my husband has been going to church with us for the last 6 weeks heart.gif

we are going on a little trip this weekend sans children - it will involve a boat, water, a hot tub and did I say no children?!  It is about a 5 hour drive south so it will be a bit warmer and it will give us lots of quiet time to talk!!



I'm sure you'll be doing lots of talking...enjoy that hot tub!

I'm really happy because I am totally sticking with this new healthy lifestyle. I have slip ups but I don't just give up anymore. I am really seeing results and feeling better and that is something I am really thankful for.

My kids are eating! And they are eating healthy. This is a miracle. I am so glad I didn't give up with this.

My kids crack me up on a daily basis. I can't say enough how much I am loving their ages and them together. I'm really blessed. heart.gifheart.gif

I'm happy because my doctor believes this surgery was successful at removing the tumor in my head.

I'm happy because my dad has 3 weeks off chemo and radiation after 6 straight months of treatments.  I love that he smiles and appreciates these 3 weeks of "freedom" as he calls it.

I'm happy because I saw my mom smile more today than I have in a long time.  To say this made me happy doesn't even explain my emotions.   It was almost like she was back to pre-illness self.  I won't give up hope we will get her back 100%
.
I'm happy that when I came home after a long day today I found that all the flowers in front of my house were blooming.

 Thank you Sonya.  I feel so blessed despite all the hardships.  I have really found that even in the ugly times there is always something beautiful to be found.  This thread is making me look for those moments. :)

I'm thankful for MS and the wonderful friendships I have made here.

Ahhh...just what I need to be reading!!!!

I am happy to be home.

I am happy that I had the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people while in the hospital. For some reason, I tend to bring out the chatty in people, and I learned a lot about a lot of nurses and techs while I was there. I honestly am going to miss some of them, and some of their stories really broke my heart! I need to find a way to thank the many people there who helped me and opened their hearts to me.

I am happy that I have only been to the bathroom once today so far!

I am happy that my family, my friends, my neighbors and everyone around me is so generous. We have already had multiple offers for meals and playdates and such. It is hard for me to let people take care of me rather than the other way around, but I am so grateful

I am happy for the hershey bar I just ate. I probably shouldn't have eaten it, but man was it good.

I am happy to have the support of you amazing women

I am happy in a way too that all of this has forced me to re-focus and realize what really matters in my life. I needed that.

Me too!!!  And thank you for starting this thread.  It is so easy for me sometimes when things are rough to get bogged down in the negatives, and that isn't helpful for my healing!  I need to keep focusing on all of the wonderful things in my life, which I definitely have in spades!

Today I had the chance to do a quick walk around my yard and looked for my hyacinth and tulips popping out.  I found some! clap.gif

I am making progress on cleaning up my house

Elizabeth helped me re pot a little lemon tree we have in the kitchen and I think she finally has caught my gardening bug. heart.gif

Despite only making an effort to change my snacking habits this past week I actually lost a 1/2 pound.

I am also thankful for this board and seeing posts from such great women.

I am beyond happy to read Michele and Supa's posts.

I am happy to be regaining my footing in loving being at home.

I am happy to have made good local girlfriends in the last year... I didn't realize how badly I needed them until I had them.

I am happy that Hannah's coming around to craving Joe's attention more, even if it means her crying, "BUT I WANT DADDY!" more than I like.

I am extra happy that I made something for dinner that not only everyone enjoyed, but Joe actually praised it and went back for thirds, lol.
