"You'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings"
The cursor is taunting me today. I’ve got a little bit of writer’s block right now.
Not that I don’t have things to be thankful for … because I do. Lots of things to be thankful for, in fact. But I just can’t seem to articulate them today.
So today, I’ll just be thankful for the love I have for Hubby Dearest. He is my best friend. And my biggest champion.
Thanks for the confidence you have in me, Hubby!
Yay! Mia finally got all of her birthday gifts that her Auntie Em and Uncle Apron Strings bought online! I’m so thankful that they arrived there … so what if it’s over a week past her actual birthday. (Guess I gotta start shopping earlier next time!)
One of the things I’ve been trying to do is buy her books. And lots of them. Between her mom and my love of reading, I’m hoping that she shares our same love of reading.
This time around I got her the board book version of “Fox In Sox” … one of my favorite books growing up. I hope Dr. Bro and Dr. SIL get to enjoy reading it to her … because I know how much I enjoyed having it read to me.
Great Italian Food
Dinner (mostly) by candlelight
Wonderful conversation
Thankful for a romantic dinner with Hubby
And thankful we can do this “spur of the moment.”
For all those who have served and those that continue to serve our country, I am grateful for all you’ve done. Happy Veterans Day.
The older I get, the harder it is to maintain close friendships. It makes it twice as difficult when I know I’m the one that tends to keep my distance from people.
I could probably blame it on being different because of infertility or the fact that we’re living child-free, but the truth is that I’m scared to put myself out there. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been writing on this blog lately.
But I’m trying to change that. I would like to have those friendships again. I would like to be brave enough to put myself out there and share things with someone other than just Hubby. I would like to define myself as someone other than an infertile gal living childfree, still grieving the passing of her father.
But this post is supposed to be about something I’m thankful for, not to feel sorry for myself. SO … what I AM thankful for are those friendships that have managed to survive the ups an downs of my life thus far. And I’m thankful for those friendships that like me just for who I am.
