I spend a lot of time on this blog lamenting the various plights I find myself in, but I just want you to know that I realize I am very, very blessed. My children are healthy and thriving, I am married to a man who understands me, I have everything I need, and my life is full of joy. 

Yes … there are problems. There are horrible days and outstanding bills and our house in Alabama has not sold yet. I have orange hair. Bad things happen. But it’s easy to keep going when you have people in your life who love you. So for that, I am thankful.
