Do you ever find yourself lamenting your life or situation? Things could be worse. That's what I remind myself when things are hard. I'm not necessarily feeling down or anything, but someone near me was having a bad day today. While I was driving this morning I saw a car with a pizza box for a window. It was snowing and super slushy outside, and this poor guy was using a pizza box as a window. Those things aren't exactly waterproof. It was on the driver side window and he had a little hole cut out near the side mirror so he could see out the side. Talk about a blind spot.
I remember that once one of my uncles had a car that was so bad, he had to drive with a pipe out the window that he would breath through so he wouldn't suffocate from the fumes in the car. In the middle of a Utah winter. That's pretty bad.
At least I have windows in my car that work and a safe way to drive my family around. Even if we don't live in a house with a yard right now, at least we live in a clean and safe environment. Even though Scott is just a student (no $$$), at least we have a happy little family. The "at least's" are endless. I am grateful for my little family and the many ways we feel blessed each day. I hope you can feel and find some gratitude in your life today.

Thank you so much for that, it really just made me think about my life and really how blessed that I am. Thanks so much!!
I feel the same way. I can relate to living in the midwest winters with babies and student life. Still living similarly but with little snow and bigger babies. ;)
Hey! I happen upon your blog so often. Your life is so much like mine and I love to relate to your posts; this one especially. I feel like I complain a lot, even though I find myself soooo blessed. Life can be so mundane and hard with toddlers and babies, but really they are the greatest blessings and bring great joy!
