I always try and stay upbeat and positive on my blog and especially with my life in general. But sometimes life is just plain hard and you need to let yourself have a sad day or two.
My family has really been through a lot recently, especially when my dad passed away just a month before his grand daughter was born. It has been the hardest thing that I have had to accept or deal with.
Within the last couple of months we also lost 2 of our family dogs, whom I grew up with and loved like they were my best friends. It's hard not to stay upset, question life and fall into a depth of sadness especially when you are so far from home.

| Sally and Chealsy. RIP. Good dogs. |
Today I want to pay tribute to the recent loss of my dogs, but I also want to celebrate all the good things in my life. I have a beautiful baby girl, loving and supportive husband, a wonderful mother and a beautiful sister. I have my health and an opportunity to live my American dream.
Here's to life, and living it to the fullest!
Who or what are you grateful for in your life?
