I have felt like I just cant quit make things work, I have just had the "Debbie Downers" I guess. After a few weeks of this in my life I usually have someone come to my rescue. My sister is my hero, she listens to me and my worries all the time, you know "the VENTING phone call" . I love her and I couldn't have any sanity with out her. She is like my mom #2. SO when I start to get selfish and ungrateful and everything embarrassingly terrible that comes out in my thoughts about my "picked on" life that usually means I am about due for a big helping of "PERSPECTIVE" ....... this is how it went for me this time....after my venting phone call (much needed) with my sister, My mom calls me and says that she left a book on my doorstep and that I have to take the night off and read this book. So I said OK and got home grabbed the book threw it on the couch with the diaper bag as I'm dragging my 2 year old through the door. Book forgotten. Anyway, I finally took my mothers advice and I finished the book this morning and let me tell you........This put my way of thinking back on track, slapped the perspective back into my life. I have never heard such an amazing profound story in my life. I loved it. No words can express the story of this family. It helped me remember why Im here and why its so important to do the right things. And just to get you interested its about a man who in a comatose state was able to die experience the spirit world and come back to his family, he shares the entire experience and was definatley divinely sent back to share this story with everyone else.
Love you mom thanks!

Nicky your family pictures are so cute!
I am going to have to go get that book! It sounds super good!
Love ya and keep your chin up always!
I just read this a few months ago and, AGREED!! Loved it and have read a couple more like it so if you want names Ill give them to you. Its so easy to forget what really matters and get caught up in our small petty lives I do it to. so I love these to slap me in the face once in awhile:) ps its short and easy to read.
I have got to get a copy, thanks for the reminder! Venting is always available! :)
I have the book, too. The author is a good friend of my dad's. Pretty awesome! What a great reminder of what is most important in life.
