looking UP!!!

did you know?
that you have to use 3 colors when you paint your toenails?
exactly 3.
not 2. not 4.
3. :-)

life with this 3 year old is never quiet or dull or lacking smiles!

things are really looking up.
i'm much better.
i hate to admit how much of it was hormonal. (i thought "it" was starting back up 2 months ago...but no...this week for real. whew. that threw me for a loopdy loop! ummm..hi! 20 months later!!!)
but there's also been some real stuff going on.
and not to mention that it rained for like 9 days straight.
anyways, my hormones are much more stable.
some real stuff has been dealt with (or handed over to the only One that can truly deal with it).
and the sun is out, the windows are open and there is a blue sky!
can you see it?!?
is it sad how excited that gets me?

busy weekend ahead.
but, right now, i'm focusing on where i've been this week...the low points and the high points.
and, you know what?
i'm just rejoicing in the fact that even in the darkest, hardest moments...i was not alone. my Savior was there...holding my hand...whispering the things i needed to hear (whether i wanted to or not)...His truth was steady...sometimes my emotion overrode that Truth...and sometimes it didn't...and i'm not proud of those ugly moments....but i am so thankful for Him and His mercy and forgiveness and justice and love (toughness and all!)

So happy things are getting better.
After the bad, the good feels even better doesn't it? Hope you have a very happy Mother's Day.
