Gratituesday

I am grateful for M's sense of humor. He always knows exactly what to do and say to make me cry from laughter!
I am grateful for the show House of Cards, which I have just started watching and am obsessed with. Obviously I am in love with Frank Underwood, but Doug is my fav character. I'm on season 3 so no spoilers please!

Edit: pressed "send" too soon!

I am grateful for the fact that M and I are moving soon! I've been house hunting for the past few weeks it has been fun!

To answer the fun question of the week: I am a glass half full kind of girl. I'm an optimist and an idealist and am always looking on the bright side/through rose tinted glasses :D

I'm a bit late to the party, but I am grateful that I finally had my daughter! She's here, healthy and beautiful. I'm one happy mama.

I'm also so thankful that my husband has been so attentive and patient while I've been recovering. It's been a pretty smooth first 12 hours but a little love goes a long way!

I'm also grateful for my parents and in-laws for going out of their ways to make sure I'm comfortable and have what I need!

Well hello! I have not done one of these for a while, so let's go:

I am grateful for B and his strong, steady hand guiding us while we work towards buying a new house. We lost a place we really loved because we didn't get a chance to put an offer in before our vacation, but that has really motivated us to be proactive in our search and be aggressive once we find the place we're sure about. We've been seeing a lot of houses, and plan to see two more (whoo!) on Thursday night, with a drive-by on one before my rehearsal tomorrow night. We looked at one last night that I really liked, but there was a lot about it that ultimately was not going to mesh with our future plans and I am really glad he helped me realize that gently, as I was really in lust with the place.
I am grateful for my new job. I am working for an amazing oncologist; I cannot describe to you how great she is. Not only is she a great doctor, but she is a great mother. I don't want to discuss her situation further out of respect for privacy, but she is such a fantastically loving mother who wants the best for her children before anything else. I am almost bummed about the fact that we did reach an agreement on me staying home with our children, because I am that fond of her that I wish I could continue working with her. She has such a great heart and she is so knowledgeable.
I am grateful for B's wonderful parents for taking care of our puppers while we were on our vacation two weeks ago - there were some last minute changes with our flights that resulted in them caring for the doggos for a little longer, and they were very gracious about helping us out for a little bit longer. They are always so full of wisdom and experience that my own parents do not have, and I am very grateful that they raised the man I love and gave him such a great font of knowledge to build off of.

Bonus: I am a "something else" kind of girl - I have to analyze all of the pros and cons before I can determine whether any situation is half full/empty. I suppose I am a little bit too cautionary. :)

Oh my gosh, It's Gratituesday! *\o/*

I am grateful for my grandma (she's my mother figure). She's helping me on my life journey, and I couldn't be here without her.
I'm grateful for my INCREDIBLE, loving, considerate boyfriend, and his patience and his tolerance and his temperament. He makes life SO easy and truly enjoyable. I was just eating mussels tonight (he showed me how to prepare them in the past), and was picking out the mussels, and was remembering that the last time he made mussels for us (this was about a month ago), he had picked all my mussels out for me. ♥ ♥ ♥ I could go on and on and on about the qualities I admire in him and feel so grateful for.
I'm grateful for my job, even though it's been a pain lately, I've got to remember that it helps keep the food on the table (and a bed to sleep in).
I'm grateful for my smile (which I haven't used often enough lately) and the people who compliment on it, I suppose. x)

Philosophically, the glass-half-full type of girl. :P

Littleknownfacts · 2017-03-28T21:47:10+00:00

I am grateful for the work field trip I am getting to take later this week.

I am grateful for getting to have dinner with some old friends last night.

And I am thankful to my SO for cutting all of the onions in my life. <3

Bonus: Is the glass half full, half empty, or something else?

It depends. Was it full and then you drank half (half empty) or was it empty and you only pour it halfway up (half full).

RainbowKitty77 · 2017-03-29T07:56:47+00:00

I am grateful for my amazing bf calling me last night and making me smile.

I am grateful for my friend being there to talk to me.

I am grateful for my dog for being my constant companion.

I'm a glass half empty type of girl can't lie.

littleeggwyf · 2017-03-29T09:25:50+00:00

MIL biopsy came back negative for cancer, just before they left for Israel, brilliant timing for good news and the family are all really relieved.
Hubs being supportive for exercise, I know I'll probably never able to keep up with him but he is a good coach and helps keep me going when my little legs are aching :) And gave me a piggyback last night!
We have got into Archer and it's great to have a show that makes us both laugh when we want something lighthearted

Bonus: Half empty, and probably the remaining half is spiders! I am not good at optimism!

Hubs balances it with his "ah, it'll be fine" confidence :)

ThatStepfordGal · 2017-03-29T09:54:22+00:00

I am grateful for my amazing SO this week, who was so supportive and proud of me, he truly appreciates me and I am glad I am making him so deeply happy.
I am happy to have a great balance in my life, only a little of work, study and time to be able to clean the house, cook and help my family. By evening time everything is set and done and we can just enjoy things as a family.
I am grateful for the little shopping trip I had, I am excited to have some new stationery and some books!

Bonus: If it's beer, I can guarantee it won't be half-empty or half-full for long.

It's not Tuesday anymore, but whatever.

Just a month and a half of school left. 3 more things to do next week and then I can start preparing for the final exams without having to worry about anything else.

My SO planned a weekend for just the two of us after the exams. I'm really excited about it because we haven't been spending enough time together lately.

My grandpa had to go to the hospital for what they thought was something pretty serious, it turned out it wasn't as bad as they thought and he's home again and doing well.

The glass is full, it's just not all water (yes, I tend to be horribly optimistic yet for some reason I hardly ever get disappointed).

jade_cat · 2017-04-01T13:32:45+00:00

I am grateful for my husband's balance between a very stoic attitude and a goofy one. He is serious when needed, but still manages to be hilarious!
I am grateful that our life is so peaceful and uneventful. A few people have been telling me of their problems recently and that made me realize how perfect my life is.
I am grateful to my MIL, who bought me some products for my skin at her beautician. I know I mentioned it last week too, but I've been using them steadily since then and they truly work wonders!

Bonus: Glass half full type of girl, unless it's wine. There's never enough wine! :D
