I thought instead of whining, I would count my blessings for a change. I have the most wonderful parents who would do anything for me, (and have) I have awesome children and grandchildren that I love very much, a sister who is also my close friend - one who has always been there for me and doesn't judge. I was married to my best friend for almost 37 years and had a great life with him. I have my health (more or less) and all my fingers and toes ;)   A car that runs, a roof over my head, and food on the table.  I also have a wonderful extended family - it was so wonderful to meet with my parents, daughter & grandkids, my sister, one of her daughters, her son and daughter-in-law, and 3 of her sweet granddaughters & also my brother, 2 of his daughters & sons-in-law, and 1 of his sweet granddaughters last weekend. We had a great visit and it was awesome watching mom & dad (Gramma & Papa) with some of their great grandkids. The girls - my mom, sister, 2 of my nieces & I went to the Temple on Saturday, what a wonderful experience it was. No, things haven't changed, I'm still stressed and depressed, I'm still whiny and short-tempered, But I know I have a family that loves me, and a Heavenly Father that blesses me, and for this I am grateful.
