Feeling optimistic

Swede25

So, like the title says, I'm feeling very optimistic today.  I did have one little crying episode this morning, but I think it was more over the joy my little one gave me for a few short weeks.  I started thinking about how I should be focusing on that joy instead of my grief.  I've also been listening to that song, "Glory Baby" by Watermark.  One part in there really resonated with me.  It goes:

Sweet little babies, it's hard to understand it cause we're hurting, we are hurting...But there is healing and we know we're stronger people through the growing and in knowing...That all things work together for our good, and God works his purposes just like He said He would...

Now, I'm not an overly-religious person or anything, but I do believe that God has a plan for me and my husband.  I also believe in people we love who have passed on visiting us in our dreams.  A couple months ago my mom dreamt about her mother (passed away when I was 2).  She had a little boy with her and they were leaving on a boat. I kept trying to catch up to them but couldn't.  I always felt this most recent pregnancy was a little boy and I can't help but wonder if that was my baby in the dream.  I know it sounds really bizarre, but in a way it is comforting to know that if it was, that he is safe with my grandmother.  It also makes me think that God's plan is in the works way before we ever realize it. 

Anyway, I have been thinking about all of you ladies a lot, and even though I don't post ALL the time, I read things every day and it has made this whole process so much easier to go through.

Thank you for sharing the joy you were feeling.  Some days I feel more like that, some days I still feel sad.  The good days are becoming more often though!

I took some of that optimism!!
