Naming a blog is not easy. I just don't have that creative talent. That being said, I named this blog Joyfully Blessed because there are days when I look at my life and am amazed at how blessed I am. My father passed away from pancreatic cancer when I was 2, so I never had the traditional family. For a few years it was just my mom and me, and then she remarried creating a whole new dynamic. Today I am married to an amazing husband and I have incredible children....I'm living a life that I always wanted.
That doesn't mean my life doesn't come without challenges. My husband and I both have type 1 diabetes. No day is exactly the same. Some are good, and some you wonder what the hell is going on. I also made the decision to be genetically tested, and found out that I am BRCA 1 positive. Who knew knowing that would turn my life upside down. I have had 4 surgeries so far this year (1 more to go in 2015), and still more to go after. And nothing has gone as I planned it to....go figure. That being said....I am joyfully blessed to be Greg's wife, and Avery and Reed's mom. And I am thankful to live another day with them.
I don't know exactly what I want this blog to be. Possibly a sounding board for what's on my mind at this time, but always to be thankful for what I do have. Sometimes I forget that last part. But mainly this blog is for me, and if you enjoy reading it...then that's a bonus.
