"What makes you Lucky?"

I have 2 blogs that I read on a regular basis. One is a friend from high school and another is a girl whom I have never met. Although neither of these two have ever met both girls have one thing in common, they both have been badly burned from such a terrifying accident. I read these blogs and usually sob through them. I can't imagine the strength that they must have. As I was reading nienie's blog the other day.....it really hit me. She asked "What makes you Lucky?"
I have been going through (what I think is A LOT but no where near what these two amazing women go through).....that's partly why I feel that I should never complain. But in my quiet moments I have been thinking a lot about my life and how much it is changing right now. So, I began to read her words over and over. It really gave me that gut wrenching, wanna sob even more moment. I look at all that I have been given, all that I have gone through.....and I am so LUCKY! Lucky that I get to wake up (most) mornings with my 3 beautiful children.......that I get to teach my son how to ride his bike down a street that we feel safe on.......where we can walk outside and have people we don't even know say hi and are friendly. I am lucky that I have a mom who has sacrificed so much to help me out right now.
That I have a son who LOVES tractors- and especially the TRACTOR MAN and loves to sing his tractor man song to anyone that will listen. I am lucky to have a grandpa who likes to take my kids under his wings and do so much with them that only "boys" like to do :) I am lucky that my son loves to sit on my lap and rub my arms til he falls asleep....knowing that I will be there when he wakes up. I am lucky to be able to listen to him say "love ya too mama!" (which melts my heart every time) I am lucky that he is two......chasing him keeps me in shape~

I am so very lucky that my little princess loves to dance....even on days that her "arms are tired because she is so tiny". I am so lucky that she giggles and makes me giggle just listening. I am lucky that I get to see her beautiful smile ALL the time! I am lucky that she reminds me that I am the most beautiful mom that she has and that she is gonna listen "no matter what". I am lucky that every time I say to my kids that I love them, that we argue who loves each other more......

I am lucky that no matter how lost I feel, that I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and will show me the way he wants me to go....I am lucky that I live in a country where I can say that.....AND most of all, I am lucky that I have a family who loves me SO MUCH and lots of friends who love me! I am so lucky.......
