Counting My Blessings: Week In Review

It was a whirlwind and busy week.  There were some days that didn’t go as planned and I got upset about some minor inconveniences.  Rarely do my days go exactly as I plan, but sometimes I do not react well when it changes (need to work on this more).  Especially thankful for a gracious husband and understanding people in my life who encourage me when I feel like things are flying apart.  There was so much to be thankful for last week.

I want to be accountable to you so the following are snip-its of some of the things I am thankful for this past week.  Counting My Blessings – Week In Review:

Monday – Thankful for the kids teachers (it was teacher appreciation week).  The girls decided what they wanted to get their teachers, wrote their own thank you notes, and delivered them.  Being a teacher isn’t always easy (neither is being a student at times), but we are thankful for the time the teachers invest into our kids.

Tuesday – Thankful for well behaved kids.  The girls had to go with me to one of my appointments and they sat patiently and quietly in the lobby for over an hour reading, drawing, and other activities while waiting on me to wrap things up.

Wednesday – Thankful that Brina may only have one more week with spacer adjustments.  She is getting close to where she needs to be positioned.  If she gets to the right spot by this week, she will just need to hold in that position for the next several months without any more nightly turning. Yay!

Thursday – Thankful for patient, understanding, and kind husband.  He listens.  He cares. Despite all my imperfections, failures, and the drama over the little stuff he still loves me.  I am truly blessed.

Friday – Thankful for my cousin Renelle.  It is always great having a chance to catch up with each other.  Even though there are many miles between us it is good to know that we can still stay in touch and encourage each other as we go through various stages in life.  She always knows how to make me laugh.  It is nice having someone you can bounce ideas off of and they don’t think your crazy!

What are you thankful for today?  I encourage you to take the time to write down a few blessings that you have in your life today.  It will help cheer you up and turn your focus on the amazing blessings you encounter each day!
