This Week I Am Grateful For~ New Beginnings!
I have been excited for a fresh start! A new chance to make new friends, a sparkling clean house (who doesn't love that!), and a new commitment we as a family have made.
We took this move as a opportunity to make some changes for the better in our lives. Tony and I have been feeling as if these kids are growing up so dang fast. And we aren't taking the time to enjoy it. And be in the moment. And be the kind of parents we need to be. And to just chill! We have realized time is short. So we decided to make the changes we need to in order to find peace in our home! It feels good. We went to church yesterday and although I felt uncomfortable with being around new people, they were very kind and I felt a little excitement at knowing that we were going to try to throw ourselves into this ward. And be active, and serve, and try to do better. Last night it was Zachary that came in to round everyone up and remind us that we needed to have family prayer before bed.See.. he does have redeeming qualities ! And today I have been cleaning, and doing laundry, and I cooked a yummy meal. And everyone was so sweet tonight. It feels peaceful this evening. I have been able to chill out a little tonight thanks to everyone pitching in. I am hormonal today and these older ones are teasing me about it but they are helping out and being kind. I feel really optimistic! Funny how my feelings about these things change day to day(hour by hour??) but that is life I think. I do feel like we have been given a new beginning to really change the tone in our home and for that I am very grateful!

Yay for new beginnings! What a great blessing. Keep being optimistic!! Such a great blessing I wouldn't have thought about. Sometimes a new start is just what a family needs.
Isn't it funny how our mood changes from moment to moment? I will find myself being happy one moment and confused the next. I hear what you are saying. I hope that this move is just what you needed. Sometimes a fresh start and a new step puts things in perspective. I find myself needing to chill and just enjoy life. I let the little things bug me, when really they don't matter. Big picture my friend. That is the important thing.
I love change! Sometimes it seems a little scary but usually the result is awesome. It won't always be perfect, but I'm glad you had a great day and the kids were happy. Sometimes, I have days in which I am so happy and others when I feel like total crap. It's the nature of the beast but I think its what makes life fun!
I really think this new house, schools, ward etc. is just what you need. Just put a little faith into action and see what happens.
awesome blessing! i totally agree! sounds like things are starting out great with your new beginning.
I love change. I love the feel of brand new, endless possibilities. I love leaving behind all the messes and mistakes I've made. There is nothing better than starting over! I'm sure there's a gospel message in there somewhere.
Sometimes it's nice to get a fresh start! Good luck in your new beginnings!
It is always good to have something come along that gives you a kick in the butt. I wish that I could always be motivated, but I am grateful when something comes along that gets me revved up again. Good luck with all of the changes. I am sure you will be blessed for all of the hard work.
I wish you all the best in everything new! Blessings!
