These past few months have not been my best.
We sold our home, we moved in with my parents, we found out that the house we are buying will be taking months to settle.
Our dog was attacked and I am losing my job at the end of the summer.
And while there has been fun times, lately life feels a bit like a bad country song.
I’ve been known to wallow in the bad. To fail to see the silver lining. And with each new disappointment and each set back I fight the urge to wallow.
I fight the urge to be swallowed by all that is going wrong. I force myself to focus on what is going right. To focus on my blessings and the good times.
And everytime I need a pick me up it is this face that does it.
This smiley face that I quickly snapped on the 4th of July while trying to get a picture of his Capt. America tee.
It is this face that lights up my days even when he wakes me up before it’s light out.
He does have a beautiful face – the kind you just want to smoosh and smooch!! Sorry things have been so hard – I hope they pick up for you soon. Good luck!
Thank you, his face is very smooshable.
He is so cute, he would cheer me up too! 🙂 Hoping things turn around soon!
Thank you, I hope so too.
Oh, he is so cute!!!
I hope your bad country song turns into a good one soon 🙂
Me too!
You have so much going on! How wonderful that you have this wonderful boy to brighten your days.
I am so lucky to have him. He really is my happy place.
It is so amazing how those eyes, smiles, giggles can pull us out of the dark spaces that we allow our heads to pull our hearts into. That photo just made me smile too! You chose some great words to capture that memory!
You are so right. I'm glad he made you smile too.
I hope the bad passes soon and that you get back to the good. In the meantime, continue to enjoy that adorable face.
Thank you. I hope it passes too.
We had a VERY similar summer in 2010, we got through it, life is better now and gets better by the day. Take care
It's so nice to know that someone has been through this before. We are hanging in there and I know that once our new home settles there will be better days ahead.
