I am grateful for bacon and eggs…that I did not cook… in bed… at midnight. And I am grateful for a husband who is also my best friend. And I am grateful for extra strength Tylenol.

I am grateful for a husband who insists on giving me an essential oil massage so I can be comfortable enough to get a good night’s sleep. And for that feeling of relief that happens when you wake up from a bad dream and realize it was only a dream. And for decaf coffee with heavy whipping cream… guilt free. And for the feeling that the life we are living is better than any I ever escaped to in imagination during my childhood. And for clean sheets on a freshly-made bed.

I am grateful for having a home, especially one that I really love. Also for puppy breath, because I know that it is fleeting. And for this mind-numbing pain in my ribs, because it means the baby is growing big and strong, and maybe it will help raise my pain tolerance level.

I am grateful that God brought me to my soulmate, the most wonderful man I’ve ever met.

The Point
This is my Grateful Project blog. It may be a little bit cheesy, but it doesn’t mind. You could probably call it cheesy to it’s face, and it would understand, because it has probably mocked other cheesy Project blogs in the past. These things do come around.
The goal is to write at least ONE thing I am grateful for each day, starting on Thanksgiving, for a year. Bonus points if it is something that I would prefer to complain about, but have found the good in instead. Who is keeping track of these points, and indeed, their very purpose, is a mystery. Jesus? Drew Carey? I have no idea, but I like bonus points so we’re keeping them in here.
And hopefully I will become calmer and less whiny, more appreciative of life, certainly more attractive… all through the magic of blogging and purposeful thinking.
