Thankful @ MindSay



 

   
Today...

Today is a good day, I am alive and heathy. I have much to be thankful for.

 

I have family and friends, that I am thankful for, including some friends I have made here on mindsay.

 

Here is to all of you out there, thank you for letting me be a part of your lives. In reality or here on mindsay.

 

 
 
   
 

Thankful.

We had an excellently lazy snow day yesterday.
Levon got an unexpected break from school, which is nice.
Damien's store even closed at 10am, so he came back home and hung out with us.
He ordered pizza for me for dinner last night (we found a place that delivered, despite the blizzard), which was excellent, and we snuggled in bed and watched crappy TV. (The Moment of Truth)
Dexter is funny. He doesn't want to speak, it seems, but sometimes he just comes right out with the words and it's adorable. I'm sure he's just waiting for the right time.
I now know that the baby is doing well, and I even have a date for her arrival- August 18th.
My ultrasound was canceled because of the snow, I have to call today and reschedule.

Things are good. My kids are healthy and happy. My marriage is amazing. I love my family. We will be moving into our own house this spring, and buying a new car soon. I've come to understand some things about myself and other people. (More on that at a later time.) Even the piles of snow outside are pretty.
And...
Mitt Romney just dropped out of the presidential race. Haha!

Go On! Be Thankful!

I should have posted this on Thanksgiving, but why restrict being thankful to just one day!?


From Foreign Policy magazine, 5 reasons we should all be thankful:

  1. Your plane isn’t going to crash! Better safety standards make air flight incredibly safe! (I can vouch for this one!)
  2. Fewer kids are dying. Health care basics like vaccines, mosquito nets, breastfeeding, clean water and better access to health professionals are saving children’s lives.
  3. Wars are history. Armed conflicts fell by 40 percent between 1993 and 2003.
  4. Poverty is down. Fewer people are living on $1 a day - from 1.5 billion people in 1981 to 985 million in 2004.
  5. You’re living to retirement. We’re living longer lives all over the globe thanks to modern medicine and improved sanitation.

Sounds great to me! And here I thought the end of the world was nigh. Read more details at FP.
