Operation Grat-itude:

An experiment on how being grateful for the little things can improve this chicks perspective. Documenting my personal list of things that were awesome, and grrr-eat about my world.


P.S. Someday I will take over the world!

I have been sleeping for several days. Sleeping off crummy stomach issues (candida die-off is ROUGH!!) and a cold/flu...at the same time. GROSS is how I would describe myself in the past few days. But am feeling semi-human again, just in time for the blizzard of November. I kinda heart blizzards. The chaos, the unknown, the cozy feeling of being inside, all warm, and gazing out into the whirly, white stuff.  So, today I'm thankful for blizzards, flu medicine, ginger ale, tea, slow cookers, a vehicle that works this winter (fingers crossed, knocking on wood) Christmas tunes, rice (the one think i kept down), my Love for doing everything while I was outta commission and still loving me, even when I am gross, my Mommsie for helping with my upcoming rent, my co-workers and boss for chipping in and helping out when I couldn't make it in and being understanding about it always. To my immune system...I know you do what you can, and you're always busy. But I am trying to help you...so hang in there.

Remember

I've had a long week, so this is coming late.

This week, I'm thankful for progress...those little steps forward, for information, and for 'trying.'

But most of all this week I'm grateful for The Soldier. I'm grateful that I live in a country of great men, and women whom stand up for my freedom. The reasons I live in such an amazing, free country full of new discoveries and opportunity and can offer a place where people are free to think, say and be whom they want to be, to my children, and hopefully childrens children and so forth is because of The Soldier.

I'm am humbled. I am eternally grateful for your sacrifices and bravery.

We are all in this together.


Without getting into a lot of personal detail, I have much to be grateful for.

There could never be enough thank-you's, or just the right words, but I can certainly try.

 The devotion and kindness of others, whom spend thier lives helping to improve the lives of children and parents alike, deeply humbles me. Because of these people, a young life and a family may be saved. For my mother, whom is the most inspiring, kind and supportive woman. To be a mother, I need my own and without fail she is there. To my large, loving family - immediate and extended  - whom love me, and OUR girl unconditionally. Although we may not see each other in person, your love is all around, each and every moment, giving us wings when we forget how to fly. To my dear friends, near and far. Your never ending support, encouragment and love is the fuel that keeps me going. To my Love, who carries my heart, in his heart. As long as we are facing in the right direction, with you by my side I know we will get there, together. With you at my side, I can accomplish anything. Your strength give me strength.
And most of all to my beautiful daughter.  I would give my very life for you, in a mere heartbeat, because you ARE my heartbeat. I am immeasurably proud of you. Your strength and courage are qualities that I admire so much in you. You are smart, capable, loveable, marvelous, funny, passionate, brave, generous, and absolutely loveable. The amazing person you are takes my breath away in awe. You ARE my everything, and I will forever be thank-ful for you. Let your beautiful smile shine, and it will light up the entire world. I love you, always and forever and forever and always.
