New Blog....

So....what to write about....

As the name implies...I am blond and I have a big mouth! LOL This blog is just another way for me to run that big mouth.


Today, since it is a quiet day sitting home with my amazing family. I will write about what I am thankful for.

Many years ago, I lost my first husband in a car accident. We were high school sweethearts. We were married after high school and had 2 children. He joined the Marines and we were stationed in Hawaii. While home on leave he lost control and struck a tree. It was devastating. The thankful part comes in 2 weeks later, when I met the most wonderful, selfless man God could give me. It was truly love at first sight, and a whirlwind romance. We were married 9 months later. He became a father to my older children and we eventually had 2 more children. We live on the dead end of a dirt, country road on a river. We are partners in this life and I couldn't want for more.

Are there things I could complain about? Sure there is...but why? When one sits down and starts to feel sorry for themselves, or complain about what they don't have...they start to forget about all the things they do have. They may not always be grand...but it's all the little things in life that add up and make life great!

I learned something that night when that car struck that tree. Our tomorrows are never guaranteed. You can look at the glass half empty...and wonder how to fill it up, or you can see it as half full and be thankful that it isn't completely empty!
