Reflections on the Year

It is the very last day of 2011.  I can't say I'm extremely sorry to see this year go. It hasn't been the worst of my years, but I can surely say it has not been the best either.   I am hoping that 2012 has good things in store.

Day 30

Wrapping up the month, and the 30 days of gratitude...I could not have asked for a better day to say goodbye to November.  What a day to be grateful for.

Day 29

Throughout the month of November, I've received several sweet gifts from people, whether they be words, or objects, in regards to our baby, Adaiah.
While I am so grateful for the gifts in and of themselves, I am even more grateful for what is behind the gifts.

24 thru 28

I'm a little sad to be wrapping up this 30 day gratitude project.  I am so blessed that for 28 days now, I've been able to come up with something that I am grateful for.  Really, I could do this project for the rest of my life, and never have a day where I can't find something.  And what's really cool, is that often, my gratitude isn't just for things.  I want to keep that in mind, especially moving into the Christmas season. It's about so much more than just things. (I'll save that for another post though)

Trouble Keeping Up

I seem to be having difficulties with this posting every day thing. If I'm slow on here, you can keep up on my facebook if you want. I've managed to post there everyday at least.  Anyway, here we go:

Day18

Today, I am grateful for good health.  I know that most days, I take my health for granted. It's just not something I think much about when I'm feeling "normal."

I'm also thankful that I have a healthy family.  I don't have to worry about administering medications, or keeping on track with therapy routines, or making alterations to the house to accommodate any illnesses/special needs. I would gladly do so for anyone in my family if the need for it were there, but today I will just be thankful for the good health we have been granted so far, and make the most of it.

Day 17

I know this post will sound a little shallow, but I'm going to go ahead and say it anyway.

Today, I am thankful for websites like Pinterest which inspire my creative side. In looking through the boards, I've found so many fun ideas for Christmas. I cannot wait to decorate the house, make Christmas cards, and get gifts put together!  There are so many good ideas out there, and I'm feeling pumped for the holiday season!

Is anyone else getting excited yet?
