Thankful Thursday...

I'm still digging the Thankful Thursdays and there are so many things that I am thankful for... here is just a sampling:

• my God..
• not having to buy any more pull-ups for R...
• beautiful weather...
• the smell of fresh mowed fields...
• listening to my kids play together...
• the ability to connect with people all over the world...
• moving on does not mean forgetting...
• science can be proved wrong...
• watching wildlife in our yard...
• washable furniture covers...
• good friends...

I know, probably a silly list and like I said, it's just a sampling of the things that I am thankful for! I hope you have a Thankful Thursday too...

Oh yah, I'm also really, really thankful for the fact that it appears that God has given us the opportunity to try this parenting thing once again. Only He knows how long we will get to nurture this new blessing but I will take every single day that I am given. I hesitated to put this part in since it is so early however, this will be a big part of my healing process and to ignore dealing with and facing the myriad of emotions would only be cheating myself.

...one tiny thing... since this is our information to share, please understand my request that you do a happy dance for us ;-) but please refrain from sending congratulations to our extended family. This bloggy world is one of the places where I feel safe working through the emotions that I'm encountering and knowing that I have to be very careful about editing my thoughts would make that more difficult. Thanks!
