Why No Matter What Else Happens . . .

I can still manage to smile and feel full of love every day! We had to take one of our cars in to be diagnosed and fixed. This is always a scary thing because you never know how much money you're gonna have to fork out at the end of the day. After finding out that we need all new brakes and rotors, a new gas cap, a new vacuum tank, and an oil change, plus the cost of labor, and none of it is covered under the warranty, I would normally cry, complain, and feel sorry for myself. But, this time, I had a different reaction. I did not get upset at all. I really didn't care about how expensive it was going to cost. I knew it needed to be done, and I carried on with life. (And, at least we have a rewards credit card we can use, and this will help us be closer to redeeming a nifty cash reward!) I remembered how blessed I am to have the most wonderful husband and daughter in the world, and really nothing else mattered!

Here's a little preview of why I get to smile every day amidst the challenges I face.

Could anyone be in a bad mood after seeing this face? Seriously, I can't!

Beautiful. Pure. Precious. Perfect.
