ups and DOWNS . . .
Has life ever thrown so much at you that you don't know how much more you can handle? There are all these little things and some are big things affecting my life right now. It's one of those times where it's hard to keep my head up, my spirits high, a smile on my face. And then I read blogs. Odd? Not to me. I started reading the NieNie dialogues when she was on Oprah or else KSL news, not sure which. But she was in a plane crash and has burns over 80% of her body. Yet she gets up every day, she is a mom everyday. She is still recoverying and has surgeries and treatments ahead of her and she still gets up. While reading that blog I have stumbled upon others. One is by a woman named Molly. Her 2 year old daughter died after choking on an apple, at church! She too gets up, she too is still a mother, she still chooses to live. So in my dark time, when my heart is hurting, when my burdens feel extra heavy, I too will get out of bed. I too will be a mother, I too will live each day.

i hear you - i love nie, but she also makes me feel like a whiny complainer and gives me a good kick in the pants. before she was in the plane crash i was envious of her mad decorating skills and sunny disposition, but even more so now. molly's story was AW-FUL! i think i cried for an hour straight after reading that.
Bec,
I saw your post on Facebook and checked out your blog. It is reassuring and comforting to me to read blogs and know that the thoughts that I have others do too. With this new baby I have been so overwhelmed and the other day I read a story about a family that lost 4 members in one accident, but yet the still have to go on with life everyday. Thank you for writing these thoughts out, I like to know that I am on the same page with someone. Love you!
