Laura Cerrano challenged us all to write about three things we're filled with gratitude about for 5 straight days. I'm starting that challenge today.
I'm grateful that every single time I ask my husband to do something for me he does it. Tonight I didn't feel well and he stopped what he was doing and made me scrambled eggs because that was the only thing that I thought I could eat. Yesterday he stopped what he was doing and came to my office and helped kill the millions of ants that decided they wanted to live inside sometime Saturday night. He's my best friend and super good to me. Tomorrow I think I'll tell him just how grateful I am for him. I'd tell him right now, but he's sleeping. He's the love of my life and my soulmate. I am so thankful that we bumped into one another. I can't remember life before him and I can't imagine life without him. He is the best part of me.
I'm grateful for my very talented and very brave daughter. She is currently working full time as a paramedic, going to school full time to get the last few hours she needs to apply to medical school. I've know she was going to save people since she was a toddler doing CPR on her dolls instead of dressing them up and having tea with them. She deeply cares about other people. She makes me so proud I cry about it. I can't imagine having to see people die almost every day that I went to work, but she works in a city where that happens some weeks. I couldn't handle that, but she feels for them yet still bounces back so that she is ready to save the ones she can. Last year she was awarded a state "trauma save" award and she's made that same type of heroic save again this year. That means she along with her partner managed to save someone with a less than 10% chance of survival. Makes her totally excited to get to share with me that she beat the odds. She wants to eventually work as doctor saving babies. Look at my little three year old and imagine that. I knew long before she did. But she figured it out.- Books- I'm grateful for books. I love to read and sometimes I think we take things for granted. Can you imagine living in a place where you would go to the public library and get ANY book you wanted and read it. I have "kindle" on my ipad, but I don't download books. I do have some audio books I listen to in my car, but I love the smell and feel of a hardback book in my hands and I'm grateful that I was taught to love to read at an early age. I read and I learn. Daily. I read something in a book every single day. I love books. I love to keep my books and read them again later.
That's day 1. Have you started the challenge yet?
