thanks to sunday


Yesterday was a fantastic day.  I was again reminded of my Heavenly Father's outstanding love for me.  I can feel just how well he knows and understands me.  Sometimes, when we stress ourselves to the max, it seems like everything just piles on until the burden weighs a million tons.  Those stresses can be lifted, mine were lifted.  I was able to have a perspective check.  I am in control of my life.  I can decide how to act and react to the things that come along.  I can control how I feel and can contribute to the joy other people feel.  Things aren't always easy, but they don't have to burden us down with the weight of the world.  We can open our hearts and minds and have a realization of our purpose on earth.  The bigger picture.  But the very best part, we never have to face the world alone.  We DO have a Heavenly Father and a Savior, Jesus Christ. 

LIFE REALLY IS WONDERFUL.

the blog conflict

So, since Bruce has arrived, I have been trying to decide which direction I want my blogging to go...

My blog life started on this blog, where I would post oh so random things, and events I wanted to remember about my life, travels and marriage.  I never kept up with it very well, and seemed to be searching for things to write about.

Through the pregnancy, most of my updates were about the boy, and I put these posts on my baby blog.  This blog was meant for me to journal our conception story, and pregnancy.  Now that the boy is here, my life doesn't seem to be divided into two compartments anymore.  I don't necessarily want to use my baby blog as our family blog, but I don't really feel attached to this blog anymore either.  So, I'm not sure what to do.  I have to decide between keeping both blogs, keeping one or the other, or starting fresh.

I know these things:  I want to blog.  Also, if I'm going to continue to blog, I need to dedicate myself to keeping up with it, for me.  This will include taking more pictures.  I also know that I need inspiration.

This may seem so silly, but I feel like I've been missing out on keeping record of important moments because my blog situation feels chaotic and out of order!  Seriously, I need help :)  However, I'm hoping, by putting this dilemma out in the universe, I will be able to sort through it all and move forward soon.

Any advice is more than welcome :)
