7 For 7: Why I'm Happy

I hit a brick wall with an overload of work, CHD stuff, kids, colds, etc. today. Luckily my friend Karen has been kind to step up to the plate and take on today's 7 For 7!

7 Reasons I am Happy to be a Mom to a Child with CHD.

No parent is happy to receive a diagnosis of CHD, but CHD is not a death sentence. For today's post, Karen Ward shares 7 reasons she is happy.

1. I don't sweat the small stuff any more (or as much)
2. I snuggle a little longer at night when I tuck my kids in
3. I have met some WONDERFUL people
4. I have a stronger faith and better relationship with God
5. I am more thankful for what I have and have found that I want less
   
6. I have found strength that I never knew I had
7. I appreciate life so much more

Thanks for sharing your 7, Karen!
