1. I'm so lucky that I met my husband. Sometimes things are hard, and I wonder how we even ended up together! But most of the time, the majority of the time, I realize just how lucky we are that we found each other. Our problems are just a drop in a bucket, and the bucket is filled with love, happiness, and laughter.
2. I'm also so grateful that I have my son. Sometimes, especially when he was younger, I would wonder what I was thinking! It only happened rarely, though. I never thought I was a person that should have children, but every day I am reminded just how lucky I am that he is in my life. I'll never forget it.
3. I am grateful that I'm friends with SCSL. It has been so amazing to have a friend that accepts me exactly as I am. I felt an immediate connection when we met, and I am so glad that he felt the same way. He is such a joy in my life, and always able to pull me out of a funk.
4. I am grateful that I have a full time job. It is very helpful to be able to know exactly how much money you will be making and be able to plan what to do with a regular paycheck. It is also nice to know exactly what hours I'll be working, and be able to plan around that or ask for time off if needed.
5. I'm grateful for having RJK and ER in my life. Meeting them was the best part of the most useless convention I've ever attended. I'm so grateful that I spent hours sitting next to RJK and talking, and that it wasn't busy with customers or clients. At the time it didn't seem great, but it turned out to be one of the best $50 I've ever spent. They are both such a wonderful presence in my life, and so rad, and keep me on my toes. Rawr!!
6. I'm so grateful for all of the time we spent with my grandfather. Sometimes, it didn't seem like it made much difference. But then again, he seemed so much happier after seeing us so often. He wasn't always happy to see us, but didn't seem so depressed. I think, or hope, that he really liked that we wanted to see him every week. I miss him a lot, but I'm very thankful for all of the time we had with him.
7. I am so grateful for my dad's brother and sisters. I'm always so happy when I see them. They feel very much like my family, and like my "people." They accept me as I am, make me feel welcome and wanted, and I'm so thankful that they feel that way.
8. Whenever I am with my mom and DH, I'm so happy. They are such a joy when they are together, and it is so beautiful to me to see their friendship and how much they care about and complement each other. I always feel so lucky when they let us spend time with them! Especially when DH invited us to stay at her home and go to a Packer game. It was so generous of her, and I still feel very thankful for that wonderful weekend we had in Green Bay.
9. I am sure I have missed some people, but these are very important people in my life. I feel grateful for each and every one of them every day, and when I write "I am grateful for my friends and family," there is much more too it in my mind! I think of each and every one of them, and others as well. I'm so thankful that I have so many blessings in my life.
