Today, I am thankful...

With the events of yesterday I have decided that today I will be thankful, not stressed out, not angry, not worn out. Today, I will be thankful that I have a VERY healthy, happy, loved and loveable 2 1/2 year old DS, the true love of my life. Today, I will not count the hours to bedtime, but cherish each and every moment I get to spend with my precious gift. Today, DS might eat ice cream for dinner and fruit snacks before bed. Tonight, I will let him cuddle with me in bed, and maybe even break the "no sleeping with Mommy" rule.... Tonight, I will hug and kiss DS before bed and pray for MANY more todays, tomorrows and tonights to come!

Today, I will not think about all of the things that normally drive me NUTS about DH. Today, I will think back to our wedding day and years before now with only good thoughts and loving memories. Tonight, I will go home, prepare dinner and give DH a kiss when he walks through the door and tell him how grateful I am for the life and family we have created. Tonight, I won't just go through the motions counting down the minutes until I get to climb into bed, alone, and watch TV by MYSELF for just 15 minutes. Tonight, I will take that time and just talk to DH, or not, but just BE with him.

Lauren, I pray that you and Logan find peace and know that Scott is no longer suffering. But I do have to say thank you for sharing your journey with us at this most difficult time in your life. Because of you, I am going to do my best to not take ONE MINUTE for granted.

Re: Today, I am thankful...

Very well written...

I'm going to try to do the same.

It's so important to live in the moment- something I'm not very good at, but trying to get better.
