I was just having a conversation with my cousin... wishing him a happy birthday. We were talking about how things were going and he said " Have you ever heard the quote 'I am looking down the road, but all I can see is road' ?" I had to laugh and then commiserate, 'cause that is exactely how I am feeling right now.
I want to look down the road and to a brighter future, but all I can see is the road I am on... so I guess the key is to look for the beauty along the way and maybe get lucky and find a great detour.
The beauty along my way is my family. Both extended and immediate. I really have been blessed with the best there is. They are my support system and never fail to be there for me. Also my faith in a loving Heavenly Father. Even though I have not figured out what His plan is for me or even really how to hear Him tell me what it is, I have faith that He is there and trying to help me figure that out. My kids that give me a reason to smile and give hugs and love... and yes, drive me crazy, but one out of so much more isn't worth dwelling on!! ;) They are the reason I keep walking the road. And of course my husband who is right beside me. He really is a good guy, one of the best. He is such a hard worker and wants to take care of everyone and everything. His load is heavy all the time and I am doing what I can to lighten it a little. And last, but not least... good friends. The kind who know you and love you anyway!! I am sorry to say that I have lost a friend or two along the way - but the one's I have kept and who keep me are the best there is!
2009 was a crazy year full of ups and downs and downs and little rises, but I do look forward to a better and brighter 2010! I have no idea what the next year holds - no idea what we will be doing in the next 6 months or even maybe the next month, but what I do know is, I have some fabulous people to walk beside me and give me lots of love and support and I know that however things turn out... all is well.

You are amazing to me. I had a friend mention to me the other day that she hates the word "endure". Well I think you are the perfect example of enduring! I love you! Keep enduring, some day all of your dreams will be realized! Congrats to Greg on a return engagement in Feb. on Good Things Utah!
Julie... I hate that word too! But thanks for the encouragement!! I always think of Linda saying "do I have a choice?" When it really comes down to it... if you believe in the gospel - you have no choice but to endure.
Sheri Great post!!! You have a wonderful attitude. I am missing seeing all those puppies out my back window.
