End tonight on an Up Note
I am trying desperately to focus on the good things in my life right now... and put the bad things to the side for a bit. I really don't want to play "victim" or be a "poor me story" that someone else tells their loved ones at dinner.
Here are some things I am grateful for today:
1. Dinner was awesome. My DH does wonders on a grill. Whouda thunk that when we first got together he didn't even know how to light one LOL!! I didn't eat much, but what I did eat tasted like REAL FOOD
2. I got to talk to my Grandma today. She always makes things better. Grandmas are the best :) I love her so much.
3. I had a muse for about an hour. Long enough to make a couple of sigtags, and try out some Image Mapped ones. I hadn't tried that yet, but I think they turned out great :) She promptly ran off after I got those done.
4. My kids went to bed before 10pm. This is a huge thing here as bedtime seems to be a huge ordeal lately. It was nice to have some "Me Time." Seems we hardly ever get that nowadays.
5. I was scared to go to a good friend's website who just had her baby, because I thought I would resent the fact that her baby was born healthy... but I finally went and when I saw a picture of him, a huge smile came across my face. Babies are truly a miracle. And I am grateful that I can feel happiness for someone else's joy... even when I am experiencing my own heartache. It's nice to be able to smile and know it's not fake just so people don't think your crazy and will just leave you alone.
6. I am extremely grateful for all of my Internet friends who have offered an ear, a shoulder to cry on, or just their time to talk. I don't have anyone IRL to talk to, so that really means the world to me that people I have never met in person would offer to help me thru one of the hardest times in my life.
7. I am grateful for the love I receive from my husband. He has a wonderful kindness about him, and he knows how to joke to loosen up the stressful times, and he knows how to kiss the boo boos away. He's my hero, and always will be. I know he doesn't think that, but he is :)
8. My Little Lexie who doesn't like to give kisses, gave me TWO today... she is a hard one to pin down for more than 30 seconds.... she's a busy monkey :) She gives lots and lots of hugs, but rarely kisses. She musta known I needed them.
9. My kids didn't ruin my house. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT! LOL!!
10. I didn't have to watch more than one Disney Movie today! LOL Sometimes you can only handle Lilo & Stitch, or Nightmare Before Christmas so many times before they make ya twitch and feel like yer gonna need a rubber room.
