Thankful
BTW - when I was sitting in the waiting room at my docs office waiting to have my u/s to diagnose the m/c I already knew I was having (and feeling really sorry for myself) a news story came on the television.
The story was about a young veteran who lost ALL HIS LIMBS! ALL OF THEM! He was undergoing a double arm transplant, which I didn't even know was possible. I reminded myself then and there that no matter what the doc says, IT COULD BE WORSE, A LOT WORSE! I am so thankful for my general health, my mobility, my youth, my husband, my friends, family, my job, my kitties, that adoption is always possible, that I have a husband that supports any type of family, the list goes on.
Just putting this out there for those of you who are feeling hopeless and like you have nothing to be thankful for. Examine your life closely and you will find more than plenty.

P.S. It is okay though to feel sorry for yourself every once in a while, but try and stay grounded! We can't always have everything we want and that has to be okay.
P.S.S. This IS meant to lift you up, so please don't be offended. Everyone deals with what they are dealt with differently. God made me of sturdy stuff for a reason...
This is all!

You are so strong! I also find myself looking for life\'s silver linings and it makes me feel blessed eventhough my babies are not with me. Hope I find the same strength as yours!
