Lets count our blessings

Excellent idea Liz....

I am grateful for....

my wife, Erin, even though we drive each other up the wall sometimes.
my beautiful and amazing daughters, Ryleigh and Hannah.
my family.
my friends.
my WLS family, you guys are more than friends.
my RNY.
my church and my faith.
my jobs.
my country and my freedom.
the roof over my head, clothes on my back and food in my stomach.
everything I can't think of right now, because I take it for granted.
last but not least, the Phillies.  There are two seasons in my life, baseball and winter.

Thanks Liz.  Any baby yet???

not yet...

This is an awesome idea for a thread, Liz!!!

I'm grateful for so much in my life:

my family, even though they often make me crazy
Paul
Anson---he's my bonus in my relationship with Paul
my kitties---love 'em more and more every day
my friends---OH and non-OH
my weight loss---it's allowed me to find a medical issue that otherwise may not have been found, before it became a very serious issue
having health insurance, even if the deductible is huge
unemployment---jobs are scarce in my field, so I'm grateful for the UC checks and the ability to train in a new field (am holding off the training till I work through the new medical issue)
the ability to be thrifty---I can squeeze a penny till Lincoln cries!  lol  But it's allowed me to replace my wardrobe many times since surgery without spending tons of money (can you tell I thrift shopped today and found lots of awesome stuff??  lol)
a car that's paid off
having a beach condo to go to---my little slice of heaven

I'm sure I could go on and on.  Even when things seem bleak, I try to remember what I do have in my life.


 

My blessings

I don't want for anything (I might covet, but am not in need)
my health
My husband (my heart, my best friend, my biggest fan and supporter)
My family - while these days, they are a source of sadness and frustration, it is my deep love for them and the high expectations I have of them that evokes these emotions when they are hurting or when they dissapoint me
My job -  I have been blessed as a contractor to have steady work in this economy
My friends (virtual ones included ;) )
My pouch

There's been tragedy and emotion on here as of late?  I must have missed it.

GREAT idea :)

I am thankful for...

Being able to turn to my friends for support no matter the time, the day, the month, the reason, whatever
Friends both on here and "in the flesh"
Support groups to talk to people who "get it"
An amazing job, even if it means lack of sleep, aggravation, and tears at times
A steady income...even if it isn't as much as I want it to be some days
An AMAZING husband who has been by my side every day for almost the past 10 years, regardless what has been going on with me, my family, or anything else.
A family who is *mostly* healthy
My two kitties who know when I need "kitty cuddles"

And I agree with Eric - "everything else I've forgotten because I take it for granted"  it's amazing HOW much we "forget about" because it's "taken for granted"

Thanks Liz!
