Morning Gratitude
June 3rd, 2010
Thursday greetings!
I was laying in bed this morning, spooned in real nice with my gorgeous hunk of husband thinking about how important it is to appreciate what I have. I am SO blessed to have a man who works 9-5, and only 2 miles from home. He wanders out to the dining room at 8am and he and the boys eat breakfast together. I’ve never been a breakfast eater, so it’s always been SUPER for me that he takes care of that.
He’s even dressed and ready to leave by 8:40 when the boys leave to catch the bus at the end of our driveway and has always walked down with them and waited until the bus arrives.
He brings home milk when it’s needed and always brings me the mail. He’s always been one step ahead of me handing me what I need or on his way to go get what I want.
My mother once said I was spoiled by my husband. El gets what El wants when El wants it. Period.
I don’t completely disagree. I do get what I want when I want it… for the most part. Spoiled implies that I feel overly entitled and will hold my breath and pass out blue to get my way. I think in the adult world, that’s supposed to translate to withholding sex.
I, however, am NOT spoiled. I am pampered. The difference? I am humbled by the lavish attention I get and am endlessly appreciative. I eat, sleep, breathe, play, and work gratitude.
Therefore being pampered by my husband doesn’t equate with my being spoiled. It makes me the most blessed and grateful woman I know.
So I laid there, basking in the pure energy of appreciation for where I am in my life. For my in-laws who don’t like me and my brothers who are little clouds of drama and my garden and my family and my friends and my partner in this life and how beautiful it is that everyone gets this shot at creating however they choose.

I’ve been doing daily affirmations and it’s been making a difference for me. I’m finding that I forget what they are though. Not because they’re long, because I’ve been keeping them very short and to the point, but because when it changes every day, I tend to forget which I’d chosen for that day.
I’ve decided to go back to the moon. The moon makes such a nice, steady calendar to go by. Right now we are floating through the waning light until the New Moon on Saturday June 12th. I’m going to go with an affirmation and keep the same one(s) until the next half. So this way, they’ll only change every two weeks on the New and Full Moon.

My affirmation for today is~ My life is an amazing utopia of grace and beauty! I am truly blessed.
