Well, doesn't time just run away from you? It was somewhat of a roller coaster of week! The lazy (busy) days of summer. However one thing remained constant: gratitude.
The Staff at CMC - On Friday my friend's brother had a heart attack while, I believe, he was getting a chest x-ray (not at the hospital). When I woke up to see her messages I was shocked to say the least. I immediately called her and the news that she gave me was less than ideal. But my yesterday, Father's Day, he was off of the ventilator and awake so good news was had by all. The staff at CMC pull through once again. Of course, it's still going to be a rocky road but I am glad that he has a road!
The Beautiful Sunday - Levi's christening was yesterday and there was a huge celebration for him... outside. When I looked at the forecast on Saturday night for Sunday I was so sad to see it was going to be nothing but rain. For a moment there yesterday it did look like the sky was just going to open and rain down on us for 40 days but, somehow, it held off for the party. I am grateful for this.
Levi's Cooperation - You know some kids just do not enjoy being quiet or having an ocean of water over their heads. But that Honey Bee of mine took it all like a champ. He slept through mass, can't blame him on that one, and then when it came time for the fireworks, he wanted to dive into that water head first. Now, either he is really smart and knew it would cool him off because it was a sauna in the church or he enjoys swimming. At let's not forget that he did his signature move of chewing the towel when the priest put it on his head. Levi's wonderful demeanor made the experience fantastic.
Cereal - I have always loved cereal and that is a fact. But now that heartburn is a staple in my life I must say getting a snack and some milk to cure this heartburn of mine is the cat's meow. Oh, except when fruity pebbles end up down my shirt stuck to my belly. I do not feel gratitude for that but then again I laugh every time so maybe that is something to be thankful for!
Pip's Kicks- I know I have already been grateful for his kicks but his kicks are something I am grateful for every day. He can never kick me enough! I think of it as a "Hey Ma, I'm alright. I can't wait to meet you, and stretch my super strong, abled, straight legs!"
What are you thankful for?
