Another birthday...

...for my little girl.

Today my Hannah Mary
turns 9 years old.


I never thought I would ever see
such a wonderful time in my life.



The joy that our children bring to me and The Accountant
is overwhelming and immense.


There are days when life is handing me a blow and all
I need to do is look into their eyes.



All problems seem to melt away!

These past few weeks have been a little trying for me.




I suffer from depression and an autoimmune disorder which
after much testing, we still can not define.

So in trying to balance my mental heatlh and my physical health
I am hitting many bumps along the way.

It is nothing I can't handle...because I know what I need to do and
I have the courage to confront it.



Our kids are nothing short of a miracle, as all children are.



It's worth the fight to battle forth and fight for the
right to enjoy each moment we have
together.

What I thought was going to be a sad and mysterious post about depression has taken a turn.
Looking through these pictures from Friday at the Zoo I no longer
feel down or confused.

I know what is important again...I am brought to center by the love
I have from my children and my husband.

 



What is important in life?




LOVE!
ENJOY IT TO ITS FULLEST
