Attitude of Gratitude...

Sometimes when we have hard times or find ways to think our life might not be completely fair it's easy to forget our blessings.  I feel like I've been doing that lately.  Worrying and focusing on my frustrations with infertility again.  I've been able to "forget" it or pretend it away for the last few years with my girls and so starting up again with the hope and desire for a success and a new child has opened a lot of previous emotion, thinking and feelings again.  Dislike for my body, disappointment in our situation, fear of being a failure again...you know the list.

But I am so often reminded of my blessings too.  As I look forward to the excitement my girls show for Thanksgiving dinners (Kendall wants to eat the "whole turkey") and Christmas lights that are turning on it reminds me I have all I ever wanted.  I am grateful to go into this holiday season with my family, immediate and extended.  I am going to try to keep this attitude of gratitude and be grateful (and not worry) throughout the rest of this year and hopefully into next.  Happy Thanksgiving to anyone reading this!
