I came across Rachel over at Three Butterflies and a Monkey today and I'm glad I did. Rachel must be a superwoman! She has been through so much. I am so happy that she finally has her little monkey, Kenzington Rae!
Marvelous Mondays was started after the loss of Rachel's triplets born a 23 weeks and 6 days. Here's what she wrote...
Marvelous Mondays were created to help me start to look at the positives, rather than the negatives. I started them so I would take a moment each week to take a step back and see what I do have, rather than what I do not. I chose Mondays because who are we kidding...don't we all hate Mondays? We have all lost something or have something missing from our lives. It could be a loved one, a job, your home, your heart...
For me, it was my children, Jaxon, Colin and Courtney who were taken from me when they were way too small. It is also my lack of ability to conceive and carry another child in my womb. The constant pain in my heart is numbing and life altering. I am "trying" (trying being the key word) to be positive and look for "good" in life.
So, today on this Marvelous Monday, won't you join me? What is one thing that you are thankful for? It can be simple or complex, silly or serious, tangible or intangible...it can be anything!
After reading Rachel's "About our Trio" I was completely touched. For too long I have been looking at the negative rather than the positive. I was unhappy about my "rough" pregnancy and complained about my weight gain. But now, I am so thankful for my beautiful baby girl. I am so thankful for my pregnancy. I am so thankful for every ounce of fat that I gained because I know it was all for my baby! I am so thankful for a wonderful husband that busts his butt at work everyday so I can stay home with my baby girl. I am so thankful that I live close to my family so we can get together on holidays and visit regularly. And I am so thankful I have such a blessed life!!
What are you thankful for?? Go grab the Marvelous Mondays button and write a post! Don't forget to link up over at Three Butterflies and a Monkey!
