I worked again today, and Graesen took a big long nap again.  When he got up I decided that we needed some ice cream in our house.  Nothing like a little ice cream to brighten your day :)  Since we were only grabbing a couple of small things at the store I let Graesen walk around carrying a basket.  He thought he was so grown up :)

I am feeling stronger today.  Like an "I can make it through this" kind of strong.  I have yet to face something that God did not give me the strength to survive.  He will help me through this too.  I am a worrier by nature.  I have always been afraid of the "what ifs."  Well, a whole bunch of "what ifs" happened last year and I am still here.  I still have God.  I still have family.  I still have my sweet baby boy.  And amazingly, I still have joy.  There is almost a sense of release knowing that I have faced some of my biggest fears and am still "okay."  Yes, it is sad and hard, but the world is still spinning and I still have reasons to give thanks to God.
