How funny that Bethany has been feauring an article on her blog, written by Dr. Laura, titled, "Why not be thankful?"
Doesn't sound funny does it? No, I meant funny in a coincidental way ... last night and this morning I was thinking of all the reasons I'm conent and yes, sometimes thankful, to not be pregnant right now ...
Here's my list:
- Hot, and I mean really hot showers ... not okay when you're with child ;).
- Lots, and I mean lots of caffeine, with no guilt ... i.e. all the iced tea my body can handle :).
- Really good sleep.
- No added exhaustion to my already exhausting days.
- My pants stay up ... seriously, I don't think I've met a pregnant woman who's pants fit right.
- And viewing Ethan's existence as more of a miracle each day!
Now I'm sure I could think of more, and of course, if you are pregnant, than that's a whole new list of things of to be thankful for ... the point is that too often we are focused on what we want, what we think we need rather than being thankful for and finding the lesson in where YOU ARE ... after all that is the only thing you really have any control over anyway!
So, come one ... share with me about your unexpected "thankfulness."

I'm thankful that I never have a moment to myself. It means that my days are filled with people who need me. And who does love to be needed?
I'm thankful to be in California. Even though it means being far away from all my family and friends, I know that it is where God wants me right now, and for that, I am so thankful!
