Counting blessings!

I am so grateful to my friends! I rely on them for so much. They are the ones who save me from falling into depression and feeling overwhelmed on a regular basis. I have several friends who are in great marriages. They are the ones I use as examples when I talk to my kids about relationships. I am more than blessed to have them invite my family to their homes, where my boys can see how a loving, caring man acts toward his wife and kids. It gives me hope that I won't be raising two more men who don't know how to love anyone other than themselves. Thank you. I pray that one day I will find a man like that and be a part of a partnership in life. Until then, please keep inviting us. I need you!

I have wonderful Rabbis in my life who guide and teach me and my children. One who saved the day yesterday, reminded me how important it is to just have some fun and being able to say "yes" is just as important as it is to say "no." What a blessing! Thank you, my learned friends, for reminding me of what I already know and teaching me new ways to get through each day with a closer connection to our Creator.

My boys are also so precious to me. Their laughter, smiles, jokes and general happiness can relieve any bad mood that may have come over me. When I wonder why I make myself crazy with all the things going on in my life, all I have to do to feel rejuvenated and able to take on the world again is find a way to make them really laugh. Then all is good in the world again!
