Struggling

I know we all have struggles, I'm just having more than I want to at the present time.

And just so that I can look back with perspective later on, I'm listing some of the things I'm grateful for right now:

1. I have shelter. (Something my kids remind me of every night when they say prayers.)
2. I have two beautiful children who are the lights of my life.
3. I don't have to get up and go to work anymore.
4. I can now make time to exercise.
5. Craig and I are communicating better than we ever have in our lives.
6. I know others who are struggling with things that I know I personally couldn't handle.
7. I am not alone.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Some day we'll look back on this and laugh."? Right now, I don't think so. But I'm hoping to at least be able to smile.
