Blessed!

I feel so lucky!

My husband and I have been struggling financially for the last couple of months since he had lost his job. We have both been doing some odd and end things to help make some extra money to keep our heads above water. There is always food on the table and we all have warm beds so I have been thankful regardless. We have been lucky. I know there are tons of people that have it worse than me.

A bit more luck rained on me this week though. A bunch of my friends came together and bought me some skirts. There was a fabulous co-op going on for the skirts which I was unhappily unable to partake in. A week or so ago, my friend B said that she had a snack for me. ( I bet you are wondering what a snack is? Well it is code for a secret gift. It is usually just a bit of love in the mail to let another mother know you care.)

Eagerly, I waited for my snack. It arrived and as I tore open the package I realized what it was. FOUR skirts. Oh my gosh! My mother had been going through a very rough time as well and two of the skirts were for her. I couldn't help it...I sobbed like a baby! How lucky am I to have such caring people in my life. I couldn't even describe to them how thankful I am. I am truly blessed!

If you girls are reading this...I love you and thank you!
