I have so many things to do here.  You would NOT believe my to do list.  So, what's my problem?  I'm a procrastinator.  At the end of my day, I look back and think, "What happened to doing such and such and getting this accomplished today?"

What makes things worse is that I'm going through some sort of depression.  I'd like to think it's mild, but I'm not sure. This has only happened once before and lasted for a short time.  I'm trying hard to stay close to God during this time.  Here are some blessings I'm thankful for:

1. My 12yo dd.  She sent a care package through the mail to a member of our church that hasn't attended since June.  She insisted on spending her own money to mail it.  I was afraid she was wasting her money, but didn't say a word.  The next Sabbath, the lady was at church, with the care package in hand.  ......to have the faith of a 12 yo.......
2. My 8 yo dd.  What did she want for her birthday?  Build a Bear? nope.  New Barbies?   nope.  New Polly Pockets? nope.   A new game for her Nintendo DS?  nope.  She wanted her own Bible, so she can read it and learn all the Bible stories herself. 
3. My 6 yo dd.  She is always concerned about others well-being.  Whenever we pass by a Salvation "red bucket" and person ringing the bells, she must put money in it.  She is a thankful little girl.  Whenever I take her anywhere, to the mall, Taco Bell or even the library, she always says, "Thank you mommy for buying me a burrito."
4. My 18 mo ds.  His grin will melt my heart in 0.5 seconds flat.  I am so thankful for the way he walks over to me, grabs my cheeks and kisses my lips at least 5 times.   AND, I'm VERY thankful that even though he has 3 older sisters, he is ALL boy!   He loves to climb, play and LOVES his toy cars.  He almost always has one in hand.
5. My dh.  For his sweet compassion towards me.  I'm thankful for such a strong & handy dh.  He is a hard worker and most weeks, he is working 60 hours for us.  He has a job that requires him to be on his feet at least 95% of the time. He is NOT a procrastinator!  That is a good thing with our home!  I'm very thankful that even though we spent 3 hours at the surgery center yesterday morning, the report from the doctor was a good one.  Under Jesus, he is my rock.
6. My mom.  I can gripe and complain all I want, but when it comes down to it, my mom is here for me and my family NO matter what.  I need to be more thankful for that.  She does so much for us.
7. For a Saviour that loves me no matter what I do.
