I have had a lot on my mind this week and have had a little bit of a 'woe is me attitude' on the inside. I have a few stressors that I need to figure out or fix and I'm totally stressed about them. I was reading through a few of my friends blogs and then looking at my blog. I thought how fun my life looks on the outside. (It definitley has its fun moments too.) I also realized that I need to get over myself as I have it so much easier than others and I should be grateful for my stresses as they are small and insignificant. When I read my friends blogs I want to be there to help them fix their problem(s). It seems so much easier than fixing my own.
Sometimes I wish life could be like the movies (at least the happy ending movies). They have a problem, music plays and the people look all sad and they take a walk around the water or in the park. Then they figure out how the fix the problem and everything is wonderful. Why can't real life problems be solved that way. :)
So to all my friends who are going through a lot of stuff right now, I pray for you and wish I could be there to help you! Sometimes life is just hard. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and struggles because it helps me be more appreciative of you, put my own problems in perspective and more understanding to those around me.

Deb, you are so wonderful! I agree that it would be so nice if life were like the movies. It has surprised me over the last few years how hard life can be at times. I think before then, I had it really pretty easy. But now that I am an adult, the stakes seem much higher and the decisions so much more difficult to make.
I appreciate your prayers and just the fact that you can totally relate. I love that you said that "sometimes life is just hard." I have had so many people make comments like "this too shall pass" (which in my case is not true, really) or "everything happens for a reason" or "serve someone and you will feel better," etc. But you know, sometimes those things just don't apply. Serving someone else is not going to make me feel better about my son being autistic, you know. It's just hard, and yes, we will make it through, but it makes it easier when people don't just blow it off. So, thank you!
