13 reasons I am glad to be alive

1. My boys, the Oldest and the Littlest. They are my joy. They are my heart. I will protect them to the death, forever.

2. This world, believe it or not, is a beautiful place. I love to take in it's beauty. It's everywhere.

3. To help others who might need it, makes me feel really good when I help someone. Gives purpose to my soul.

4. I'm glad to be alive now, right this minute, because I am in a fantastic place with my husband. It has taken us all this time to really come to this perfect place. It feels good. Well you know, perfect as it can be. :) I recognize that.

5. I look to the future and I know what my purpose is. Without a doubt. Makes me want to conquer the world (whoa hold on there missy, slow it down!). :)

6. I love to capture moments in time. With a camera and pictures. Something about it fills me up.

7. My belief in God. Even through all the awful things in the past, and the anger I have felt, I know it must mean something. My trust in Him supercedes all. It's a good thing.

8. Wow these are hard.

9. Wait I think I just cheated. :)

10. Back on track now. To enjoy my family. My mother and sisters and my Dad and everyone else. I love them all so much.

11. Glad to be alive because I think this world of ours is at a great time. Even with all the doom and gloom, to think we are living in this moment and that it will be history one day, that I voted and learned along the way, that I have a voice, a say in our country, it's very cool.

12. I love figuring out who I am. I have changed and I know it, so it's a constant journey. It's a journey I'm glad to be on. I'm glad I didn't take the easy road when my son died. This is much much better.

13. Because I know and have said before that we only get this one chance, and I so believe it, we only get this one chance to try to get it right. I'm happy to give it my best shot, live with happiness, respect for others, and a kind eye to my surroundings. It's big picture, but it's true.

Your turn. It's HARD!
