!
