What I'm Thankful For Today

I have Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I don't really see this as a negative thing, as a matter of fact I thank God that He gave me something that there are so many treatments for it. Yes, there is no cure, but for now I am doing relatively well considering. I am a photographer who is happily married, we have a 15 month old little girl who I gave birth to with no pain medications :) And we have the sweetest little dog :D

This blog is my positive lists because I have a lot on my mind, primarily financial and worried about the future. I find that be creating these lists, helps me put things in a perspective a little.

I hope that you see these lists and comment on your positive thinking :)
