I am very fortunate in my life and like many I do take it for granted sometimes.
They news reported the the umployment rates may jump to 10% but I feel thankful that I not only have one job but I have two jobs and instead of complaing about how much I work I am thankful that I have jobs and money coming in and good health benefits.
I am also thankful for my husband. Things have not been so great between us since we lost the baby - to the point where I was even thinking of leaving him in May - but we are learning and communicating and trying to work on our marriage - we have been together 10 years and I hope we can stay together a lifetime. I am thankful today for his love.
I am thankful for family - I do not have much of a family but my husband has a huge family - and my SIL - John's youngest sister just had her first baby two days ago - he is healthy and beautiful - and yes I am sad because our children would of only been one month apart and would of grown up together - but I am happy for her - that she has started her own little family and both she and the baby are doing well.
I am so thankful that my brother and his wife decided to work things out and not get a divorce - they seem happier than ever now. Sometimes we just need time away from each other to realize what we have.
I have a husband who loves me and is willing to work on our marriage and life together, I have two jobs - granted they may not be the best working situations but they put money in my pocket and pay my bills. I have great friends and the support of wonderful women which I have never met in real life but have come to care for online. I have a lovely home and I know one day I will have the family I so desire. My time will come.
What are you thankful for today??

Most definitely my husband. And my friends and family who support me. And for the community I've met here. And, to have a job and a roof over my head and a full tummy.
Glad you are feeling good Jackie, and look forward to our lunch date soon!
I just recently did a post similar to this one. And when we go through this infertility mess, it simetimes makes us soooo focused on what we dont have- we loose sight of what we DO have! I love that you took time out to write this today! You do have a wonderful life- I have a wonderful life, and the Lord knows our hearts' desire- and he WILL make us mommies someday! I can just feel it!
Way to go Jackie!
Your right...we do tend to think about what we don't have instead of what we do have.
