Thankfulness…I Was Here

Uncategorized

November 23, 2011

This year, more than ever before, I think I have an
abounding list of “things” to be thankful for…
An incredible husband–we celebrated 5 months of wedded bliss. Not a day goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars and God for bringing him in my life…he’s my best friend,  partner-in-crime, and I wouldn’t want to go through this adventure with anyone else.
A close-knit and supporting family. There is lots to say for a family that is as close as ours is. Sure, we’re all crazy in our own ways, but I am thankful for each one of them…they add so much to my life and I am a better person because I have them in my world.
The best friends a girl could ask for. Honest, sincere, caring, and always there when the going gets tough or when we’re celebrating exciting happenings in each others’ lives. There is no one like them and none could ever be replaced.
A job that brings me joy…there are good days and bad days with any type
of career, but my good days outweigh the bad and I am lucky to work for a
company that values and rewards its employees.

My health. Pregnancy thus far has been relatively easy and I am thankful for that. I’m healthy, trying to stay as active as possible, and just enjoying this exciting time in my life.

I am thankful for the men and women who sacrifice day in and day out to protect our country…they are so unselfish in what they give up for each and every one of us and I pray that they can return home safely to their family and friends.

Having a real relationship with God…He’s with me day in and day out and I know that no matter what happens, He is always looking out and watching over me. The older I get, the closer I feel to Him and I am so happy He is in my life.

And most of all, I am thankful to become a mother. A little less than 4 months to go until we meet our sweet Caroline and words cannot express the love, excitement, and joy I have in my heart to welcome this child into the world. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt she will be loved and showered with hugs and kisses and will know how happy we are she came into our lives. Nothing is going to be better than having a child of our own. 

My cup truly runneth over 😉

And on a semi-related topic, has anyone else heard this song from Beyonce titled “I Was Here”? This is an incredible song, a testiment to living each day to the absolute fullest, to touching hearts, to doing everything you wanted, to making a difference, bringing happiness to others, and leaving a mark. We should all be living this way…we’re never guaranteed a tomorrow, so live each day like it’s your last. OXOX
