Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

When Great Things Seem Small...

Life is so challenging and hard and just plain no fun at times! There are new challenges at work, ongoing problems with Luke's health, and so many other truly small things that add up to seemingly overwhelming big problems! The truly great things in my life can seem suddenly small and insignificant.

So because as Luke says, "life is good", I am going to review some of the small things that make my life great:

1) Because of my work schedule, I can get out in the mornings to enjoy the fresh air and a magnificent view!



And this is just one of many. Every day is new and beautiful in its own way, and I am blessed to have a front row seat.

2) My yard/garden- I may not yet successfully grow veg- but I sure seem to be able to grow bushes, trees, and flowers!





3) Food- I love to cook! And nothing is so great as making Luke something he loves to eat like garim masala or stuffed zucchini!



4) My job! I work with the most amazing people who are all trying so hard to make a positive difference in the life of EVERY student! I could not ask for a better work environment!

And I think the list could continue for A VERY LONG TIME!!!

The thing for me is to remember that this list consists of things, though small to others, that are great to me.
