..:So Many Things to be Thankful For:..

*Unedited*

It's that time of the year again. This year sure is flying by fast!

There are so many things to be thankful for this year. I am so thankful that my mother is healthier and still with us today. We had a scare at the beginning of this year.... which really put things into perspective for many of my siblings and I. I am thankful to have my siblings. We are all different and are in different parts of our lives, but we always find the time to come together and celebrate life! I am thankful to have such a supportive, caring and strong husband. There's been many times this year, where he's been stronger than me. There's been many times when he's lifted my spirits and helped me to see the brighter side of situations.

Slowly but surely I am still learning to let go and let lose a little bit. I'm still learning to deal with the things I can not change and accept it. I'm still learning to put my energy where it matters. Now that I am preparing to become a mother, I am starting to see the things that my mother use to say to me, now makes alot more sense. This new chapter of our life is going to open soon and we are more than excited! Everyday that goes by, I think about meeting Baby Emma and how she is going to be and look like. We wish she could enter our live sooner, but we know it's also not time.

I am also thankful for the friends that are still in my life. There's been many changes and I understand that things could still change from there. However, I appreciate them all. They've made an impact, big or small. Overall, I am just plain ThankFUL I am alive, breathing, healthy, safe and happy in life. It seems so simple to just appreciate what we have... However, as humans we always want more and are constantly seekings... this is what can lead us astray. So take time this weekend to just simply appreciate what you have at the moment and embrace those things.  Come on... we already spend pretty much our whole life seeking, searching and wanting more.

--Update on my glucose test--
I passed the 3 hour test! I was only there for two hours. I passed 3 readings so I was set free. Thank goodness! I was starting to panic and even started to imagine taking my blood every 2-3 hours are school. When would I find the time to do that when I am teaching all morning without a break!? I had even begun to accept the fact that if I had gestational diabetes then I would follow all the guidelines so Baby Emma would be healthy.
