I feel like lately I have to remind myself more often to be positive & remember all the good things. I teased today that "Gerlach lost her Groove"....kinda how I feel. I am thankful that people like Tara remind me to have faith & remember the love of the Lord. I know there is a power, far greater than any power I hold, that oversees myself, my family & friends.
The greatest thing right now - my girls. I love the funny little things Zoey says: "Mommy, it's Halloween time; what are you going to be?" (for which I didn't have an answer but am open to suggestions) And Karli - the cute lil' looks she gives & the "language" she uses to tell me all the most important things going on every day. I wish I could encapsulate these times because I know I'm far too distracted to fully absorb the moments. I remind myself to slow down, enjoy every moment & forget about work when I'm not there.
Perhaps I need to concentrate on enjoying the moment. It just occured to me that I might be looking forward to our future more than enjoying the present. Hmm - need to ponder that. I'll admit, part of looking forward includes seeing friends I miss so dearly.
Halloween - this weekend - Zoey's Thumbelina & Karli's a Ladybud....Sunday is mom's birthday. I'm looking forward to a fun weekend with family and....enjoying every moment in the present.
Life lessons from a wife, mom and friend who has lived far too much, too early in life. Join me in the lessons life serves up and finding the grace to be thankful for each one.

About Me
- Courtney
- I am a wife, a mom, a daughter & friend trying to journey the best path in life. My goals are: Great wife, Fabulous mom, and Good community member. I am overly critical and hard on myself. I am fearful (like everyone else) & do my best to show strength. I am striving to be stronger, kinder & more understanding in my day-to-day life. I love my husband completely & love being on "our team" together. Another goal...get closer to God (or whatever you want to call him/her). I want stronger faith in my life & I have people who are inspiring me in that area.
