I find this post ironic because about 15 minutes ago I was heck bent on venting and giving up on life. And then I stopped, said a sweet prayer and read some posts about how thankful everyone is. Ah, perspective.
As much as I wanted to rant and rave about the stresses of my life, I realized how blessed I truly am and how thankful I should be that I can even sit here and type this.
This year has been quite a ride to say the least. But I am ever thankful for:
My love, who I get to marry in 10 short days. Seriously love this man with all my heart.
The sweet baby bean growing inside my belly. Yes, little Evie, you are a blessing. I worry about you everyday and cannot wait to meet you. We are almost half way there!
My wonderful new job and co-workers. I kinda hit the work jackpot. I am challenged, respected, and supported everyday. Despite the drive that can get in the way every once in a while, the job makes it worth it.
My supportive friends. I would not be here without the love and support of those around me who constantly raise me up and remind me that He is good and He provides. Its truly takes a village to raise a child and I have the best village around.
So, today I choose to make the best of what wonderful gifts I have been bestowed and be thankful for the many blessings in life.
I hope that everything is okay, BOFF!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome list to be thankful for! I'm so excited to be there in 10 days to watch you marry the man of your dreams. SO ready to celebrate you too!
And lil Evie, where do I even begin. I already adore that lil peanut and she's still looking to make her appearance in the world. You look fabulous, lady, as always!
I love you! Happy to be part of your village and so thankful you are part of mine! I LOVE YOU!
Yay for focusing on the happies in life (and not the crappies). There will always be crappy things that happen, but you'll also always have friends around to support you and make things just a little bit better.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for your baby bean to make her appearance in this world so we can all shower her with attention and oohs and ahhs! :) Happy Thanksgiving (early), my sweet friend!!
I almost cried at work yesterday. And the reasons why I almost cried were related to our house and my job. Two things that millions of people in the US and around the world do not have. I am so THANKFUL to have them, even if they do cause stress! I hope that you have a fabulous Thanksgiving and I cannot wait to read your wedding re-cap posts :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had a tough morning today, friend. Hoping that everything is ok and that all is well! Sometimes it just takes a little something to completely change our perspective, and I am glad that that happened for you.
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute with your little Evie bump! 10 days and counting till the Winter wedding, woohoo!!! Love you so much and wishing you the very happiest of Thanksgivings!:)
