...Just for the Record...

I just wanted to say that when I made yesterday's post I made it to illustrate how lucky I am and how blessed I feel. Maybe I put my emphasis a little too heavily on the bad that can happen...but I wasn't trying make a "poor me/us" post. This last little while has taught me that there is so much that can happen in a moment that can and usually does change everything forever. And hopefully, when that moment comes to me (because I think those moments will come to all of us), I'll be able to look back and see that I made the very most of every other moment leading up to it. That I didn't waste my moments worrying about myself, always expecting the worst-case scenario to become my reality, or being scared by the situations in which I saw other people. That I showed deep and genuine love to everyone.
...And then...In that moment, that I respond with the faith that I have seen in others over the last little while, and not fear.

I'm so grateful for the health and safety of my little family. I feel blessed beyond anything I can express--which is why my little paragraph about us was so short. I don't think the words exist to express how I feel...
