Just like everything else in life... I keep trying to *convince( Why do I need to convince myself, it should JUST be!) myself that I live a good mid-western life. I live in the heartland of America which is one of the 4 geographic regions the United States is made up from. Good mid-western values... which basically are gratitude for the simple things, including value for your word! Midwesterners pull together when needed, yet give each other space to live independently. For me right now it's keeping the house and the home in good working order...
... and then I start to read other blogs, or I read the newspaper or I watch the 'spin' on news and truly.... some deep blessings occur all around me... but also some masterful sadness and heartache happens too! And I am at a loss of what to do! Can I be a solution and not a continuation of the problem???
I have been reading 365 Thank Yous, by John Kralik... it was recommended. And although I don't have the great life challenges he does... I think I have been doing a few things he suggests... and with my faux card business I have an easier time of finding creative ways to express the simple act of daily gratitude from big to small things... yet it isn't enough to just say thanks....this story will continue!

Love your sweet card! The image is so adorable!
You just do need to be YOU! Sounds like I need to read that Thank you book!
The book is very good... it's amazing how much happened to this guy in one year... but it goes along the lines of those self help discovery books!
