What are you grateful for this week?

I was chating with my high school drama teacher over facebook yesterday. She was my teacher who listened to me when I needed listening to and gave me advice. I have lived a lot of my life with the relationship wisdom I got from her over 4 years. Anyway, she's in Malaysia right now, teaching and her husband of 35 years just left her. I'm heartbroken for her, truthfully. Anyway, although she's in a really bad place right now, her mantra has always been that happiness is a choice... And that when you practice gratitude, you're more likely to recognize the positives in your life. Sooo... What are you thankful for this week?

This is really cliche but I am so thankful for my kids, and my friendships I have made on here.

I had Jordan when I was 16, and my life was going downhill. The love I have for him totally changed me the day I heard his heart beat. Getting to know you girls that are having problems concieving and, MO's situation breaks my heart and, has really made me realize I am lucky! I have read many blogs the last few months of people I have met here and on the TB who have lost children. I have become a better parent, friend, and wife in the last year because my eyes have been opened to so many things that I never thought about.

Everyday when I put my kids to bed and leave them at daycare I think what if that was the last time I saw them. It makes me hug them each a little longer, rock a few minutes extra, and kiss just one more time each day.

I am thankful for Leigh Peele. Seriously. I've known for a LONG time what it takes to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable manner, but the way she's pulled everything together, and the no-nonsense way she goes about presenting it has finally gotten through my thick skull. For the first time in 2 years I'm actually losing weight. I weighed in lower today than I ever did before the wedding.

I'm also very thankful for Derek and the support he's given me through this. It helps to much that he's on board.

I'm thankful for having a husband who knows when I need alone time when I'm in a bad mood.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to teach drama and social justice after school, which is physically and mentally exhausting but fills me up spiritually.

I'm thankful for winning a 50$ gift card in a draw through my teacher's life insurance plan!

I am thankful for my husband who supports me no matter what.

I am thankful for the upcoming long weekend that I'll be spending with my family. I'm also thankful that I'll have Monday to myself to recover from the weekend with my family.

And this morning I am thankful for the cookies that I baked last night. One of those was the perfect sugary start to my day that I needed. I've been watching what I've been eating lately and working out and I really needed a small indulgence this morning.

This past week has been phenomenal and I have a lot to be thankful for:

My wonderful husband. I truly lucked out and I don't forget it. He's an amazing person who has challenged me to grow. Michelle Obama said it best this week: "Reach for partners that make you better." He certainly does.

My terrific family. I have no idea where I'd be without their support and love. My brothers, my sister, my parents--I'm lucky to have them. I don't see them as often as I'd like, but I carry them with me everywhere I go.

Opportunities. I'm about to transition to something that's going to kick my ass, but that's okay--I need the kick and I can't wait to get started. I have an opportunity to make a difference, and that's super intimidating but I'm grateful for the chance. I also shouldn't sneeze at what I've done at my current job--I've experienced and done a lot in parts of the world I never thought I'd see.

In light of all the natural disasters that have been happening over the past few months, I'm thankful to be safe.

I'm thankful to have a husband who's truly my partner. It's become very evident especially over the past few months ever since I got pg, but we really keep each other on the ball when it comes to taking care of... life. It's been hard for me to stay focused and energized lately and he's been awesome at staying on track with house stuff and baby prep stuff.

I'm thankful to have a job I love and compensates well. I found out yesterday that my health insurance fully covers a private room so that I won't have to share a ward room with 3 other women (and 3 other babies) after I deliver. I am so, so happy about that.

I'm very thankful for my husband and even all the ups and downs I had to take before I found him. My life wouldn't be what it is today without going through a lot of misses in the beginning. DH is definitely my best friend and my everything right now.

I'm also thankful for my awesome family. We have a bond like no other, and I would be lost without them. This includes the friends in my life who have essentially become family over the years.

rebaann · May 2011

I'm thankful for the long weekend and going home to visit my sister.

I'm thankful that the boss has been out this week; it's made work much more pleasant.

I'm thankful for Jim, who on a daily basis, keeps me sane.

I'm thankful for a husband who is always there for me emotionally, even when we apart physically.

And I'm very grateful to be able to see him tomorrow.

And I'm grateful for the awesome new knee-high boots that were delivered to my house yesterday. It is so hard to find tall enough boots when you're 5'10"!

I am thankful to have a husband who views us as a team. It helps so much to know that we face everything life gives us together.

I am thankful for really wonderful friends. My friend who lives in Pittsburgh is coming down and throwing my shower for me. And the best thing is, I can tell how truly excited she is about it and for me. It means so much to have friends like that.

I am thankful that everything looks great with our baby.

I am thankful that DH and I are getting a weekend away just the two of us this weekend.

And lastly I am thankful that I will be able to stay home for a year or so after having the baby.

I'm thankful for my life. I could be dead right now, I really did almost bleed to death after losing the triplets.

I'm thankful that I was able to battle through the horrible depression, PTSD, and PPD and didn't take my own life, though the thought crossed my mind more than once.

I'm thankful for all of you and how you all saved my life in more ways than you know.

I'm thankful for my husband, who has been more than amazing through all of this.

and last but not least I'm thankful that we'll be able to try for biological children again.
