This thanksgiving 2009 I am thankful for so many things...
I am thankful for my ever loving husband who stands by me, supports me, would do anything for me & loves me for me. He's not perfect but he is a good man, a good husband & a good father. I am very blessed.
I am thankful for my mom who comes to the rescue when I get overloaded. While she can't often be with us, I know she thinks of us and is always praying for us. I am ever grateful for her constant prayers.
I am thankful for the family & friends who have helped & supportes us in so many different ways these last few difficult years. With open ears, helping hands & many, many other ways... I can never tell each of them just how much they have touched us, I& I could never repay them for their love & support.
I am thankful for my baby. My baby is just a few weeks away from his third birthday. While I am happy he is growing & healthy my heart is sad. age 2 is still a baby to me...age 3 is entering childhood with full force. I want to stop time for just a little while longer....i want a redo. I want to hold him & not let go for the next 2 weeks.
This year I am thankful for perspective. I've had a rough couple of years & serious bouts of major depression that anyone reading has no idea how badly I suffered.
I am thankful for my health that I have managed to take control of
This year I am truly thankful in my heart. I know I am blessed. I praise God for these blessings & that I can finally see just how truly lucky I am.
Happy Thankgiving.

7 JUICY LOVE NOTES:
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that the worst is over for you, and you will have a very good Thanksgiving today.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too. I enjoyed reading this post.
I battle off and on with depression too. Hasn't been bad since '99, until now, after Jesse. It's pretty rough right now. Just wanted to let you know that I know how it feels and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope you had a super Thanksgiving.
I too have suffered from depression.
thinking of you.

That is amazing stuff to be thankful for! Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful and full of memories! :)
Happy Thanksgiving! I am with you on the thankful for an amazing husband and kid(s). I am so glad you started your blog because it has let me get to know you, and I'll pray that you continue to move past the problems you struggled with because you are an amazing woman, Mom, and friend. I know God has great things coming for you.
A supportive hubs and Mom. They make my world go 'round! Beautiful post!
I don't know if I ever commented on any of this - but I love how you share honestly about what is going on in your life. It's hard being a mom sometimes (and a person in general, ha!), and I'm sure that when real depression is involved...it's suffocating. You seem like such a great mom, though, and your little guy is terribly lucky. I'm proud of you for taking charge of your health and counting your blessings. And I totally know what you mean - my eyes fill with tears just thinking about my kids being 9, 4, and 2...I want a redo, too!!! :)
