Joy

This blog is a place for me to get it all out. To be honest, I'm not great at talking about my emotions. It's much easier for me to write it. So, this blog is therapy for me. This is where I get out most of my negative feelings. However, I don't want to come across as a miserable person, because I'm not. I smile more than I cry. I have a lot of joy in my life and a lot to be thankful for.

I have an amazing husband who shows me I'm loved every day and can always make me laugh. I have a precious daughter who brings me so much joy and has taught me the meaning of unconditional love. I have the most awesome group of friends a girl could ask for. I have a crazy, huge family that I love. I belong to the most wonderful church family. I have a roof over my head, money for groceries, and a job that I like (most of the time) with great coworkers. I'm very blessed, I recognize that, and I am thankful.

Life isn't always easy and great (contrary to what my Facebook news feed would have me believe.) We all experience pain and heartache. We all struggle from time to time. If there was never any rain, would we really appreciate the sunshine?
