A Lesson in Humility

Well, if there was ever an instance to feel humility it has been within the last week. With all that has happened I am nothing, if not grateful for what we do have and don't think I will ever take anything for granted again.
I know we are not the only family to ever go through a job loss so I'm trying to remember that this will pass and work out however it is supposed to but it doesn't make the eye of the storm any easier to navigate.
We are both working really hard to figure things out. Eric is really pushing for us to move back to Wenatchee since he thinks he could have a job there but I'm resisting. I have established roots here and I absolutely love living in Whatcom County and can't imagine leaving. In the end we will do what we have to but I'm praying our path will continue to be here.
I wanted to write a post because I see many of you are checking the blog and probably wondering how we are doing. Friends are certainly one of those things I am truly appreciating and not taking for granted. Everyone has been so supportive and thoughtful without acting like they feel sorry for us and I truly appreciate that. The whole situation is embarrassing and everyone is being so respectful. I don't think I could handle things as tactfully if I had a friend in the same situation. I never know what to say or do so this is also a lesson.
This past week has really brought to mind what is truly important. Family, friends and wonderful moments make life special and I'm truly blessed with all of them.
