This quote sums up how I'm feeling at the moment, don't have much else to say...

Quote of the Day

"Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy, but the worst habit you could possibly have." - Dale Carnegie

I can't tell you how many times I've had to remind myself of this before I opened my mouth to complain about something. I am aware of how blessed I am, and that in reality I have nothing to complain about. Some days it's harder than others not to feel sorry for yourself...especially when trying to get pregnant! Or any other frustrating situation you might be dealing with.
My focus is no longer on what I don't have, but what I do have. I have SO much to be thankful for and I'm blessed beyond belief. My family, my friends, and my health, are things that can't be replaced. Reflection on my life is my daily exercise...feels good!

Starting Fresh...again

With every month that passes without successfully conceiving, I get a sense of refreshment (after a major bout of depression, anger, and saddness) and I get to start new, try something different, and slowly but surely my motivation creeps back in. Since I have found a group of very supportive women via twitter and YouTube, I have gained so much knowledge and information. This was my first time hearing of the vitamin called Vitex and I went out and bought some last night. I have yet to try them, but I've done a lot of research on them so I feel completely comfortable taking them.
Anyhow...I'm feeling hopeful again and I'm looking forward to what the future holds.

F x 3

Life can take some very unpredicted twists and turns, and at the end of the day there are three things that are important: Family, Friends, and Faith.

This weekend was really rough for me. stressful to say the least and it has never been more apparent to me just how much I needed my family, my friends, and my faith. Nothing else seems to matter if I have those three things. Honestly, think about your WORST day...I'm willing to bet that the 3 F's helped you get through it.

The waiting game

Here we go again...the dreaded TWW (two week wait). The hardest part for me about trying to conceive is finding patience. Besides that, I'm driving myself crazy scrutinizing every little "sign" that could mean I'm pregnant. I'm not due for another cycle until the end of February, which seems so far away. Tick tock.
Cris has been so supportive and I swear, I love him more now than the day I married him. I love him more with every day that passes. He's my rock. My adorable, spontaneous, hilarious rock.
Today (two days after Valentines Day) he surprised me with a Pandora bracelet! I'm so excited to add charms as we continue this ridiculously hard yet unbelievably beautiful journey called life together.

Happy Valentines Day

Today is a day to celebrate love. Love of all forms...love for a spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, child, parent, grandparent, friend, family member, or pet! Grab someone you love and just tell them how blessed you are to have them in your life. Happy Valentines Day to all!

Quote of the Day

"Surround yourself with only people that lift you higher"- Oprah Winfrey

It's draining to go on to Facebook or Twitter and see so many people complain...and these are people that are very blessed but are too blind to realize it.

I always felt bad or even guilty for deleting people off of fB but sometimes I think the negativity of people's thought process brings me down and I'm not going to continue to allow those people to affect my daily mood.

I might not have the best life, the most money, the best clothes, cars, or house...and everyone faces daily difficulties...but instead of complaining about it and bring everyone down, I embrace every difficulty as an opportunity and try to learn from it. I do this because I choose to be happy. Ridding people that feed off of negativity has been refreshing.
