Pregnant and heading for acceptance #2

[JennyF]

No....not things that WILL make you happy. Things that make you happy. What are you grateful for?

I would say the idea of the list is to look it as your 'glass'. It could be half full or half empty. Usually you look at the empty half...dwelling on the things you don't have or have been denied in all of this. The losses.
Focus on the full half..., even if it's not quite half at this moment, there are good things in your life. Focusing on them is the only way to get more of them.
Here...I'll start!!

- You are pregnant with a beautiful from God. You are going to be a Mother and there is nothing more wonderful than that!
- You are a strong indepent woman who has spent the last 6 months taking care of yourself and getting yourself through each and every day while taking care of that baby inside of you and planning for her arrival. It is the strong and wonderful person you are that got you to this point. Be proud of yourself.
- You have a wonderful family who supports you. I don't know about you, but this has made me realize how much I took my parent's and a lot of other people for granted and I now have a renewed appreciation for those people in my life. For that I am grateful.
- Your H has not left the country...he wants to be a part of his D's life and that is a good thing...for Kendall.
- You are rising above all of the craziness that he has created...he is still spiralling down, but you are moving up!

As long as you look at that list and don't add any "yeah but's.." to it...then the glass is half full.
