Ohio is AMAZING in the Fall!!!

Sometime I get very homesick.  I live very far away from my sisters, brother and parents.  They are my best friends (besides my hubby of course).  Sometimes this homesickness pulls me down, but as I looked around while walking my (very cute)dog I realized I have an amazing beautiful life right here.  I need to look around me and be happy.  My husband said he saw a quote that said "If you want to be happy then be".  At first that offended me because I thought it was insensitive to struggles and how hard life is.  The more I think about it the more I realized it is right.  The kids fight, money can be tight, hubby can be cranky or I can be tired, but those are little moments and not my life.  My life is looking at the blue Ohio sky (once in awhile....today I was lucky), the beautiful fall leaves, sleeping children (they look best that way :), and my very handsome hubby.  Life is hard, but I am trying to love the little wonderful moments like October in Ohio.
