disappointments, who needs 'em

they come in all shapes, sizes and varieties. disappointments. today we heard back from one of the places Mister has applied for work. he didn't get it. it's interesting to recieve information like that the very day after we were counting our blessings. i thought it was perfect timing because it wasn't as crushing as i thought it would be.
i kept telling Mister that i was sad because the job would have taken us on an incredible adventure. but then i got to thinking about that. my life IS an incredible adventure!
I married the man of my dreams, i have two beautiful, healthy children who bring me so much joy and make every day a new exciting time. my son is always so excited about the things that he sees. when i look at the world through his eyes i cannot help but be excited too. i mean, let's be honest, a walking stick is a very exciting thing. it's a bug, that looks like a stick!
i guess today i am looking at disappointments in a different way. i am thankful that Mister will be going back to school full time. i am excited that he will have the chance to focus on his degree and get that done. and what an adventure (yes!) it will be to support our family while he finishes. the day he walks and recieves his degree will be an amazing day. i am so proud of him.
so i guess today my head is in a good place and i am looking at things in a positive way. we are healthy, happy, and blessed. in fact, i am feeling so content that i don't even have one snarky-boo thing to say about "black friday". ;)
