I jotted down this list in my journal 4am, as I held my breath with the hope that the slumbering little lady would stay that way outside of my arms. 🙂 I could tell at that hour that this was a day that could benefit from a healthy dose of positive thinking.
3 Things I’m Grateful For Right NowÂ
- A husband whose warmth I can steal when I slip back under the covers after those middle-of-the-night feedings. 🙂
- An 11-day-old baby girl who feels like she’s always been part of the family. And baby stretches. Lots of contented baby stretches to watch, captivated.
- Two boys who thrive on my attention. Sometimes the amount of attention they need can be draining, but with the right frame of mind, I find it an honor that their eyes sparkle when I watch them do somersaults or when I praise them for saying thank you out of the blue.
What’s one thing you’re grateful for today?Â
So many things to be thankful for: family, friends, home, jobs! But I’m thankful for gifted writers like YOU who touch my soul! Thank you. You’re a beautiful mother!
She is so beautiful, Erica, and I was touched when you said it felt like she had always been a part of your family. I can’t wait to meet her!
