Hello Everyone!!
I am starting my own BLOG today, you know trying to fit in with all of the current technology. I figured I could keep my friends and family up to speed with my family, life and experiences on a daily basis (hopefully).
Lets see I am 31 (for family that might have forgotten) I have 2 beautiful girls and a bonus daughter also, Ages 14,13 & 6. I live in the most out woods city in the state of Alabama, BEULAH. Oh, Almost forgot I am married also it will be 10 years in August.
As I sit here today thinking about life and all of our family that has been so sick, you just start to think about your own children and husband and it kind of puts a reality on things and the important things in your life. I dont mean to start my first blog page on a sour or depressing note, however everyday is a blessing and we need to make sure we use it as such. Just for your knowledge my mother in law passed in April. Now my husbands grandfather has lung and brain cancer and is not doing so well and my husbands brother in law is terminally ill with a long named kind of leukemia, he is in Emory right now and has only about 3 months is what Dee (Chances sister) is saying. Dee and Darrell have a daughter named Katherine and she just turned 5 this month. My heart just goes out to them right now Katherine is so young and my heart just aches for her. Also on Monday we found out that my grandfather in Illinois has lung, kidney and back cancer. I can not be with him because he is so far away and that really hurts when you feel helpless.
I could not sleep last night just thinking of all of this and the people that is being effected. Just as you go through your day remember these things:
Be Blessed
Hug Your kids and tell them you love them
Do the same for your spouse (even if he is getting on your last nerve today)
Say a prayer
Thank God for everything that he has given you.
Again, I am sorry for starting my day with a depressing note, Happy blogs will come soon.

Amy,
I am so glad that I checked my e-mail and read this. I have been sitting here tonight (like I do a lot of nights) feeling sorry for myself, resentful and jelouse of so many things that I don't have or have to do, or can't have. Reading this has made me realize that whatever I have going on doesn't really compare to the loss or heartache that some people have in thier lives. I find myself feeling so left out and withdrawn from a lot of things and people and feel as if I don't have time to enjoy anything because I work so much. I should be thatnkfull that I have been blessed with enough work to get by. Now reading this makes me relize that some of the things that I call "burdens" can also be called blessings. I will pray for your family. Thank you!!
