I feel grateful today

September 26, 2011

For people who have blessed me lately. Yes, I am going to name a few (don't usually like to do this because I am always worried I will leave someone out accidentally! So if I do, I am sorry). This move has been hard, but I feel that because it's hard, I need to make an extra effort to focus on the good and express the good. I think it will help me :)

Laura--thanks for talking to me on the phone today and telling me I would not be normal if I didn't experience some feelings of depression/anxiety/whatever else with a move, pregnancy, and other stuff! I think it was good for me to hear that. Thanks for just talking and asking. And for helping me a few times in the last few weeks with such a good attitude.

Melissa--thanks for always checking up on me and being my friend.

Heather--thanks for caring and expressing sincere compliments and encouragement.

Matt--thanks for just being a nice brother. I miss you. I hope you are doing great in Germany!

Dad, and especially Mom--thanks for listening and telling me positive/encouraging things without judging. I appreciate it.

Blog people who write comments--thanks for your nice comments! Many of you have encouraged me through your writing :) I am really grateful for your uplifting words! (Not naming specific people because I am sure I would forget someone here..:)

Thanks Christy, Teresa, Erinn, Katy, Marianne, Marlene for writing me emails or giving me a phone call expressing willingness to help, thoughts, or just letting me know you are thinking of me.

Thanks to Matthew, Nathan, Mary, James, and John for everything.

And I know there are other people too who have blessed me, so thanks to you! I hope you have a great day.
