Thank you for a wonderful post. It is hard to keep perspective in difficult times, but you seem to be keeping it-and this is especially true when going through hard times and still trying to educate your children too.

One homeschooler to another… keep up the good work, I’m sure everything will work out for you.

I have a t-shirt that states “be in gratitude” across the front. A simple statement for sure, but one that spoke to me after a particularly crappy year. I think it is a reminder that we all need occasionally.

Tammy, you did a fantastic job of reminding us all to be grateful for every day abundance!

Thank you to everyone that has left a comment! I am thrilled that my first attempt at posting on a blog was met with positive feedback. Your words have lifted me up and I have added them to my list of blessings! Again, thank you so much!

Tammy~
It was so refreshing to see your list of blessings. It is so easy to let yourself get lost in all of the negative in your life instead of focusing on the positive. After reading your message, Blake and I sat down and discussed how important remembering all of our blessings really is.

Thanks, Tammy for sharing with us. I remember one particularly difficult time in my life (we had just lost a 2 1/2 year old daughter in an accident, the baby I was carrying, and almost me). My 5 year old started the “blessing game.” She would say a blessing and then I would. Over the past 27 years the “blessing game” has saved my life so many times and helped me focus on the positive. Life can be difficult, but we truly can find “calm” amidst the storms. God is always there and the “rainbows” do not appear until after the “storms.”

I don’t know how you ladies do it! We were just discussing this very topic at work yesterday. It seems as if everyone I know has been going through some trial or another for the past year or so. Tammy, your list made me laugh and cry because it is so very true. We are all blessed in some way and you don’t have to look hard to find those blessings. Thank you for such an inspirational article.
