Gratitude

I just want to express my gratitude for all the wonderful people in my life. I feel sometimes like I just can't do all of this... you know, school, kids schedules, homework for everyone, food, tidying up, laundry, groceries, church assignments, showering, etc., etc., etc. And there are times when I whine like a big baby about all I have going on. I imagine most people would say, or should say "You chose this. Get over it". But they don't, not to my face anyway. They just send me kind words, ask about how I'm handling it all, offer to be my new housekeeper, allow my kids to stay at their house a couple of days a week while I'm trying to get home from school, fill in as a surrogate grandma on grandparents day when the real grandma's couldn't be there, volunteer to bring dinner, give endless rides home to the kids when I can't make it on time, hang out in jammies and watch mindless tv for the night because I just can't think anymore, study with me, and just show one kindness after another without complaint. My heart is so full. I don't deserve to have so many nice people in my life but I am indeed very, very grateful for all the support I get. It is sometimes so much easier to feel sorry for oneself, but it is not possible to feel that way for very long when you are grateful. I love all my dear family and friends!!!
