Blessed ---

So today is one of those days where you just stop, think and say a prayer of thanks.
I guess with the weather a little bit warmer it brought my spirits up a few notches. Even though I had to work today AND it IS A MONDAY (yuck), I still have to be thankful for a good job, that I do well at, and provides good benefits.
Like I mentioned, It was warmer today than it has been the past couple of weeks. Usually Brad lets the dogs out when its cold because honestly, I just hate doing it when its cold and Brad is great like that! Today it was a high of 61 degrees so after work we took the dogs out back for a walk around the property. I am so thankful for such a wonderful, supportive husband! We walked and talked about our plans to put a fence in (first we have to get some quotes!!) and it made me think that we are sooo lucky to be here on my parents' land with a beautiful home and plenty of room for the dogs to roam. After our walk we sat on the front porch. I read today's AJC --nothing really interesting -- and Brad ate leftovers for dinner....don't worry, yes, I normally cook for my husband! I just sat there, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying how amazingly quiet it is back here (besides our crazy A** neighbors across the way).
I am blessed with our good health, a loving family, amazing friends and just an all around good life.
I think we should all have days like this here and there. Its so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day responsibilities that can drain every ounce of positive energy out of you. It is important to stop and think and thank the Lord. Although there are things that happen to make life harder we have to remember that those things are put in our lives to make us stronger!
.....you are blessed.
