I’m feeling especially thankful this morning. It might be the dark movies (Harry Potter series becomes quite dark, my friends!) I’ve been watching lately, or the accident I passed on my way to work this morning, but I’m feeling especially vulnerable. It’s at times like these when I find I also become the most reflective…the most grateful…trying my hardest to stay “present.”
Today I’m grateful for my family, for my friends and for all the opportunities life presents. I’m thankful that I wake up in a warm bed in the morning, next to my best friend, while my little urchin stirs below and never fails to greet me with a morning smile.
I’m thankful that I have a job to go to everyday that challenges my creativity with colleagues that push me and bring out my best work.
I’m thankful that we’re blessed with such a loving family. A family that loves Bean to pieces, and despite driving us crazy at times, would go to the moon and back if we needed them to.
I’m thankful that Bean is healthy and that I have the opportunity to be his mommy. I’m thankful that God gave him to me and the Mister to love, cherish and help him find his way through the world. And most of all, I’m thankful that through it all, he’s helping us find our way, too ;)
I couldn’t of ever imagined a richer life for myself and today, I am so incredibly thankful for my ordinary, but oh-so-extraordinary life.
What are you thankful for today?
Happy Thursday! It’s been a busy week, a whirlwind, really. But I’m grateful that tomorrow is Friday and we’re only DAYS from our vacation to Florida.
This week, I’m thankful for…
My parents – who celebrate their Anniversary today – Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!
Our pediatrician and his lovely bedside manner
That I’m only days away from smelling the Ocean
Healthy takeout
That I can blame my dirty hair on the rain
My big boy!
A/C – this weather is muggalicious!
What are YOU thankful for this week? Please share! – let’s get the moments of gratitude going!
It’s Thursday!!!! Which means TONS of season finales tonight (which ones are you watching?!) and….tomorrow is FRIDAY! Yahooooooo!
Despite the icky weather, I’m in a pretty stellar mood and have lots of things to smile about.
This week I’m thankful…
That I’m only 5 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight! This. Is. Major. Given that it hasn’t even been 3 month, I’m feeling incredibly proud of my progress. I’m also pretty certain that those pounds are all in my boobs (sorry, Dad), so that makes me feel even better. Now if only I were certain those will look the same after Bean is finished with ‘em! Anyway, before I get into specifics, how many of you are actually interested in what I did to get here? I’d hate to rant on and on about it if no one cares. Let me know and I’m happy to share what worked for me.
For Bean’s laughter. We heard it this past week and I don’t think there is a greater sound. In fact, I can I literally feel my chest warm from my heart melting.
That we finally have our game plan figured out for Bean’s Baptism and after-party (whoop, whoop!)
That we’re heading back to church this week! It’ll be Bean’s first time listening to Mama cantor (sing, for you newbies) outside the womb 
For promising weather this weekend
For my brother’s creative genius (Clevelanders – check out this new line of CLE pride tees! – Unlikely Optimist - would make a great Cleveland Father’s Day present)
Marotta’s – ’nuff said
Alright, time to dive into the busy day! I’ll be back later
