My moment came on Good Friday ‘08. I had been to church for a beautiful ceremony and it was two days before my husband was returning from Afghanistan after a 14 month deployment. I left the service uplifted and ready to burst with feelings of joy and appreciation. I had survived this agonizing separation with my life and my family in tact! I immediately drove to the beach and sat staring and crying while the waves echoed my joy. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was and how blessed I truly am. God has been good to me and He continues to do so.

Wonderful outcome! And like Andrea, blogging (and Tweeting and Facebooking…) does serve to focus me, not only in making sure my activities are aligned with what I say my priorities are, but also in drilling down to the “real” me. By that I mean that when you’re using multiple platforms, your authenticity comes out if you let it. (I see this most clearly with Facebook where people from all facets and aspects and time periods of my life converge together.)

Thanks for sharing, and again, this is excellent, beautiful news. I just now read this post — the title plus the date (my son’s b’day) caught my eye.

Seeing the positive side of things and how blessed I am is not always easy. I’m a “green” blogger and after reading an e-mail from someone who has been reading it (she was commenting on how much I “adore” my husband), I realized that blogging (yeah… blogging…) is helping me to focus so much more on what’s going well in my life, with my kids, in my marriage. It’s helping me to keep it real. I wonder if other women bloggers have the same experience?

I know I’m reading this late but I had to comment. I’m choked up and teary-eyed. It’s so easy to forget. My moment was when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. I was beginning to fear I’d never have children. I waited so long – and there it was in my hands, “Pregnant.” I didn’t move for a full 5 minutes. I sat very still, very silent, with tears streaming down my cheeks and thanked the Lord for the rich blessing on my life. Thanks so much for sharing. The reminder is welcome

My first time reading your blog (although I’ve known OF you!) and I am crying! So, so happy that your results were good. What a sweet little face!

Yes, time stopped for me when my mom died. I remember standing in a store getting something for the funeral and thinking…what are all of these people DOING? Time has stopped…why are they just going about their business? It was like living in a parallel universe.

PS…thank you for commenting on my Blissfully Domestic post today. You made me feel famous!

How difficult to go through this, but what sweet relief! I’m so thankful for you that everything came back fine. I love what you wrote “the tyranny of the urgent”. It’s good to have these moments where the truly important things come back into sharp focus.

Oh, Alli, I am just so happy for you.

What a relief! What a way to open your heart up so wide to call attention to all the blessings in your life. I am so happy for you and your family. Praise God!

My husband is in the Army and was away for several weeks, but returned Friday. (YAY!) When I woke up on Saturday morning, I made coffee and then we snuggled with our eight month old (with our yellow lab at the foot of the bed). It doesn’t get any better. How could it?

My husband will be here for a few weeks, then he will be leaving for 9 months, so I am cherishing all these wonderful memories together.

Counting every blessing. Including yours!

Warmly,
Amy
