I’m a little emotional this morning, and I’m pretty sure it’s not my hormones!  I am feeling so blessed today.  This morning has not gone as I planned…I missed a workout because my youngest was up SUPER early AGAIN.  But there’s something about just spending those sweet moments with your children that make you reflect on your life in general. 

Yesterday was my first real attempt at testing out my new “business.”  My friends and I worked SO hard to get ready, but sometimes even with the most effort things don’t always turn out as you had planned.  I was so exhausted physically and emotionally last night that I went to bed early (I even missed Brothers and Sisters…I NEVER do that!), and I felt a little defeated.  This morning I woke up way before my alarm, frustrated yet again…until I took a minute to think about what I was so upset about.  Yesterday was a GREAT day.  It is a start to a new beginning.   A scripture came to mind, Lamentations 3:23:  “They are new every morning;  great is your faithfulness….The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.”    These past few years I have had to lean on the Lord a lot, but he is always faithful.  Things take time and if it doesn’t work out, it’s not the end of the world.  I started thinking about all the truly wonderful things that have been taking place in my life.  Not only do I have a wonderful family, who have the privilege of living in a wonderful “land of the free,” but I have the most wonderful friends.  God has sent me an awesome support system.  They play different roles, which is the most amazing part (and some have multiple roles).  There are six very special women that I rely on consistently.  Some are motivators, some are givers/helpers, some have unique skills and some are just there to listen when I need them.  So, yes everything takes time, but along this road I have been BLESSED!

***I will try to get some pictures up today from the Launch Party.  We didn’t have a great turn out but at least we looked good! 😉 ***
