List 10 Things You Are Grateful For

With my wedding fast approaching, (so sorry for my lack of posts lately!) and my nerves and moods in constant flux I thought it might be a good time to go back to an old journaling exercise.  List 10 things that you are grateful for. 

1) My wonderful fiance, and soon to be husband, who not only sticks by me through everything, mood swings and all, but loves me (and tells me everyday) in the midst of all the craziness.

2) Alcohol, yes I said it.  No, I'm not an alcoholic, but it sure has been helping me out lately when my nerves need some calming.

 

3) My wonderful family and friends who have been unbelievably generous and helpful with the planning of our wedding.  Their love and generosity never ceases to amaze me.

4) My car.  I thought my baby needed new brakes, and I was going to be screwed with a huge bill right before the wedding.  Took her in, and low and behold, she just needed a little TLC, nothing major.  Still have a few months on the brakes. 

5) The financial ability to even have this wedding!  I complain about the costs almost daily, but when I really think about it, I'm so happy that everyone is coming together to celebrate our union.  It make me feel so honored and spoiled all at the same time.

6) My job, yes it is making me bat shit crazy lately, but I'm still happy to have one.  Trying to tie up all those loose ends before my big break for the wedding and honeymoon!

7) My upcoming honeymoon/vacation.  We're going to aruba!  I've never been to the bahamas and I'm looking forward to a whole lotta R&R.  Especially after planning a wedding!

8) My health!  Yes sounds kinda funny since I suffer from 2 autoimmune conditions.  HOWEVER, they have both remained relatively calm in the midst of all of the wedding stress.  I'm so so thankful for that!  Feeling good!

9) Massages!  I treated myself to one last week.  Deep tissue and boy was I sore and boy did I need it.

10) The upcoming holidays, I'm beyond excited to have my first Thanksgiving and Christmas as a married couple.  I'm going to be all warm and fuzzy and lovey and destressed this year for the holidays.

What are you most grateful for at the moment?

Remember, even on the worst of days, there is always something to be thankful for.
