Happy. Ecstatic. Blessed. Wow. None of these words can express how I am feeling right at this very moment. 2013, off to a great start! First, I have to brag on my hubs a bit... I am so proud of him, let me just say, so proud. At the end of last year, he attempted a career change to sacrifice what he loves doing to be home with me each night. So unbelievably thankful for this. And while it did not work out, many blessings have evolved from this transition.
Blessing 1: A New Job Opportunity! Yes, my husband is starting a new job today, that offers the schedule we have been hoping for for years. Thanks God! While it is still in the offshore industry, there is so much more growth and opportunity here! A schedule that offers time for us to be together more and apart less. A schedule that allows us to be able for the first time to contemplate starting a family. A schedule that allows us happiness...
Blessing 2: A New Spark! Being apart from Danny since before we were married, made us strong. I love the butterflies I get knowing he is coming home and seeing him for the first time after a few weeks/months. I was so afraid with the transition that we would take for granted our time together, meanwhile losing that excitement. And the blessing is that we grew so much more closer then we would've imagined during these last few months. The hardships with the transition and the faith trials were blessings in disguise. Its hard to explain in words, but it definitely has redefined us! Thanks God!
Blessing 3: Time. I feel like time is a precious gift. While it is always constant, some days go by in an instant, and others drag on and on. It is puzzling how that works! HA! You can never get time lost back, and you can't erase or jump ahead, these are all facts we know. But truly it is a gift- how we spend our time, who we spend it with, truly a gift. It has become evident to me that spending time with those close to me is my utmost goal. Spending my time focusing and caring about others and less about me will be the greatest blessing. Making memories with family and friends, sounds like a great way to spend my time! This will be truly clear when Danny will be off work for a month at a time! time= work less < friends/family more
I am not responsible for any of these blessings, I am thankful to God who is ultimately responsible. I definitely deal with struggles but am on a mission, to be more positive, more focused and to define my purpose. This is a start and today is a happy day for sure <3 p="">
