What a great idea. I'm sure this year's holiday will have deeper meaning for them because of it.
I'm five days behind, but I'd like to follow their example and take a little time to express thanksgiving for blessings in my life each day this November. Lofty goal for me, posting each day...
First up. I could easily express my graditude for this every day:
My husband Andrew.
I am SO thankful for him. I have said that before, and I mean it--completely--each time I do.
Yesterday when on the verge of total malfunction from dealing with an incredibly stubborn, disobedient Taylor, I called Andrew and told him that I may have to kill myself or our 3 year-old before I went completely insane.
I knew that Andrew was listening when I said that, but I had no idea how much.
When he came home from a long day at work, rather than taking much-needed time for himself, he instead made my dreams come true: First, he played with our kids and let me have some "me" time. He also fed our [cranky] kids, tidied house, then while I put our boys to bed, Hubby dressed-up super hunk-a-liciously and staged our family room for the perfect date night:
Then he drove away...to return home shortly after with a Redbox movie and this:
Mr. Sushi??
Ooohhh, Heaven.
Friday night was one of the best date nights we've had in a long time. It felt so nice to talk with my best friend...in our warm, quiet, candle-lit home, over a delicious meal...it felt so nice to be cuddled-up to a movie and think about nothing but Andrew (and "Thor") for a while. By the end of the night, I felt completely recharged.
I am madly in-love with that man!
He has a magic about him that uplifts and calms me, calms our children, and brings back a feeling of simplicity to life. He is my miracle.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself that he married me.
