I'm grateful that (for now) because I am able to stay home with E, we can linger around the house in our PJ's eating breakfast or doing whatever at whatever pace we choose ...I know that all around us people are hustling and bustling and getting their kids to daycare or school and we get to just "be" and live in the moment.

That E's immune system seems to be stronger than it was!

That E has a magnetic, social and bubbly personality other kids love.

For the relationship between DH and DS and to be able to see DH through DS's eyes makes me love him even more!

I could go on and on. Anyone want to join and share all the positive things in your life?

I'm grateful that my two wee Grandbabies are safe with me.

Im grateful that I have a job that pays the bills and that enables me to be at home with my DS and my grandkids.

I'm grateful that my partner Mike is hands on and even though we don't live together right now, he is super involved with our lives on a minute by minute basis.

I'm grateful that my babies have early intervention so that we can better help them become the best that they can be.

I'm grateful that I have a new grandson born yesterday and that mommy and baby are well.

I too could go on and on, but I'll let somebody else take a turn.

It's nice to start a rainy day by remembering all I have to be grateful for.

[Daisy1339]

I'm grateful that I married such a great guy!

I'm grateful that I didn't wake up with a headache.

I'm grateful that I found a copy of my old CARI form so I don't have to research my addresses since 1981, AGAIN.

I'm grateful that my pug is feeling much better.

[Stormster]

I often wake up with headaches too! I found that pretty much 100% of the time it happened when either I drank OR the ceiling fan was on. Isn't that weird (about the ceiling fan?)

[Daisy1339]

Storm, I get sore throats from the ceiling fan, sometimes!

I usually get headaches when it's humid and about to rain. Isn't that the barometric pressure or something? I don't know. I'm glad I don't have one, that's for sure!

[aclee]

I'm grateful that we leave in two days to get Matty.
I'm grateful he will have the best big brother a boy could want!
I'm grateful DH is such a hands on fabulous father and husband.
I'm grateful for the people around me that keep me going during stressful times. (with pee stories...inside joke)
I'm grateful I'll be a SAHM, even if it doesn't last forever!
I'm grateful for DH awesome stable job that makes so much in our lives possible

I am grateful (as always) that Cameron can breathe on his own.

I'm thankful that my son is incredibly stubborn and refuses to be beaten by congenital heart disease.

I'm thankful that Cameron is functioning incredibly well despite only one lung working properly and that he's been VERY happy since they got that stent it.

I'm thankful that his heart is cooperating (for the most part).

I'm thankful for our Children's hospital and their hybrid cath lab.

Thankful for my supportive family.

The past couple of days I've been feeling overwhelmingly grateful for my children being safe and healthy. A couple of days ago, 2 and 3 year old siblings drowned while under their grandparents' care. That hit me so hard. I've been feeling sick and horrified about the whole thing and continue to be terrified of my children drowning. I've been thinking so much about those parents and grandparents and what they are going through right now as I hold and kiss and tickle my children. I hear my child giggle and think "my God, what if I could never hear that sound again . . .".

[Quesita]

I am grateful to have a job I love, I home I love, a community that I love, and a daughter who I love more than life itself.

I am grateful that Liana is starting pre-school in September. She has been in wonderful daycare, but she is so ready for her world to get bigger.

I am grateful that Liana and i have so much fun together. Museums, walks to the park, even when I drag her off to work-related social events (like last night) she has a blast and I have a blast. Lazy afternoons in front of the TV. Trips to the frozen yogurt place. Even during our first big vacation together, an amazing cruise, she was just so much fun to be with. She is so joyous, and her joy is contegious.

I am grateful that I think diaper days are over!!!!

There are so many other things I am grateful for. Things that it is easy to forget that much of the world doesn't have. I am literate. I have leisure time to think and read and play with my daughter and poke around on the computer. I have running water that is clean and endless. I have never known hunger. When it is too hot, my home is cooled. When it is bitter cold outside, my home is warm.

There is much to be grateful for.
