Why I'm Thankful

This post was written Tuesday night after a long day that tried my patience.

Mr. A is experiencing GI issues with the antibiotic he’s taking.

I’m thankful that he’s recovering well from his tonsillectomy and the antibiotics have prevented any infection.

I’m thankful that yogurt helps off-set the GI side effects from antibiotics.

My Sweetie has the stomach flu.

I’m thankful that no one else in the family has gotten it.

I’m especially thankful that Mr. A hasn’t gotten the flu because of the wet scabs in the back of his throat. Plus we all know his stance on suppositories.

I’ve kinda become a germ-a-phobe in attempts to keep my family from getting sick.

I’m thankful someone invented a hands-free soap dispenser.



G-Man feels perfectly fine and is driving all of us nuts.

I’m thankful that he’s a healthy, active, and inquisitive young man.

I’m also thankful that the driving range is only a few minutes away.



My mother had cataract surgery today.

I’m thankful that both of my parents are healthy and by this time next week Mom will have 20/20 vision.

I’ve used up all my sick days and I took a vacation day to stay home with my family today.

I’m thankful that I have a job that I enjoy and it provides excellent benefits.

I’m so tired.

I’m thankful for the big comfy bed I share with my husband every night.

Some days I feel totally overwhelmed.

I’m thankful that I can escape into the blogs written by my online friends.

Some days I want to cry.

I’m thankful for all the people in my life who love me.

Wow! Great "glass-half-full" view on a truly CRAPPY day. Glad Mr. A is doing well. Hopefully S. will be on the mend. Tell Mrs. A, "Happy Healing". Good Vibes and wishes to the WHOLE PLRH Family.

See, this is part of why I love you; you're such a positive person. Even on an obviously trying day!

***great big hugs***

Sometimes when we get overwhelmed like this, listing the things were are thankful for is immensely helpful.

I'm very happy that you're keeping in touch with that list, I think it's important and will keep you from getting too cranky. ;o)

*more hugs*

Hang in there!

That soap dispenser looks cool, how does it work??

You reminded me I have so much to be thankful for also. Sorry things have been so rough lately. But leave it to you to look at in a good light.

G-Man that is an awesome looking swing.

Also where did the soap dispenser come from? That is one awesome germ killing machine.

Nice way to remind us that there are things to be thankful for, even though we are having bad days.
