Sometimes you start feeling down. Not for any particular reason, but because the house can't stay clean more than two minutes, you feel like you can't ever keep up, the kids are fighting, on and on.

But then you realize, you know what? There are people very near to me that have situations much worse than the everyday annoyances that often consume my head. I remember that all the more today, eight years after 9/11/01.

I have a husband that adores me, and the kids. (He got each of us a carnation the other day. Guess which one is mine and which are the ones the kids have played with?)

And I have two apple pies, fresh out of the oven.

Yeah, I'm good. Thanks, God.
