Gratitude

Sitting among boxes and disarray I'm taking inventory.

I am thankful for:
  • A devoted, caring, patient husband. Yes, patient. He's got it when it matters most.
  • A smiley babe, who I am beginning to think is bossy
  • Offers of help, if only I knew what would make everything easier
  • Validations of my feelings of sadness, fear, and frustration
  • A pantry that continues to allow me to come up with filling, although not so conventional, meals served on paper plates
  • Strong legs to take me on long stress relieving walks
  • An opportunity for a new chapter in our lives
  • Tylenol PM
  • The insight to understand that this too will pass, the end is in sight, and everything will be ok

Great list of gratitude Erin. If you need anyone to talk to, cry to, just let me know.

I agree with Soapchick but just add your good loving friends to your mental list because we are coming with you in spirit to NYC. xoxo

How soon are you moving?

I will be here and there, mostly in Denver, after closing on the 16. Charlie will be here living at work in order to complete his dissertation. Our NYC arrival should be late August or early September.

Keep moving forward, sweetie! If anyone can do all of this, it's YOU!
