Taking a cue from YUMMommy, here are a few things I’m grateful for.
More opportunities. I’ve been asked to participate in a number of great things lately and instead of doing what I always do—blab about it and then get bummed when it falls through—I will simply sit and be grateful that I was asked and let God do what he does. I know that what is for me, is for me. I no longer feel that oh so familiar twinge of jealousy when someone else gets a big opportunity placed in front of them. There isn’t a limited amount of wonderful out there. The world is overflowing with good news and yes, a fair share of it has your name on it.
More growth. My husband and I had a quick tiff the other day regarding the kids’ bedtime and just as quickly as it started, it was over. We were good. I feel fortunate that we’ve been able to grow in our relationship. We’re not fussing about who’s right and who’s wrong, like we did for so many years in the beginning of our relationship. We’re attacking the problem, finding solutions and going to bed entwined in each other’s arms. This is what love should feel like.
More reflection. I’m an introvert so I spend a good part of the day in my own head. I’m like a computer, running different scenarios, trying to see where I can tweak my behavior to get a better response out of the people in my life—my kids, my husband, my friends, my clients. And a lot of times, I’m able to get better results by simply taking a deep breath before I respond to anything and approaching every situation from a calm space.
More happiness. Damn if this isn’t the happiest I’ve ever been. I want to hold on to this feeling and never ever let go. I remember the low days. Over the past five years, the struggle to be consistently happy has been an uphill battle for me. I went to see a therapist, had a couple of ah-a moments and have been struggling to implement some changes ever since. But this year, something has clicked. Maybe it’s my kids getting older, school coming to an end (I graduate in December, Lord willing), or work finally coming in consistently, but I am in love with me. Feeling thankful.

Thanks for the shout out! It’s amazing that we both mentioned each other in out Thankful Thursday posts. I’m thankful that you have been such an inspiration and great friend. I’m thankful that if I have a question about something, you’re always willing to answer it and share advice! Thank you!
THIS: “I am in love with me” = EVERYTHING!
I’m thankful for my daughter’s health. A year and a half ago she had a minor kidney infection and she spent a week in the hospital getting large doses of antibiotic and temperature spikes of 101 and up. I didn’t know what was going to happen to her and I had to be strong through my uncertainty. When I was pregnant with her the doctor said she might have Downs Syndrome. That devastated me but I refused to terminate the pregnancy because she might be born sick. She was born in perfect health and I just want to thank her for showing me that I am stronger than I thought.
Kidney infection should be monitored closely because it can lead to a more serious damage tot the kidneys. *””**
