Rachel's Getaway

Today is one of those days where I feel so down I don't know how I'll ever get back up. The girls all have RSV and I feel like a failure. Somehow, I let them get sick. I hardly ever take them anywhere and yet, here we are. Brooke is getting worse and I am worried, of course. That's what mother's do.

So as I am feeding Brooke, I'm trying to think what I can possibly be thankful for. I'm NOT thankful for RSV, I'm NOT thankful for NO free time, I'm NOT thankful to have no money. So as those are going through my head, I decided I needed to look at other things because money isn't everything, RSV will pass, and I have a wonderful husband who knows when I need even just a few minutes to myself and sometimes just a few minutes is all I need.

I AM:

thankful for the one on one time with Tyson today when we went to buy a humidifier.

thankful for my mother-in-law who is always the first to offer help.

thankful for my babies and their healing smiles, even when they are sick.

thankful for the atonement.

thankful for forgiveness.

thankful for my eternal family.

thankful for my husband who helps even though he already has so much on his plate.

thankful for prayer.

Sometimes prayer is the only thing I have to get me through a rough day.
