Project 366 : Day 4

I'd like to tell you today how grateful I am for Family W.  They've been friends of mine for several years now, and their support during that time has been utterly amazing.

Balancing unvarnished truth with amazing love and acceptance, Mrs W and her family have supported my sons and me through several crises in the last 18 months.  I don't know how I would have managed without their love, support and occasional kicks in the butt :-)

Project 366 : Day 3

I'm thankful today for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).  I need to get back and finish writing my blog series on CBT, but suffice to say, it's changed my life and I wouldn't be who I am, where I am, today, without it.

Project 366 : Day 2

COFFEE.  I'm thankful for coffee!  Awesome caffeinated goodness not only helps the ping to awakeness, it's such a comfort drink.  I love coffee to start the day, as well as a "treat me" when I'm feeling down.

366 Things...Day 1

I'm ON THE WAGON.  I grant you, I'm on the wagon 20 days late.  But...I boarded it, OK?  A lot of people I know on social networking sites (and, probably, the way these things go viral, a fair few of your contacts too) started 2012 pledging to post one thing every day that they are thankful for.  I missed the boat a wee bit, but that's not going to stop me from pledging a moment of daily gratitude for the next year...I'll just finish a bit late too!

Why 366?  Because this year is a leap year, there are 366 days this calendar year.

So...today, I'm thankful for my beautiful sons.  The geeklings have taught me more about myself and about life, than I ever could I have dreamed when I first fell pregnant almost seven years ago.

They've taught me how to be courageous even when I least feel like it.  They've taught me the immense value of the smallest gestures - a kiss, a cuddle, "I love you" and "I'm sorry".  They've taught me how to love unconditionally and without limits.

Being a parent might be one of the hardest jobs, but it's also one of the most rewarding.  I'm thankful today that I'm their mother.
