1. I am grateful that my son has turned head-down.
2. I am grateful that I’ve got a good birth team together.
3. I am grateful for back rubs.
4. I am grateful that today we will have brownies at the faculty lunch.
5. I am grateful to know that tasks are getting crossed off my “before the baby’s born” to-do list.
1. I am grateful that I finally did get back to sleep last night after having that silly wake-up-hungry-and-wired moment.
2. I am grateful that today has been all about pencil-pushing and Office Space type things.
3. I am grateful for the stashed can of ginger ale, which helped diminish the effects of that queso dip. (Note: if the cheese doesn’t need to be refrigerated, it’s probably not very good for you or your digestive track — no matter how much the TV commercial lead you to believe so.)
4. I am grateful to see my tree at working growing more new foliage.
5. I am grateful that I’ve had time to clean up my desk drawers after neglecting them for more pressing tasks last week.
1. I am grateful that Monday morning won’t be an insane dash to finish last minute details (and I’m sure my bosses are even more grateful for this fact than I am).
2. I am grateful that we have a ton of great sales at Publix this week. Mmm, yummy food.
3. I am grateful that breakfast came out so well today. There’s nothing quite like freshly baked biscuits with butter and strawberry jam.
4. I am grateful that we should be getting another cold front by the weekend.
5. I am grateful for the awesome mommy-daughter time I had with Tati yesterday at the 50th Celebration Luncheon.
I think I need to start this day off with some gratitude. I might not make it through lunchtime if I don’t stop to appreciate the good things in life first.
1. I am grateful that the 50th Anniversary Celebration at my department will only happen once — this weekend.
2. I am grateful for the beautiful weather this cold front brought us.
3. I am grateful that I’ve made it to 36 weeks today. One more week, and we’ll hit the magical “full term” status.
4. I am grateful for the knowledge that I’m going to be enjoying a delicious glass of rosé wine around the end of this month (unless Mr. Pumpkin decides he’d rather have a November birthday).
5. I am grateful for being able to make piece with pushing back an unreasonable deadline I had set for the next newsletter.
