Caring for Ourselves

The three things that bring joy to my life are my children and my husband.
Another thing that brings joy to my life is helping my aunt take care of her great-grand kids. The third thing that brings joy to my life is religion.

My family brings joy to my life because we love each other, we comfort each other. We have fun and learn together. We make sure we respect one another. My Husband make me laugh a lot. We are a very affectionate family.

It is a delight to help my aunt raise her great-grand kids. She had them since they were two months and now they are three years old twin boys. To watch them grow into there own little individual self is amazing.

Religion brings joy to my life to know there is a higher power in life. That one day there will be no more pain and suffering. We can pray and ask for forgiveness and it would be heard.

Combination Feelings

A example of combination emotions that I have had is happy and sad. These feelings came to me when I found out I was pregnant. I wanted to have my second child by the time I turned 30. Right before my 30Th birthday I went to the doctor to see if I was pregnant or not and I remember telling my doctor, "tell me if I'm pregnant because if I'm not I'm going to party all month long." The doctor said,"I guess you won't be partying because you're pregnant." At that moment I felt a rush of happiness because I had met my deadline. On the other hand I was sad because that meant I couldn't party and celebrate my birthday as planned.
