10

  1. I am grateful for the growth of my relationship with my husband. We are both open to hear where the other person is coming from and discuss our feelings about it instead of assigning blame.

  2. I am grateful for morning conversations with my mother. I love knowing that her life is still as active and vibrant as ever. It brings me joy, even though I regularly tell her to “slow it down.”

  3. I am grateful for the bath my husband made me this morning to soothe my aches and pains.

  4. I am grateful for new friends that I am meeting through our homeschooling co-op. These women are strong, talented, dynamic, and dedicated. They are beautiful.

  5. I am grateful for time spent with my sister-friend yesterday and the connection that we are able to share between ourselves and our families.

  6. I am grateful for having such amazingly talented siblings. A writer. An artist. A tech guru. A “she got it all” (mom, counselor, designer, vibe-finder…man, I love her).

  7. I am grateful for the opportunity to tell my story today.

  8. I am grateful for my good health.

  9. I am grateful for two amazing children entrusted to me.

  10. I am especially grateful for the modern convenience of a hot bath.

+1 I am grateful that my husband understands that when I say, “I can’t” it isn’t from a place of weakness but of knowing myself. And he always, ALWAYS, stands in the gap for me.
