Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for a lot of things, but I don't always let people know I am.  It's not that I don't 'feel' it, I just can't express it.  Feelings were not something that were expressed a lot when I grew up.  I smother my son and tell him constantly how I feel about him, but I'm not able to do that with anyone else.

So:

I am soooo very thankful for my husband.  He's supportive, understanding, positive, he works hard, he provides, he's an excellent father who attends our sons every school function, sports event and after school activities.  He also lets me know when to pull my head in (which at times really needs to be done!).

I'm thankful that in 9 years of trying to have a family (recurrent miscarriage, IVF, surgeries, health problems, more surgeries), I have managed to have an amazing, empathetic, independent, bright, happy and easy going little boy!  Many I know are not so fortunte.

I'm thankful that after a run of bad (and sometimes serious) health problems, my health is reasonably good at the moment.

I'm thankful for a roof over our heads, it's not ours, but it's ours for as long as we need it.

I'm thankful for a handful of amazing, caring and supportive friends, who look past my moments of darkness and insanity and know that I truly have good intentions, I just sometimes let my emotions rule how I approach situations.

I'm thankful for my job!  I work at a lovely facility, my residents are gorgeous, my co-workers are fun and my Nan was able to get a place there.

Today, I am thankful for some sun!
