My hubby and baby - Thank you God for my family.


I have to say that I have the best husband and baby in the whole world. Aren't they the cutest? I believe it doesn't get any better than this. It was taken a few weeks ago (ok, time gets away from me - months ago) and she looks so much like him it's just adorable. Anyway, I can brag on the 2 of them all day long, but I have other information for you. I believe Kati is the best baby in the world. She's happy all the time and I am so blessed to have her.
What brings all this bragging on? Public. I work in the public and today I realized how special and blessed I am. A couple with 2 kids (2 years old and 4 years old) came in to my work place and had a show for everyone around. The kids acted up, so the parents acted up more. I tried giving the kids things to play with, but the parents were so unruly that it was sad. The little boy (4) wanted to ask the daddy a question and tried to get his attention, when he leaned up to his dads face and patted him, the dad hauled off and hit the kid in his face and said, if you slap me, I slap you. THEN spanked the kid for crying... meanwhile, the 2 year old was crying because he wanted a lick of his mom's sucker and screamed and the mom said to shut up. Tell a 2 year old to shut up - I was shocked by their lack of love or care or SOMETHING. I was just shocked and saddened. I wanted to think - well, I am in Arkansas - but ANYWHERE - is this the way humans act to the ones they love? It was tough to see.
I know that is a huge can of worms, but it was just on my mind. And that brings me to being so happy. I really know that happiness is something that we have to learn. Anyone can be happy. I choose to be happy. I can be sad, but I want to be happy. Content. I read somewhere that when you get up, you can decide what kind of day you will have. I did that today. I chose to have a great day! And I did. Although it seemed hard (yucky - rainy day, crazy people, rude people, and just everyone out to test me)... I had an amazing day. Just looking at Kati - makes me happy! Just look at that picture! Just look - it will make you happy too!
I wish true happiness to everyone reading this. Good luck with this, and just choose to be happy. This is the month of Thanksgiving. I'm dedicating the next few weeks to my "thanks" giving.

Thank you God for my family.

what a great thought for us all! Looks like you have it all figured out--deciding to be content with life, no matter what it may bring, is the key to happiness. Besides, who couldn't be happy with such a sweet little girl around?
