The more I write on this blog, the more friends I have telling me their stories about their journey in trying to have a baby, and what they went through/are going through. It's amazing to me how many women struggle with this. Kyhle and I had a long talk about it all last night, and discussed our journey, while also talking about different friends of ours who have or haven't struggled. While speaking in general terms (not specifically about me), he said something that really stood out.
"Look, you can either be miserable and have no baby, or you can be happy and have no baby. Either way, you still don't have a baby. Being miserable about it isn't going to change that."
Choose to be happy. Choose to love life, and love my family and friends I am blessed with. I don't want to be that miserable woman who is always complaining, and worse...always angry. I don't want to be angry. I've been that woman. I've been the angry, miserable, complainer. It's not worth it, and doesn't change anything.
By choosing to be happy and thankful for what I am blessed with, it makes the journey more tolerable. It also makes me realize how much I do have, and all we are blessed with. Am I happy every day? Of course not! I still can have my angry, miserable, complaining days, but I choose to make those on a rare occasions. Progress! :)
(Maybe today has just been a really good day)
