What I love

I never write about my bad times. Mostly because they are the times that I least want to remember. What I do want to remember, however, are the shining moments during the bad times that give me hope. This is what got me through the day.



April. Letting me invite myself over when I needed a friend. Asking about how I'm doing like she cares, and not out of pity.


A friend who made me cookies because she knew something was wrong



My baby Penny. Her marathon kisses that last two minutes and leave me slimy from the eyes down. A full two minutes of kissing and gut rolling laughing from the both of us.
Holding her as she fell asleep tonight. It took 2 hours, but how can you get upset when you KNOW that your baby loves you and needs you.

Diet coke. Yes i know this is lame and seemingly out of place in this "I'm so grateful" page, but honestly it hit the spot.

Brett. Hugging me and kissing me on the temple when I was distraught. Losing hours of sleep helping me talk through everything. Letting me know that he loves me. Letting me know he understands. Holding my hand.

I just realized that I'm counting my blessings instead of sheep. Now i am picturing a White Christmas and am currently singing my blessings before i sleep. Its time to go to BED

Ang....Those are such beautiful sentiments. Each one. I am glad that you are able to find the shining amid the darkness. The world is so dang crazy now that we all need and have to hang onto each other and love and care. You are one of my favorite people. And you help me feel the shining. I am so glad that I know you and that you are part of our family.
Love
Penny
