Yes, the title is a little flat. It's time for my "Thankful" blog....and I'm having trouble finding something to be thankful for this morning. A little back story: Over something incredibly stupid, Matty and I fought last night. And he slept on the couch. Really. So this morning....well, I was/am still cranky. But, I'm going to give this a whirl.
I'm thankful I'm breathing.
I'm thankful my kids are breathing.
I'm thankful my granddaughter is breathing.
Ok, I'm thankful Matty is breathing. (honest)
I'm thankful Murphy has let the puppy live and I haven't found her shaken to death by her neck.
I'm thankful for the spider guy.
I'm thankful for German boys who send chocolate.
I'm thankful that I realized this year that our "colt" girl has it in her to be shaken to her core.
I'm thankful I am "Beloved" in blue and Kaily is "Imperfect" in purple.
I'm thankful for my friends...ones who remind me to breathe as a needle jabs into my shoulder continuously.
I'm thankful my son in law moved her so I could be with Hillary when Reya was born.
I'm thankful for Logan.
I'm thankful to Harriet....she created the path that led to my high school graduation.
I'm thankful that Emily is keeping a (somewhat) level head at college.
I'm thankful that the yumminess of Thanksgiving dinner is right around the corner! Lots of food, treats and killer bunnies!
Oh, yes...I'm thankful for Killer Bunnies. And for Jess, who talks in a funny accent when she gets to choose a carrot.
I'm thankful I'm still here...alive and able.
I'm thankful for Hawk Nelson...what a treat for Chellsei!
I'm thankful that I got to go to Disneyland. AGAIN!
I'm thankful.
Things I am NOT thankful for:
fights
outhouses
still speedos
beets and butterscotch
spiders (hence the spider guy)
puppy training....and puppy eating everything in sight
when Murphy acts like he's going to grab puppy by her neck and shake her to death
sleepless nights with hubby on couch
taking the yuckies out of the turkey....ewwwww!
Something I am ALWAYS thankful for:
God
His infinite wisdom and grace
that He allows me to live, raise His children and have another chance at being a good wife
that He holds my hand, I am never alone
So, the moral to this list is: Just because it doesn't seem to work, doesn't mean it's broken. This morning is a "flat" morning for me...doesn't have to be a "flat" day. And I'm thankful for that....I get a "Begin Again".
Thank you for reading....for sticking with me, for loving me through my honesty. I am thankful for you, unknown friends. God bless you and keep you!
thankful for stretchy pants....
