Enjoy Life – Short Inspirational Quotes about Life and Happiness
We love how beautiful and simple these printable inspirational quotes are! A great reminder that we can enjoy life, no matter the circumstances! There was a time I thought my oldest son, Ethan, would be an only child. I always wanted to have a big family but I was struggling with Secondary Infertility - a condition in which a woman has the inability to become pregnant or to carry a pregnancy to term, following the birth of one or more biological children. Getting pregnant with our second child took years of medical procedures, and we found ourselves mourning the loss of a miscarriage in the middle of it all. (Definitely not a time in my life I want to relive!) Fast forward 10 years and I am now a mom to 5 healthy kids! FIVE! It's the big family I always wanted, which means life is perfect now, right?
