Hopeful

It's barely into the second week of 2013 and so much is going on.  Good things are happening, mainly at work.  I'm hoping it's a sign that 2013 is going to be a great year!

I appreciate everything I have in my life on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis.  I feel overwhelmed sometimes with how grateful I am for my husband and our life.

Mentally/emotionally I feel like I really turned a corner once I made the decision to no longer let our infertility challenges dictate my life.  After weeks of making a conscious effort to be appreciative, grateful, positive and surrender to this instead of fight it I really can see how all of it has been a blessing to us.  It only took me almost 3 years.  This last year especially, I've learned the true meaning of the prayer/saying "God, have mercy on me."

I do feel like we are all here to learn life lessons.  We're here to have challenges that help us grow into better versions of current selves.  Sometimes bad things happen so that we can change our ways, become better people.  I'm open to whatever lies ahead of me and I'm just hoping it's more good stuff coming my way.
