Gratitude

Last night I had the opportunity to hang out with two of my favorite moms.... These women are such amazing examples to me they are so strong and loving and I never see them complain for one second about the trials that come with being a mom. For that I am extremely grateful... I have had a really rough last six weeks I do ok for a day or two and then I have a melt down.... These melt downs are usually triggered by seeing a mother with her child born or unborn and the love I see between them that I long for or seeing/hearing a mother complain about their child.... I am so grateful for my sweet friends that are mothers who never complain about the tasks and trials that come with being a mom I know it is a challenge and not always easy and I give you props for never saying anything negative about the sweet children you are blessed with.... As some of you know my sweet sister is a week ahead of where my pregnancy would have been and this has been a challenge at times but she has been such a huge rock in my life I know she has been so exhausted having two older children who run her ragged and I know she hasn't felt the best, but not once have I heard my loving sister complain about the little blessing she is carrying... I have recently seen/heard so many pregnant women composing about different things in their pregnancy heartburn, nausea, exhaustion, sex of the baby, mood swings,  stretch marks, being uncomfortable, and unfortunately even complaing about not wanting the baby and the inconvince of having a baby at this time... I would gladly take any of these women's places I will gladly take every ache pain and misery and I will be thrilled and happy about every single one of them... When you've gone through infertility/a miscarriage your heart breaks every time you hear someone is pregnant and then when you hear one of them complain it is like the knife that was stabbed into your heart when you heard they were pregnant is pulled out and they dump a ton of salt on that fresh wound... I just want to thank all my sweet friends moms/pregnant moms who are my rocks and never complain about the blessing and joy of their children even when it is trying... I know there are times everyone breaks down and needs to complain about life I know I am guilty of this but I am trying to change this because the things I am complaing about someone else out there is longing for that very thing I am complaining about and I need to be grateful for those blessings and show my gratitude for the blessings in my life... I struggle every day with the miscarriage of our child and I know many others who have struggled with the loss of a baby at any given age from conception to a grown child... Loosing a child no matter what age is the hardest thing a mother has to face with her children... I am grateful for the strength I have found with my Heavenly Father during these difficult times... And the love and support my friends and family have shown me... And the amazing mothers I have the opportunity to have in my life... Remember no matter what the trial you are facing  wether it be a small home and wanting a larger one, trials in your relationship/marriage, your job, your kids, there is somebody out there who wants a home no matter the size so they aren't sleeping out in the cold homeless, somebody who wishes they had a significant other to share their life with, somebody who wishes they could find work no matter what the job, and somebody who has cried countless tears to hear the words momma or dadda come out of your sweet child's mouth... We need more positivity in the world so I am going to start with me and work on complaing about the things I am taking for granted.... Love you all....
