With how busy our weeks get, we try to find time to have a family movie each weekend. Last weekend, as we watched Pocahontas, this conversation happened…
JOHN SMITH: “I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you.” (From Pocahontas by Walt Disney)
MY HUSBAND turns to me: “They have chiseled jaws.”
ME: “I was thinking…how romantic that line was.”
Husbands say the darndest things…
With today being Thanksgiving, I am making this post short but very sweet. When I think of the significance of this holiday, I am reminded of how incredibly blessed I am. Thinking back, I am beyond thankful for two of the greatest days that I have been lucky enough to experience and the gifts of love that I received during them.
As I reflect back to both of these life-changing memories, I have no choice but to believe in fairy tales and true love.
Because God gave me my two perfect princes and the life I prayed for, we smile on with a thankful heart…
Thank you Deniza for this nomination! It is greatly appreciated. Make sure to check out her resourceful, well-designed, aka awesome blog at https://askdeniza.wordpress.com.
THE RULES
How everything started:
Back in March, I started this blog as an outlet for all of the emotions I was feeling and information that I was learning about the world of food allergies and eczema. While those first few months after my son’s anaphylactic reaction were filled with intense anxiety, fear, and frustration, I knew that I needed to turn it into something positive. Therefore, instead of laying in bed crying as my son napped, I started to spend this time putting it all into words with a blog (at the time on another site).It was the beginning of retraining my brain to steer my focus from the challenges and terrifying “what ifs” to all the possibilities for smiles. A weight had started to be lifted…
Also, instead of sending long-winded text message updates to everyone who simply asked how my son TJ was doing with everything, I saw this site as a way of keeping family and friends updated on our journey. By sharing our story and the valuable information that we learn along the way, I hope to help educate others about this world of food allergies and eczema. Most importantly, I want to encourage all who reads this blog to “let your faith be bigger than your fear.”
While I have just started this WordPress blog a little over two months ago, I believe that the following statement will become reality with time…Smiling Away Allergies is the place to share experiences and information about food allergies and life while staying cautiously optimistic, smiling on…
