As 2011 has come to a close and I have had time to ponder this passing year of my existence, I noticed that I was quicker to focus on the stress of life. I noticed that I stopped being grateful and I will be focusing 2012 on my gratitude.
Part of the way I will remind myself to blog daily is to write a daily gratitude post. Today I will include two as yesterday I was knocked on my behind with a massive migraine.
Surprisingly, there was much to be grateful about that migraine. My husband lovingly teaching our kiddo to ride her motorcycle outside so I could crash on the couch. Good location, I am aware, to take up the main room in the house when you need dark and quiet - but the loves of my life kept me pretty comfortable. I am grateful that my beautiful daughter wanted to comfort me, and that when I threw up - she kept telling me that it was ok... What a wonderful caring child we have!
Today I am grateful that I woke up with only a dull throbbing in my head. I survived the migraine without needing to get any shots - because that just makes my skin crawl. I am grateful that my husband is able to spend another day at home with our daughter and that they were able to take my parents out for breakfast this morning. They have been such a big help to us since we've moved here almost 5 years ago and I can't imagine how we would have made it through the lean times with out them.
My wish for everyone is health and happiness, and the ability to recognize all the good surrounding us.
