Sesame Street: Will.i.am's Song "What I Am"

I thought this was cute. Sometimes we all need a self esteem boost from Sesame Street :)

Counting Blessings...

I can't help but count my many blessings. It seems lately I have heard an overwhelming amount of tragedies about young parents losing their children. It is absolutely heartbreaking. I cry for these families. I can't imagine what they are going through... nor do I want to try to imagine. But I don't want their losses go to waste... their losses have taught me to love my family more, cherish my time with them more, read more, laugh more. Their losses have helped me remember what this life is about. It has helped put things into perspective. Though their losses are tragic and sad, my testimony has grown in Heavenly Father's plan and that families are forever. We can be together with our families for eternity if we live as Heavenly Father would have us live. Which takes work. I am willing to do that work. It is worth it. So I am making a greater resolve to do better. Do better with my family. Worry less about work, the house, money, whatever worldly things there are to worry about. And redirect my focus to the Lord and His plan. And whenever I feel myself get tired of holding Caleb because he is teething and he doesn't want to be put down, I am going to remember... at least I get to hold him. At least I get to hear him cry because his mouth hurts. Every ounce of energy that it takes to raise Caleb, I am going to appreciate and love. I am going to appreciate and love being tired. Being tired because I have a baby is a blessing. And it is one of many that I will count.
