I have not been around much lately, and so I have been trying to sneak back in here and there in other people's threads. Really, I have been going through a whole lot of ish, so much so that I feel like I am trying to push back against an ocean. While I can't deny that part of my life, I want to focus today on some things I a thankful for.
Will you join me in that?
I am thankful that after more than 4 years, I am still filled with an irrepressible happiness at the thought of my FI, and that I have to smile to myself because I am so full of love.
I am thankful for having a shark loving, science obsessed, bookworm of a brainiac for a kid. It took her all of about 6 guesses to figure out FI got her a shark fossil for her birthday, and she was ecstatic. (An Otodus obliquus tooth fossil to be exact.) I have no idea how she, in all of her fabulousness, emerged from my womb 9 years ago from Monday, but I haven't screwed her up too bad yet, and I am so thankful for that!
I am thankful for my family, with all of their faults and flaws, and even though they drive me to distraction. They have dependably been there with love and support.
I am thankful for both milk and dark chocolate, because they never make be try to chose between them.
I am thankful for the ladies of NEY, even though I haven't opened up much on here, when I have asked for T&P, you have given them; when I had news to celebrate, you have been excited with me. I thank you!
