Positive.

I'm trying to be more positive and just embrace everything that's good in my life. I want to enjoy Cole more, especially since he could end up being our only kid now. I don't want to look back at his toddler years and not remember them because I was so caught up in wanting another kid or stressing about money or our house or work. Even more importantly, I want him to remember the fun things we do, and not remember his mom as always on the laptop, or just not engaged in things. So I'm going to try to not be so negative. I refuse to be that person though who will insist it's sunny and great out when it's pouring rain. I just want to try to stop being that person who insists the sky is falling just because it's raining. :)

So here are my positives...

I have an absolutely outstanding husband. He works long days to pay our bills and keep everything running smoothly. Then he comes home and works on the never-ending list of projects, plays with Cole, runs errands, and does other chores for me if I am not feeling well. He's pretty much the best ever.

I was blessed with an absolutely adorable, funny, spirited toddler who loves his mama. With all the complications I had during his pregnancy, it truly is a miracle he is here, and is relatively healthy. Things could be so much worse with how bad things were during the pregnancy! He is smart, energetic, sweet, loving, and I love him to bits, even when he's naughty. He'll make an excellent big brother if he ever gets the chance. :)

We have a home. That in itself is a luxury so many others don't have and I am very grateful we have our own place.

We have great families that live (mostly) nearby and who love us. Cole is spoiled rotten, and Jeff and I get our fair share of spoiling ourselves.

We have a great church. I sometimes feel isolated because it's large and everyone else seems more established there already in their roles, relationships, and lives in general, but it really is a great church. I think I will like it even more the longer we're there.
