As I’m sure you’ve all gathered from my recent posts, my heart has been heavy with the need to be more humble and receptive to the idea that I’m not the only one in this world. I’ve prayed hard for God to provide me with a constantly thankful heart, and while some days are more of a struggle than others, I manage to always find something I’m extremely grateful for.

• Blankets. They’re not only super cozy but a great alternative to upping the heat in our house and ultimately save us a few pennies each month.
• Peaches. She’s the sweetest most fluffiest cat I know. She knows all my secrets and still loves me enough to drool all over me and give sandpaper kisses each night before I go to bed.
• Jeremy. This Irish lass has some serious “crazy” in her…through all my meltdowns he breaths in deep and takes me on and makes me a better woman. I can’t believe I get him for the rest of my life. What a true gift from God.
• Hot water. It saved me on Thursday night while waiting in line to see the 12:01am showing of New Moon. My hands went numb from the cold…the bathroom sinks oozed the most fantastic of water droplets my fingers ever felt.
• My memory. Perhaps it’s the Sudoku that’s kept it fresh (because we all know Facebook isn’t exactly adding brain cells) but I managed to remember all the dates I needed to re-add to my JBerry after my phone deleted everything when I removed the Facebook application (which apparently was proof that I have lost brain cells, as I only needed to clear the cache and not clear the entire app in order to keep it from freezing).

And one to grow on…

• God. He humbles me and reminds me that I’m human, and without Him I am not freed. With him, I am renewed and forgiven and am provided another try at the once failed attempts at this life. Thank you God for reminding that not only can I not do this without you…but I don’t want to either.
