Just Getting through the day...

Man...I'm telling you, it has just been a hard week for me. Ok, maybe a hard month! With all the crap that is happening with the sale of our Utah house (when/if the sale ever goes through, I will write about it...but right now I just can't), I feel like I just want to give up for a few days or weeks. Just take a sleeping pill and sleep it all away, and wake up when it's finally over. But, I CAN'T do that...I'm a wife and a mother...people need me! They need me to function, to be 100 % (or close to it). So, I've decided that I just have to get through today...and then tomorrow, I'll get through that day. These things are things that I have no control over...so why do I make myself sick with worry??? Because it's what I do...it's what WE do (me, my mom, my sis, my grandma...yep, I think we can thank my Grandma for the "worrier" in us). So, it's almost 2pm today...I'm more than halfway there...for today!...yipee!

I found a couple of quotes that are helping me through this:

"There are some years in our lives that we would not want to live again. But even these years will pass away, and the lessons learned will be a future blessing."
— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"We are all in this together. We need each other. Oh, how we need each other. Those of us who are old need you who are young, and hopefully, you who are young need some of us who are old...We need deep and satisfying and loyal friendships with each other. These friendships are a necessary source of sustenance. We need to renew our faith every day. We need to lock arms and help build the kingdom so that it will roll forth and fill the whole earth."
— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

just remember this is a second in eternity! Soon it will all pass and you will look back and see the strength you have gained from it!

Remember Faith Not Fear! That has been a tremendous blessing in my life when I put that principle to the test and it became a part of my life.

Whats the saying we laugh at...God doesn't give you anything you can't handle...I just wish he didn't trust me so much. Don't worry so much. It doesn't do any good. If you can fix it do it if you can't let it be for that day. You are the best and so strong. It will get better....remember your blessings. Love ya, be happy!!! Sometimes easier said than done.

You can do it. I just wish I was closer to give you a big hug. So imagine if you can me squeezing you to death, then eating some cinnamon bears. :)
