I received the Lemonade- The Attitude of Gratitude Award from Gwen at Murphy Grace Home and I am so honored!

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs that show an attitude of gratitude
3. Link to your nominees within your post.
4. Comment on their blogs to let them know they've received this award
5. Share the love and link to this post and the person who nominated you for the award. Tell us how you've come to have an attitude of gratitude.

 I don't know what to say, I am horrible at this. I know that my life is not perfect, nowhere near perfect. Seriously not close at all. It's been a long, hard road with lots of ups and tons of downs. There has been times I just want to quit, but I don't and I won't. Rather than looking at what I don't have, I look at what I do have. If we spend our time thinking about what we don't have and whining and complaining and doing nothing about it, we will go nowhere so with all the bad, I remain positive as best I can, I am So Thankful for everything I do have, God,  my husband, my children, my grandparents, all of my family, my home, health, etc. I love to spread a little love and cheer, I don't want to be known as the downer, the whiner, etc. I want people to see and know that no matter what I do or don't have, I am happy, it is what me make it, right? Now with all that said, and this may seem so silly to people. But this blog means so much to me, the people I have met, chatted with, emailed, all of you Awesomes that take the time to read my blog, you have no idea how much it all means to me. Seriously, I am a SAHM and I love it but this gives me a chance to me, a chance to be creative and share it, and who knows where this will lead, how many doors it will open, all the new fabulous people I will and have met. It just truly Amazes me! It gives this sometimes lonely bored mom a little something outside of home to look forward to. Your all truly amazing and Thank You. And Thank You Gwen again for this lovely award!
