I feel so blessed. This year has been incredible. I can't even tell you how much I have learned about life and it is already October. Life sure flies by. I have learned that marriage is hard, but a good one is totally worth the effort. I have discovered how good I have it. Yes, it has taken me a year and a half to figure that out. I am not used to having a good marriage, or for lack of better words, a good husband. I have had to learn, that he is good, and he is not like the others. Yes, I have learned the hard way. But, I do not think there is a better way to learn it having been through what I have in the past. My husband is amazing, patient, and kind. I feel so blessed to have him. And what we have is so good. Not a day goes by that I don't wonder how I got so lucky. He is just so easy to love. I absolutely adore him, and I LOVE being his wife.
I have learned that it is the simple things that make a difference. For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with just being content with my life. I have learned over the last couple months, that it is okay to take it with the punches. Life doesn't have to be perfect all the time. I don't have to be perfect all the time. If there is one thing my husband has taught me, it is that, sometimes, if you just let the little things go, and allow life happen, it will surprise you, and the things you worry about will turn out just fine.
I have learned, once again that the Lord will see us through. These past several months I have been dealing with a lot of different things on my plate. They range from emotional, and physical to spiritual. I have been through the grinder it seems between being in regular physical therapy, and coming home to have the energy to take care of two busy kids, and a hard-working husband. And then still find time for me, and a social life. I have really struggled with this balancing act for several months, and through a lot of prayers and faith, along with trial and error, I can see that, even though I thought it was impossible, I feel as though, the success is finally coming, and so is that balance I so desperately wanted.
Even though not all my entries will start or turn out to be serious, heartfelt with a lesson to be learned at the end, I can take it as a reminder, that it is okay to find joy in the simple things, even if it is a simple blog entry about something a child does. After all, children are one of the greatest blessings we can have in this life. (Especially my children)
Though, I do not have it all figured out, consider this to be my continuing journey to find that place, that balance, with no matter what comes my way. Even if there will be things I have to relearn, there will always be something to learn. And maybe this entry, as my first, is more for me, so that I have it to look back on as I go, when things get hard, and it's hard to see what the Lord is trying to teach me, that I'll have something good to say when all is said and done.
