5 Days of Gratitude

On Facebook my Mother In Law had me do 5 days of gratitude. All you have to do is write something you are grateful for for 5 days. I figured I would share what I wrote on here as well. It's always nice taking a minute to think about all the great things in life. 

Day 1 of Gratitude. I am blessed to be married to the most amazing man and my best friend, Josh. He has always been the one for me, it just took him 10+ years to figure it out ;) He supports my decision to stay home with Ruby, and puts up with me when I am cranky. No matter what he is there for me and can always make me smile. Did I mention that he is the best father? Well he is and Ruby is head over heels in love with him...total Daddys girl. 
I am truly the luckiest person in the world to have found my soul mate. I could never love another man the way I love him. He is my past, present and my future. <3

Day 2 of Gratitude. I am so unbelievably grateful to have my beautiful daughter Ruby. She makes me smile all day long and keeps me on my toes. I absolutely love spending all day every day with her. I feel blessed to be able to have children, because I know there are a lot of people out there that can't. At one point I wasn't sure if I would be able to, so every day I am thankful that I can, and I will continue to do the best that I can for Ruby. I had no idea I could love someone so much before even meeting them, and the love grows everyday. ❤️

Day 3 of Gratitude. I am so lucky that I have such an amazing family. I don't know where I would be without each and every one of you. I get to spend time with my mother multiple times a week and get to Facetime my father almost daily. Without you guys I would not be the person I am today, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. My sisters, even if we dont get to spend as much time as we'd like to together, I am happy that we are all still close. I know we have had hard times as a family, but we came through so much stronger and closer than I could have ever hoped. 
All my Aunts, and Uncle, cousins and inlaws...I really made out like a bandit because I have the most wonderful family. I really do love you all, and am so happy that you are a part of my family and life. <3

Day 4 of Gratitude. Over the years I have had lots of friends come into my life. Some did not stay long, and some never left. One moved away and now we only talk on the phone (trying for weekly,) and see each other once a year. Some I see weekly at swim class and then playdates! Another one I see when we can sync up our schedules (sometimes months in advance) and go do something fun like the park or aquarium with the kids. Then there’s one that makes me beautiful once every 8 weeks and we try and see each other more but we are both so busy. All my ladies at the clinic…I miss you tons. Old friends and new friends, it doesn’t matter, I love you all, and am so happy to have each and every one of you in my life. To my old friends that I don’t see anymore, I think of you often and hope things are well, and will always be here if you need me. And that goes for all of you. My friends over the years have helped me so much, when I was sick, dealing with stupid exes, etc. I just want to say thank you for everything. You have all touched my life in one way or another, and I love you all. I am so grateful to have awesome friends <3

Day 5 of Gratitude. All my life I have loved animals. I have had a dog since I was 1 1/2 years old, and I always will. Currently we have 2 dogs, Scrappy Doo and Nikko, 3 cats, Brembo, Sookie and Buttons, and 2 lizards, Jack Jack and Calvin. Loving animals is who I am. They love me unconditionally and ask for nothing in return. They know when I'm sad and come and snuggle me and give me kisses. You are never alone if you have a pet. We are so lucky that they all get along (some pick on each other but all in fun) and they are all great with kids. I really couldn't ask for a better group of animals to have in our family. I love them all.
