Recent upheaval has plummeted me into a dark space, where I am not willing to settle. Depression has followed me throughout life, and while I acknowledge it has a place, I am not willing to let it drive. I learned long ago that the only way for me to counter the clouds is to be cognizant of my thoughts and adjust focus.
So, I have decided to dedicate Thursdays to acknowledging my blessings.
Where better to start than with those three little miracles who have inspired me to be a better person, and given me the strength to never give up: my children.
As they are not crazy about me taking their pictures, I’ve chosen some old photos, capturing ages and stages:
Being a mom is a blessing. Having birthed these three a miracle I am ever grateful for.
One Woman's Quest II 
Blessings indeed. Just know that apart from the Brady Bunch, reality is much more challenging, and blessings are important.

Thank you dear friend! That child (the bandaged one) was forever winning the Oscar for most dramatic act, lol.
