Things for which I am grateful

Things for which I am grateful

With Thanksgiving just around the corner I thought I would write out a list of things I am grateful for.  This past year has been a real test so I thought it important to remember the reasons why I keep fighting.  The reasons I know that although I will never forget, that I will make it through this. 

So here goes:

·         A supportive husband that never lets me down

·         A kickass big sister that shows me how to fight

·         Friends that have been there for me through the good and the bad

·         Our black lab Annie, even though she drives me crazy, is truly man’s best friend

·         Over-all good health (This week anyways)

·         Arts and crafts to keep my mind at ease

·         Wine for the really bad days

·         A roof over my head to keep the black clouds away

·         Food in my belly-sometimes too much

·         A chance to emotionally recover-And work out the food in my belly

·         That we got Lydia’s heartbeat recorded-So I can listen to it all of my life

·         Health insurance-Without it I wouldn’t have most of the above!

·         Cute boots-Because my inner self is kind of a diva

·         Coffee-Without it I wouldn’t be able to function

·         Inlaws that I love-A lot of poeple do not get that lucky

·         CJ my nephew-Who has made me want to be a mom

·         Kevin’s ability to understand me-Because sometimes I feel like no-1 else does

Well with that all said, I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.  I hope all of my Angel mommy friends find some peace this holiday.  Kevin and I decided not to do family stuff for Thanksgiving and go to the casino and have a fun date night instead.  I couldn’t do the family stuff.  With Christmas not too far away I would rather be more emotionally stable for that, than try when I’m not ready.  It might sound selfish to some people, even our family, but we still have a lot of healing to do and we just couldn't emotionally deal with a holiday yet. 

Hopefully my millions await J
