This is the last portion of my 28 things of which I'm grateful as I turn 28 today.
21. Vacations - Vacations are exactly what the doctor orders sometimes. I had a 10 day vacation last year and I think it really has carried over to this year. I've often looked back at that vacation with gratitude and joy considering the way I was able to release any amount of stress in my life and just relax. I wish I could go on vacations all the time, but working hard allows for us to go on vacation once in a while. How much sweeter is the vacation when it's something that is so rare and unique!
22. A child's laugh - There are few things that send joy directly to my heart like a child's laugh. Pure joy. Period.
23. Facebook - Facebook has created opportunities to connect with people like never before. I honestly feel like a better friend because of Facebook. Call it lame if you want. I think I am able to be aware of the good and bad things going on in friends lives when sometimes time doesn't allow a phone call. (Side note: Facebook is really good when it's your birthday! I had over 200 people wishing me a happy birthday on Facebook! Seriously... that makes a girl feel loved!)
24. Strength - Strength is something that while I'm still struggling to find it in certain areas, I'm blessed to have found it in a few small areas. I will take joy in that!
25. Infertility - While I wish this weren't a word in my vocabulary, I will say it has been a blessing. It has created conversation drawing Adam and I closer than ever. It's created opportunities to bond in new ways with friends going through the same thing. It's created a greater dependency on God...which lets be honest, is always needed. I will choose to praise Him through this storm.
26. Good News - Have you ever received good news? When that happens, it doesn't matter how bad your day has been...the good news really makes the day nearly 100% better. What a blessing to receive good news.
27. Holidays - The holidays are my favorite times of the year. There are a lot of different holidays throughout the year, but I am most looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am thankful for the reminders that the holidays stand for, but also for the community that takes place during that time. While everyone is depressed that winter is right around the corner...I'm joyful for the holidays. :)
28. Looking forward to ... - Have you ever been so excited for something? Maybe a vacation, a life event... Well, that is something of which I'm thankful. I am thankful for the built up excitement, the anticipation and sometimes nervousness of the unknown. There are many things I am looking forward to. I anxiously await what the future holds.
Happy 28 years!
