Throwback Thursday

 

                           Everyday is a brand new day, everyday is a journey.

  I've never been good at joining a support group. Just not my kind of thing. I am a problem solver or at least, I like to improve my lot in life. So it's very difficult for me to sit in a group and talk about feelings week after week. It's not me. That doesn't mean I don't believe in support groups. I believe everyone has their own ways going through trials. Everyone needs to do  what works for them. I write through mine.

Below is a post from a few years back. To this day, my kids tease me about my jealousy with my grandkids and other people. It just proves that you don't need blood to love a child. I can love all children and I love these two very much. I don't care what color they are or where they came from. They are mine.

 

A Sort Of An Update

I've seen better days ,
but I've also seen worse .
I don't have everything that I want , 
but I do have all I need . 
I woke up with some aches and pains ,
but I woke up . 
My life may not be perfect , 
but I am Blessed . 

I've joined a chronic illness group at church. We've only met a few times since we all are sick most of the time. I've never been one to sit in a circle and get all touchy feelly with my emotions especially when it came to the crying part. I deal with situations a little differently. I may have a pity party going on for a couple of days, but I always pick myself up regardless of how I feel mentally. I may have a difficult time accepting how much weight I have gained, but I move on with it. I can't take a "woe is me" kind of 
attitude. 

Spending time with children 
is more important than 
spending money on children . 

I have to be honest with you . . . . . I have been experiencing great jealousy regarding my grandkids. This year, we just haven't been able to get together as much as we normally do . . . . hence the jealousy of everyone else who had the opportunity to do so. 

One day, while flicking through Facebook, I encountered a picture of my grandchildren posing with Aubrey's dad and his wife. Here they were smiling and hugging my kids  . . . . and these kids were loving it. I turned to Emily  and said:

"Who are these people with my babies?!" 
"Those are the real grandparents, mom."

And how was your week? Have a Blessed day everyone.
