Have you ever felt like things were on the up and up in your life? I am so excited about what took place over the course of the year of 2009, that 2010 can only be better. Two events that took place that makes me appreciate God more and more daily is my marriage to the love of my life and our move into our first new home. I am glad and full of joy that only the man above can supply. My thoughts are not to boast or to increase self, but to thank HIM using words that could never compare to his blessings. There were times in the past when I felt like "hey, I am floating in a bubble." Wishing that something would come along and pop me so that I can truly feel this experience called life. Now I know what it means to live. You have to recognize HIM daily. I can go to HIM anytime, any day. Lord I want to give you a shout out and I hope that someone is blessed by these words. God I truly appreciate you not placing on me more than I can bear. I thank you for all of the lessons that I have learned, am learning, and will learn. I appreciate your LOVE for me. I am glad that you are in my life.

In closing, I want to post a quote that I found online.

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

This is so true, and God I pray that I can think more on this level daily.
