In a way I'm thankful for both the happy, as well as the hard, times I've been through, cause it has made me the one I am today.<BR/>Hope the days you manage to be happy will be a lot more than the days you don't!Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778812829110745755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535095.post-69858329479889994352009-01-24T11:14:00.000-08:002009-01-24T11:14:00.000-08:00Hi!

I wanted to say THANK YOU for being positive and honest at the same time. <BR/>I lost my mom to cancer in 2005 and I am with you on the emotional upheaval that you go through. I also get the "anger towards God" feeling. I wallowed around in feeling sad and sorry for myself until one day I realized that the only way that I could hope to feel better is to CHOOSE to feel that way.<BR/>Granted, every day is not always fun and sunshine-y, but it is so much better when you stay positive.<BR/>Thanks for sharing your heart!!<BR/>HeatherThe Lord Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02901024620912986216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535095.post-23111451267942523812009-01-24T09:05:00.000-08:002009-01-24T09:05:00.000-08:00I read your blog since december 2008 and what I lo...I read your blog since december 2008 and what I love is your happiness and your happy way of life...<BR/>Your layouts are funny and amazing...<BR/>I'm agree with your choice!! and I live like you...in the moment present and I try to enjoy each day!!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this positive attitude : -)))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535095.post-69556012537461354242009-01-24T07:37:00.000-08:002009-01-24T07:37:00.000-08:00Maybe 30+ years ago, I bought a book called "Happi...Maybe 30+ years ago, I bought a book called "Happiness is a Choice". It had to do with people who were enablers and getting sucked in. It's kind of been my motto all these years, although it isn't always easy. Sometimes, like with Todd and your Mom, things are SO big, and you can't shake them. I think you have to ride those storms, and that is when there are only one pair of footprints in the sand, kwim?<BR/><BR/>Love the sock monkey calendar. I saw some sock monkey slippers before Christmas and I showed my boys (at Target). I told them that they needed to call their older brother to get them for me. That was all I wanted. I tried them on and gave them the correct size even. They forgot!! Oh well! Maybe next year!

It's the hard times that draw me closer to Him..reading His Words and calling out to Him in prayer. I started my blog because of a 'not so great' situation that began last March..I found that I was becoming more and more negative. My blog forces me to focus on positive things to 'talk' about..who needs to read more negative stuff, right? So, like you, my life is not all sunshine and roses, but one thing I cling to..God is good, all the time! Have a great weekend!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07387284611336482267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535095.post-51018205788832461362009-01-23T18:27:00.000-08:002009-01-23T18:27:00.000-08:00Wow, I had no idea you and Todd had been through s...Wow, I had no idea you and Todd had been through so much in a short amount of time. Hey, I know how it feels!<BR/><BR/>I agree that it takes some effort to be happy, but it's well worth it.
