I haven't written the past couple of night for a couple of reason. Neither of the reasons had to do with NOT finding something to be grateful for. That has becoming easier and easier to find. On March 12th, I was out celebrating my birthday! We didn't get back until late and at that point all I wanted to do was crash! On March 13th, I was dealing with all of my celebrating. I was pretty sick yesterday, but I am feeling much better today! All in all, I'm very grateful for my health. I know the past week has been a rough one on my gastro-track, in some form or another, but I knew it wasn't anything detrimental. I took it as a sign to lay off the heavy foods, find some time to just relax, and everything will fix itself. A week and a half later, I'm feeling much better. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm even more grateful that Ellie hasn't been dealing with all this mess. She's not that bad when she's not feeling well, but she does tend to get VERY clingy. That's more or less my cue that she's not feeling well. I am also grateful for my Mom. She's been listening to me vent out the same frustrations almost on a daily basis now. I know she's tired of hearing it, but she keeps picking up the phone, ready to listen. I can't say whether or not she feel unappreciated, but as far as I'm concerned, she's one of the highest standing women in my book! Why else would I go to her for EVERYTHING! She is my shoulder the cry on, my ears to listen, the support I need to help me stand when I feel like I can't get up. She is my everything and without her I wouldn't be who I am today. My mother is someone I will ALWAYS be grateful for. I love you, Mom. (Ha, now you're in blogger history!)
