Ouch. It has been a year, an entire year, since I last posted. I think about my blog sometimes, then feel a little sheepish, a little ashamed, then do nothing. Today is different, though. Today, I thought about this neglected, sad blog of mine and logged in to write a new post. Here goes...
Today, I am grateful for love. I am grateful that Landon loves me enough to look past my many shortcomings, forgive my many mistakes, and support me through the thick and thin. I am grateful that my children love me even though I can be a terrible, mean mom and even though I yell way too much. I am grateful for the love of my siblings, every single one of whom would do pretty much anything for me. I am grateful for the love of my family by marriage, and their acceptance of me as truly one of their own. I am grateful for the love of my parents, their unwavering support, and acceptance of my many quirks and obnoxiousness. And I am overwhelmed with gratitude for my own capacity for love. It amazes me how full your heart can feel, then someone/something else comes along, and your heart finds more room for love. It's a true blessing.
