What a great summer so far!!! Camping trip to Goblin, getaway to St. George, Spiritual rejuvination at Girl's Camp, fun memories made at Family Reunion, warm evenings spent weeding in the gardens (which, yes, I do happen to find enjoyable), motorcycle rides up Hobble Creek Canyon, boating with friends on the lake, and today.... off to Park City, my FAV, for a night with some awesome girls:) And it's only JULY!!!
Okay, so onto the inbetween.
I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself lately.... because, even with all these amazing experiences, life is hard. Olive's continuing to prove that everyday presents new challenges,
Mike may have to go work out of town again, I don't have enough money to buy new carpet, which is a serious issue for me.... and for the most difficult new challenge, we found out last week that Jace has Type 1 Diabetes. It was a tough few days, spent up at Primary Childrens, getting everything under control. But Jace is amazing. He's such a good boy, and is such a trooper. I love that kid so much. It's going to be a hard road ahead, and I have been feeling sorry for myself... which is embarassing to say. He's the one who really has to deal with this, and will continue to deal with this for the rest of his life.
So, I needed to write this post, more for myself, to recognize how lucky I am; how full of good and how beautiful my life is, and honestly, how good life is for most of us.... When I see people around me go through crap, It hurts. But then I remember, we all go through crap, and we all come out of it, eventually. So I need to remember, we'll all get through it, and if we can focus on how blessed we are and the good times, it might make the crap a bit more pleasant:)
