Learning to be "glad"

What a week it has been!! This sounds crazy but my students and I read Pollyanna this week. I learned a lot from the short amount of the book we read together. The point is this... no matter what situation I may be in, I can be "glad". We have had so many things going on in our lives lately, but when I really sit down and think about them, I can find good in all of them. For example, if my husband and I disagree about something, I can see that the arguement will bring us closer together in the end. We will have a better understanding of eachother. If Abram is having a hard time at school, I can see that Ray and I are here to speak for him. To be his voice. To fight for his safety and protection when he doesn't have the words to express himself. If Lucy is not feeling well, and full of snot, we have the money and doctor to help her. So overall, no matter what happens in this household, we can see the goodness in what seems like "crap". Life and love are good!! My family is my world.
