Heaven's Tiny Angels

As I sit here thinking about the up coming holidays, I started to think about what they really mean to me.  For me its not about the gifts, actually I hate shopping, and I don't really need anything, so there is no need for hubby to honestly buy me anything.  For me the holidays are about spending time with my family.  Sitting around the Christmas tree and laughing and talking together.  This past Sunday we decorated for Christmas and I actually had all 3 of my guys helping, my hubby, stepson and son, although distracted by the football game they still helped me, which was a first in a long while.  I enjoyed my time with them so much.  So often we tend to look at the hardships in life instead of our many blessings, so as we enter this holiday season, I would like to reflect on all of the things that I have been blessed with.  I have a husband that loves and adores me, and he makes me feel so complete.  And my son is such an amazing young man.  I still find it hard to believe after 15 years that he's actually mine, my miracle, that I thought I would never be able to have.  Sure I could feel sorry for myself, since I wasn't able to have any more children, but the truth is, I was blessed to have him and so very thankful that he is healthy and happy.  We have had to struggle financially the last few years, this economy has been tough on my hubby's business, but even still we have a beautiful home that we can be thankful for.  And to top it all off we have our own little zoo with 4 dogs and 6 cats, they are all such a joy to have and keep us all so busy.

And then ofcourse to top off my many blessing is my art, reborning has truely been a blessing for me.  Now that Zane is a teenager, mommy isn't needed a whole lot, and yes I miss my little boy needing mommy, but I love seeing him so independent, so my babies keep me busy.  I also enjoy all of the wonderful friends that I have made through my art.  With each baby I create I learn so much, its so much fun to hear the new mommys reaction when their babies arrive home. 

So as we all approach this busy and hectic time of year, take a few moments yourself and reflect on all of the many blessings in your life.

Many Hugs,

Tracy
