Thank Full
Every November I do this thing on FB where I post each day, what I am thankful for. I figure that this year, I will do it over here. Will everyone see it? Maybe not. But then again, that wouldn’t really bother me.
November 1st: Well, today I was thankful for a husband with a good paying job and Excedrin Migraine. Apparently, even if a person does not feel stressed, she can be so busy that her body betrays her and acts like it is severely stressed. Which is why I’m cracking dental crowns and waking up with aches in the back of my neck. Before you ask, yes, I already have a night guard. I crack those too. I’m clenching my jaws too hard when I sleep….because I’m stressed. But I don’t feel stressed. I feel busy, but not stressed. Stressed is when there is illness or not enough money or unemployment…..I’m just busy. But back to my original focus of my gratitude. After waking up with a serious headache and getting the kids on the bus and off to school, I was able to take two pills and lie down on the couch for a rest while they kicked in.
November 2nd: Today I am grateful I have a king sized bed. Rough day for the 7th grader in the friends department. I don’t think the other girl was trying to be mean or hurtful but she told Jackie she didn’t want to be her best friend anymore. That they could be friends, but not best friends. And to twist the knife, she doesn’t want Jackie to ask her about it. Sigh…so I have a heartbroken 12-year-old. But fortunately, I also have a bed big enough that when she needs a little more cuddling and closeness than usual, and a husband/dad who is out-of-town, she can crawl in bed with me and the world won’t seem so cold.
