Thankful Thursdays

I'm going to be completely honest. This has been a difficult week to be thankful. So this post is all the more necessary for my sanity :) And will include more than just one item I am thankful for.

#1 - I am thankful for the car seat in the back of my car and for the precious little boy that it keeps safe when we drive. Each glimpse of the car seat and precious moment spent reading or playing with my son has soothed my soul many times this week as I mourn the loss of my beautiful, predictable, healthy, 28 day cycles. If I am never ment to give birth to or adopt another child, this little boy makes that all right.


#2 - The Colorado fall this year. The leaves are starting to turn but the days remain warm... record setting warm... and I don't yet have to say good bye to the summer that I've desperately clung to this year.


#3 - Colorful bell peppers from the local Farmer's Market. Just looking at these beauties seriously makes me so happy to be alive I want to dance wildly with my arms up in the air. They are so full of beautiful color and flavor and I want to be just like them!

what happened to your cycle? I'll tell you what my dh always tells me when my body does things like that. "well different is good right? you didn't get pregnant with perfect cycles....so maybe you'll get pregnant with messed up cycles!" haha

email me and let me know what is up!

Even the smallest things are blessings, and I love that you notice them. Those are definetely beautiful peppers! Your son is the most precious of all! It's good to be thankful for them, even when unable to be thankful about other things.

Can't wait to see you soon....I am VERY thankful for that!

I've done this before - made a list of things to be thankful for in order to keep myself in the land of the sane:). Good for you. River is such a special boy and I am so happy you can continue to enjoy all the little things that make being his mom such a blessing. And those peppers look so yummy:).
