Counting My Blessings: No. 452

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.

    That sounds like a wonderful blessing.

    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.

    My blessings? Besides the obvious and biggest (my family)…I am thankful for good music that I identify with and that motivates me.

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

    God bless whoever came up with iced coffee. Delish!

    I don’t get constipated when pregnant. TMI?

    My blessing: that my dad taught me lots of mechanical tricks.

    This morning my 19-year-old volvo DROPPED THE MUFFLER on the highway. so i duct-taped it back on and drove home with the music on really loud and my sunglasses on to avoid the pointing and staring. sheesh.

    I grateful for a friend who asked me to go have a pedicure with her today. I need some girl time desperately.

    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.

  14. Issa Says:

    That is a nice thing.

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

  15. Irene Says:

    My blessing is that the medications I am on all seem to be in sync with each other, giving me many restful and contented days.

    Healthy x 5

    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.

  18. jen Says:

    food in the fridge!

  19. Lindsay Says:

    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.
