Babies from Africa, Friends feeling better, Good signs

Quick one today...

I am thankful for:


1. Babies from Africa :)

2. Friends who are feeling better :)

3. That sometimes, sucky, uncomfortable things are good signs - and I remember this.

Feeling good, making decisions, mother in law

1. I wasn't feeling great last week, but this week I'm feeling back to my old self for the most part. I'm thankful for feeling so good!

2. I'm grateful that hubby and I came to the same decision about our adoption paperwork. It's a little scary at first to realize you're going to let everything expire, but it's the better alternative than renewing them over and over again.

3. Hubby was on the phone with his mother today having a grand old time. She is a great lady, and I'm very thankful that she's such a good person and that we get along SO well! I love her!

Good medical staff, my self esteem, hubby

1. I recently had a routine Dr's visit and it's AMAZING what a difference it makes when everyone working at the office is NICE and friendly!!! I am so thankful for the staff at my doctors office!

2. I am reminded daily of what a person is like when they lack self esteem, because I work with someone who is so lacking, there should be a sign over her head wherever she walks. Because if this, she is nearly intolerable to be in the same room with, because the way she defends her inability to believe in herself is to try to make everyone else feel like an asshole while they're in her presence. I am soooo grateful that I'm so confident and never, EVER feel the need to put others down to make myself feel better.

3. I know I thank him a lot, but hubby has pulled out all the stops lately with this house cleaning stuff he's got going on. He is truly amazing with all he does and I am blessed beyond belief to have him.

1. I am incredibly thankful for the level of confidence I've had lately... it's very comforting!

2. I am unbelievably grateful for my hubby who has been doing every single little thing around the house... I'm sooooo lucky!

3. I'm thankful that the Giants pulled it off last night!!! On to the superbowl!!!!!

Love this...

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.

Tasty lunch, understanding friends, my capable body

1. I haven't been feeling well lately and was home from work yesterday. Today I was feeling better, but still had no appetite. Finally, just before I was set to go to lunch, it occurred to me that I can get some bland food at my favorite sushi joint down the block. I ordered Miso soup, a salad with avocado & miso dressing, and white rice. It was sooooo tasty and I am soooo thankful to have found something that didn't make me want to hurl...lol.

2. I'm (most likely) going away to Atlanta in Feb and a friend of mine (who I adore) lives in Nashville. When I mentioned to her that I'd be there and when, she was so excited and asked if she could drive the 3 hours to Atlanta to spend some time with me. I initially told her yes, but after thinking about it, I have no idea what's planned or if I'll even have time to spend with her. I casually mentioned this to her and she understood immediately. I am thankful for mature, self secure, and understanding friends.

3. Again, I'm am constantly amazed at what my body is capable of. Even though I haven't been feeling good these past few days, just when I need to feel better, I do. When I have time to relax and rest, and do, I immediately feel better. I am ever grateful for this body of mine.

A good read...

Got this in my email this morning... Since big brother is still here (I'm still training someone at my desk...lol), this is all I have time to post today, but it's great!

Smooches to you all!!!

Sorry...

I'm training someone at work, which is mostly when I blog...lol. Training her means that she is sitting next to me, viewing everything on my monitor at all times - I can't email, web surf, blog, read blogs, look at porn... nothing (Yeah, right! ROFL!). So I'm sorry for my absence so quickly after getting back here, but it's unavoidable.

So, on with my three thanks!

1. I am thankful for my own assertiveness and that I stand up for what I need.

2. Hubby has been doing so much around the house that he became the primary cleaner and house keeper, and I became the slug. I am so thankful to have a husband who will do everything around the house, including making my dinner while I sit on my fat arse...lol. It's not intentional at all - I didn't even realize I've been slacking until yesterday. I'm trying to turn that around (got a load of laundry in and I just scrubbed the potty!), but in the meantime, I'm grateful for all of his hard efforts.

3. I'm thankful for old friends who decided to get back in touch with me - they always have great news to share (seriously!) and I'm always so overjoyed for them!

State of calm, a helpful husband, good soup

1. I am extremely grateful for my state of calm. Some things make me very anxious, some things don't. Lately, nothing does. And for that, I'm grateful.

2. Hubby stayed home from work yesterday and when I got home, the Christmas tree was put away, some of the gifts put away, and the whole downstairs vacuumed. I am very thankful for my helpful hubby!

3. I scored a huge bag of pre-chopped kale at BJ's last week and the expiration date was growing nearer. I decided today to just fudge a pot of soup made with whatever I had in my cupboards. Black beans, kale, diced roasted tomatoes, onions, garlic, chicken broth and some corn and I had myself some kick ass soup - and, it's incredibly healthy to boot! I am thankful for my really great cooking skills!

A long, long time ago...

... I used to post here...lol. I'm not really sure why I stopped - I guess the only thing I could blame it on is the holidays taking over and my getting totally sidetracked.

But a recent someone has made mention that they miss the three thanks, so I'm back today to post some.

So today, here are my Three Thanks:

1. I am eternally grateful for good surprises that have happened recently for me and for a few of my friends... (nothing specific, just different things that were great surprises)

2. I am thankful for how healthy I am after these hectic holidays! Everyone I know is sick!

3. I am thankful for my fabulous husband, whom I've been married to for 5 years today!
