finding inspiration

There has been a lot on my mind lately. Some days are better than others but overall things have been pretty good in the Munguia household. We struggle with daily things just like everyone else; like when will we find time to clean, shop, get organized, check the finances, are we saving enough, are all Aviana's needs being met, are all OUR needs being met? Yadda yadda, but today I was struggling with a situation that presented itself yesterday and as I was browsing some online blogs this morning I came across a blog that stopped me instantly. After reading this woman's story I became a little more grounded as to the importance of living in each and every moment whether it is pleasant moment or one that I really could have done without. Her story is heartbreaking as she is a recent widow at 29 with twin girls right around a year old. Her husband died without warning. I find strength from her. She is a single Mom, working, living and supporting her two babies on her own. I absolutely cannot imagine living in her shoes but learning about her push for strength and finding hope each day she lives is amazingly inspiring and uplifting. My struggles seem so tiny compared to hers. I will visit her blog frequently as I know it will help inspire me to be a better person. Is there anyone who inspires you to be better? If not, find someone and learn from them. Sometimes the most gut wrenching stories can give you more peace and hope in YOUR life that you may have otherwise not found.

"Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all." ~Emily Dickinson
