Amen

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice.”
~ Johannes Eckhart O.P.

Taking a page from Kate’s book, and also Headmeister Heather’s, with this post I am starting a (hopefully) regular post listing some of the many things for which I am grateful.

Why? Because I am ridiculously blessed, and I truly believe that it is both necessary and incredibly healthy to express thanks.

So, how to start?

How about three at a time – means I’ll have many many posts to spread out all my blesssings. :-)

1. I am grateful for my family. Just wrapped up a great visit from my nephews – it was the first time that they came to stay overnight. They are 11 and 14. My fabulous sister and I spent the weekend with them, and we really had a great time.

2. I am grateful for my independence. I can support myself and take care of myself. And – sometime soon, I hope! – I will be able to provide for and take care of my child. I sometimes wish I had a man in my life to be my partner. And maybe someday I will. But, it is good to know that I *can* do it by myself.

3. I am grateful for my bloggy friends. When I started blogging, I didn’t have any idea how much I’d feel connected to wonderful people I know only thorugh the blogosphere. But I do, and I love you guys!!!
