It's been a while since we've done a feel good thread. So let's share what we are all grateful for lately.

Honestly, I've been struggling lately and have been trying to find a few things a day that i am grateful for. But I am struggling so it's so hard to get past a bunch of negativity.
Yesterday - I was grateful for making it thru swim lessons without major melt downs.

I have recently boarded the struggle bus too now that I have less than 1 month left of maternity leave. I want to be home with my kids all the time which is not even close to being able to be reality.
I'm thankful to be another year older. I used to get down on birthdays, but I see a lot of badness in my line of work and I've come to realize that getting older is a privilege.

I'm thankful for my dad asks having him so close. He's so willing to help others. One neighbor he filled their fridge after they were out of town for a family death, others he does many odd tasks for since the husband is disabled. And seeing him with M is the best. They adore each other, and he's an incredible help to us as well. After he moved to Texas for several years it's wonderful to have him just 10 minutes away.

I’m grateful that I have a huge nice umbrella as I trek through the rain. And I’m thankful I have a partner who bought me the umbrella.

Yesterday's gratefuls. 1. I am grateful that we all made it home safe during some pretty bad storms. Then took the time to play outside splashing in the puddles. I even taught them how to race leaves down the rushing water. 2. I am grateful for my 2 happy kids.

What a great idea! It's great to slow down and think about these things.
I'm grateful to have a profession that I love, and a job that is so very satisfying. I am very grateful to work for an organization that is about people/for people, and so caring. I'm grateful to have professional opportunities that challenge me, as well as the flexibility to be slow and do my own thing as necessary. (I'm off tomorrow to take DS1 to a doctor appointment and then I will be painting his bedroom in the basement that is almost done).
I am so grateful that DH and I have worked hard and are at a place where we are starting to reap the rewards and getting closer to living a more comfortable life. I am grateful for the overall 'luck of the draw' and that we ended up with the most amazing neighbours.
I am grateful that both of my boys are extremely healthy, and even though they both give me challenges at times, that at the end of the day they call me Mom.

I'm grateful to be able to breastfeed the boys without too much trouble. Grateful DH is supportive and watched the kids while I was at the conference recently.

Love this thread! Thanks RunsforWineandCarbs, I'm grateful for a ton of stuff lately...been feeling emotional in good ways. I'm grateful to have been able to have our 2 children. I'm grateful for a spouse that I not only love but also really like! I'm grateful for a job I like and some wonderful co-workers. I had my first ever major conflict with one co-worker this week, and that really got me down (it was about pumping!) and some of my other co-workers were really sweet and supportive to me about it. And even though I like my job, I'm grateful for 2 months off for the summer that I can spend with my kids. I'm grateful to have my immediate family living close by and I am able to see them on a regular basis. I'm grateful to have child care we really like. I'm grateful to not have to worry about simple things, like paying the mortgage or having food to eat. I'm grateful we are getting our upstairs AC replaced and maybe it won't wake up DS every night this summer. I'm grateful to also really like our neighbors, we lucked out on our street. I'm grateful for an awesome network of mom of young kids here where we live and some of them have turned into my best buds. I'm grateful that my body can handle the running I love to do and I rarely get injured. This feels really good to write out! Like I said, I've been having lots of the feels lately.

Ooh I have another! I am sooo grateful we got DS into DD's daycare for the summer!! He can't go there forever because his school is in a different town. But for July and August, it will cut 30 minutes from our morning, I won't be in a rush to leave work AND if I pick up DH from work we could actually go for dinner before picking the kids up We are used to flying in every direction, doing dropoffs in three (?!) separate towns, leaving the house at 6:30am and getting home at 7pm. This is going to be GREAT.

I am grateful we had 1.5 good days at the beach, despite rainy weather. I am grateful my kids slept somewhat well last night.

I tried this About a year ago. I renewed my city library card (giving me access to like 15 libraries) with my old licence for where I used to live right before it expired. Lol I am just waiting for them to ask me for a confirmation of address, then I will be done with my little scam haha.
