Gratitude

As easy as it is to lapse into woe and frustration at the state of things lately, I realize that I am very lucky. So I am just going to take a minute to contemplate my gratitude for the many good things that I enjoy in my life.

• The problem that could have lead to losing Wallis was discovered against all odds. And the doctor was able to successfully perform the procedure to keep her safely gestating.
• My awesome husband and son who give me so much joy and love despite our trials.
• Pops and Bobo who are providing Wyatt with what I cannot.
• My friends who have given me so many good thoughts, prayers, books, movies, food!, company, and support. I am really, really touched and appreciative of the love.
• My dear friends who have scored me some hand-me-down girl clothes for Wallis. I love free baby clothes and I am so happy not to have to buy many (or any).
• My boss. I am so very grateful to have a super wonderful boss and great job. I've been given nothing but support from my boss and my supervising attorney while I work from home. Not many people have this luxury and I am terribly grateful. I am going to be really sad when my boss retires. I love that woman. (And who loves their boss?)

I could go on and on. But that's enough gratitude for today. I am going to go stare at my precious sleeping son (they are all precious when sleeping, right?) and remind myself why this will all be worth it in a few months.
