Thankful Thursday: March Edition

Today marks the last day of March. And of course, we find Cameron sick again.

Let me just say, I’ve been waiting for this day for a while. March has just thrown a lot of hard stuff our way. And I’m really just ready for it to be over. I’m ready for a fresh start. I’m ready for spring.

At the same time, I feel guilty for the amount of animosity I am feeling towards the events of this month. Because our family shared some amazing experiences together. Cameron turned one. There have been lots of laughter and smiles and playtime and snuggles.

So because it is the end of the month, and because I am sick of being negative (even though sometimes I still feel it), today I want to tell you what I am thankful for. Because I am definitely thankful.

my baby
my family
who are willing to help out when things get tough – we currently have a vehicle to drive because of my awesome family

my friends
friends who call to talk when they know I’m having a hard time – friends who I’ve grown so close to in the recent months
and also
friends who I have never met before except through social media – friends who are always there, always supportive, always willing to lend a prayer or an ear or a joke

life and health
sometimes you realize how quickly these can be taken away

the sun
good books

new beginnings

my faith

this smile
