  When it happened though - I was not a grateful person at all. I was a bit and   and then to DH with his refusal of the smoothies I made for both he & his brother.   I think the protein powder was the culprit to sink the ship of deliciousness - so back to the drawing board I go

Today I am grateful for :

1. Having previous experience and wisdom to deal with a situation at work & keeping my calm
2. Meditating in the bright early morning sunshine (for a whole 20 minutes!!)
3. DH's reminders and keeping tabs on our monthly budget
4. Wonderful pictures from a co-worker from a wedding we attended this weekend
5. Our garden which provided a considerable amount of goodness for my lunch today
6. Keeping a promise to myself to go for a walk at 1:30pm this afternoon

Today I am grateful for:

- having the ability and means to follow my instinct and do what I think is right even when others may not agree- and to feel right about listening to my own self.

- my beautiful son

- good food

- a long clarifying talk I had with dh today

- a trip out of town we took recently in which I gained meaningful perspective on my current situation and saw how some of my challenges were actually more circumstantial than internal

Feeling seriously happy with this moment right now  and also knowing that things change,   often quickly- so just enjoying this moment while I have it!!

Today I am super grateful because:

-last night we moved into a new home after living in a few different awful places, and I love the new home!! (so far!! after past experiences still cautious but hopeful)

- had carpets cleaned (with non toxic mild soap that I gave them) this morning and they look and smell great

-had internet phone and cable installed today

-house is super close to my MIL who is soemone 18 month old ds feels safe with- put ds for a nap at MIL's house about an hour ago and she is there with him- a 3 minute drive away!- and I am here- in a clean house! alone! drinking coffee!! pumping breastmilk without ds pulling at the machine! In my own house- clean and new- sigh of joy! Good moment right now after a super long journey of mess and bad living situations and exhaustion and chaos- a moment of rest here.

also- finally started a weekly yoga class last week- only my third yoga class since ds being born!!!
