This is what I have today. It's a good day for some reason.
1. I am grateful for H, who I did spend a great few years with.
2. I am grateful for the lessons he has taught me with regards to marriage. I hope to take them towards my future relationships.
3. I am grateful that my kids ARE resilient and will be ok.
4. I am grateful for my ex and his wife. They have come through for me in a time when the ones who should, couldn't.
5. I am grateful that my baby girl will grow up with two parents who love her, and sisters who love her, and a family she would have never thought possible.

I am grateful for my wonderful little boys. Their boundless enthusiasm wakes daddy out of his funks.
For my mom. I thought I had a good idea how smart and wise she is. I was wrong. She's been my rock through this.
For free gym memberships.
For the people here who take time out of their day to swing 2x4's, offer comfort and wisdom, and share their experiences.

Living to see another day. (A colleague was just diagnosed with cancer. Sometimes we get so caught up in our M issues that we fail to remember how frail life is. It is an ABSOLUTE GIFT to wake up each day.)
Helping others. It helps me take my mind off myself and to realize how GOOD I have it!
Relaxing in the bath with my favorite bath gel after a hard workout at the gym.
The slice of carrot cake I had today. Yummy. (Sometimes I remember the immediate post-bomb days when I never thought I would eat again. I have to laugh and thank God that I have come so far :))

First and foremost, My daily waking thought/prayer:
"Today is September 18, 2010. There was never any assurance - let alone guarantee - that I would see this day. Yet here it is. And I am here. And I am deeply grateful."

Grateful for orange juice, fresh strawberries, kittens, sunrise over a cornfield, air-conditioning, king-size beds, good books, movies that take you away from the world, kids losing their baby teeth, holding my daughter's hands.
Grateful for my family. They are awesome. Greateful for my job, insurance, shelter. Grateful for good friends, little things that make me laugh, hearing a song a like on the radio. Grateful to any and all of you who have helped me through my sitch. I know we don't know eachother but there have been times where I have been so darn low and I will come on here to read your kind words of advice or I will feel like I am about to cry and read something hilarious and it brightens up my day. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
