Over the next few weeks, I’ll be counting my blessings great and small, in an effort to remind myself that my life is, indeed, not just good but great. Feel free to share your own blessings in the comments.

My blessing after having my 9 1/2 lb. girls was a surgical glove full of ice clutched between my legs for 48 hours straight.
My blessing tonight, when my husband is out of town for 5 days, is two children asleep before 9pm and the Olympics on TV. Oh, and God bless Pepperidge Farm.

My blessing, being able to do laundry at any hour of the day or night. I shudder when I remember what it was like to go to the laundry mat or when we rented and my washer and dryer was on my landlord’s side of the duplex so I was limited to what days and when I could come and use “MY” appliances!

Oh I wish I’d had one of those chairs after D was born. Those showers were painful and tiring.

Giving birth-wise, I’m forever thankful for epidurals and excellent anesthesiologists (I called mine “the candy man”).

I am blessed to have multiple ways to get to work: bike (fun), train (fast), or bus (free). It’s awesome to have so many options. I’ve even worked from home a few times!

That I have my soul mate by my side every day, my family healthy and near me, and wonderful sister-in-laws with beautiful nieces & nephews when I have no sisters of my own, just my wonderful big bro.

Mine is: my baby girl telling me this morning that she loves preschool, but she misses me when she’s there.

And, if I arrive to the restaurant late, Sean knows exactly what to order so that when the waiter walks up and I think I have to order something that will arrive 10 minutes after everyone else eats he says, “We’ll have that toasted wheat, turkey club with extra mustard for you in just a minute,” and as I go to say something he says,”Here’s your lemonade.”

*hugs* I hope the pain subsides soon!
Mine is having the opportunity to send Carter to daycare three days a week so he can socialize and I can bond with Hudson.

I am thankful for the power of the written word and its ability to provide an outlet, an opportunity for healing, and an escape when desperately needed.
