Gratefuls

Okay, so I had my I wish post, and I already got a mean comment- IT IS A BLOG-- not an insight into my soul. Please be kind. Here are the things I am grateful for.

*MY Husband- he is a wonderful man and is constantly seeking to improve himself
*My daughter- She is the coolest kid I know. She amazes me every day with what she is capable of learning.
*My home- While it is only a rental, it is a roof over our heads- and even though we can hardly afford it, it is a good amount of space.
*My Friends- We are all busy with our families, or they are far away, but we are there for each other- and I appreciate them GREATLY
*My Family - While they are nuts, and they drive me insane at times, we are all close, and they are always there for me.
*Our car- It is a good car. And while we have to share it, it has been good to us and gets us where we need to go safely.
*The food on our Table- I know there are families that don't get to eat every meal, and while we eat the same thing a lot, there is always enough for each of us and we never have to sacrifice a meal
*Our ability to give- We try to always give a little money every month to a charity or a friend in need. We could keep the money and do something fancy or fun- but what good would that do anyone?
*Our Bed and Blankets- They are heavy, warm and soft. Not everyone is blessed with that.
*My Extras- Cookies loves them like sisters, and they show me that I want more children. I love them both dearly.
*My Miscarriage- While it hurts, and I find myself sad when I look at women's bulging bellies and think "that could be me", I can now relate to so many women in a way I could not before. Trying for a baby is HARD, and often sad. I didn't understand that before.
*Sticks to pee on... And the people who are sweet enough to buy them for me- because they are just as hopeful for the next baby as I am, and that warms my heart in ways they don't know.
*Bloggers- You all keep me humble. Thank you for taking the time to type out the wonderful things that you do.
*There are a million more things I am grateful for- and they FAR outweigh the "I wishes".... I would type all day, but I think you would be sick of me by the time I was done- if you aren't already!

You're not an ungrateful person, and it's ridiculous if anyone made you out to be one. To that person, I puke on you.

I'd LOVE your help deciding on my gear issues. You'll be hearing from me every 10 seconds until you want to kill me!

Both of those are great lists and everyone has things on their wish list, I'm sure. (I know mine is probably a mile long) How stupid of someone to make an idiotic comment. Anyway, great lists and I love that photo of your little princess! :o)
