Grateful

I've been back to work for over a month now, but for some reason, today was just as hard as the first.  I didn't want to leave this morning, and the last thing I saw as I grabbed my keys and opened the door was sweet Gabriel eying me up.  It made me feel even more sad because it seemed as if he knew I would be gone for a while.  Of course, he's only 4 months and he was probably just eying up my breast, but it didn't matter.  Today was hard.  I am hoping for some big changes in The Martin Family soon, but in the meantime, today I am grateful.  I am grateful my husband saw I was struggling and picked up a sweet card to brighten my day.  It reads, "I know things are tough right now, but just remember - every flower that ever bloomed had to go through a whole lot of dirt to get there!"  And I am also grateful for this tub of lovin' and the few special moments we shared today.
