Gratitude.

This weekend was so low-key and yet so wonderful at the same time. We did a whole lotta’ nothing and it was fantastic.  The only day that had some action was yesterday because it was my friend’s daughter’s 5^th birthday and they had the most amazing “spa party” for her. It was a girl’s only event that blew my head off. The details, the pink-ness, the chandeliers, the fluffy robes and the pint-sized manicures, pedicures and facials were amazing! After that I went home to find a card and flowers from my husband, again! Now if you know my husband you know he is a kind soul. He is absolutely amazing in everything that he does. He has the biggest heart of anyone I know. He treats me like a princess and loves me unconditionally (he has his flaws; everyone does… but today is all about how wonderful he is!).

Last night I couldn’t sleep because I took medication a little late in the evening and it gave me a bit of insomnia and I couldn’t help it but count my blessings (hey! What can I say, some people count sheep, I count blessings!). As I was laying there listening to Shane snore (face it honey! You DO snore) I said a prayer of gratitude for everything that I do have.

I am grateful for:

• My husband. The definition of love. The most amazing soul I have ever met.
• My parents. Their unconditional and devoted love for me.
• My parents’ marriage. Through their ups and downs they have taught me how to be a better wife.
• My dogs. In times of difficulty they are always displaying their emotions with a simple wag of a tail.
• Shane’s job. Thanks to how hard he works we are able to survive. His job provides us with our health insurance which at this moment, we really need.
• My job. No matter how much I complain, I am thankful for having one. I am thankful for having the specific one that I have.
• Everyone’s health. Although we all have medical problems none of them are severe enough to have to worry about.
• My Superman’s smiles. I was reading a book last night and I happened to glance over at Shane and our eyes met and I couldn’t help but notice that he had the biggest, happiest smile and it made me smile… it also gave me the idea for this post.

There are a lot of other things I am grateful for (faith, hope, family, etc.) but those are the ones that stand out this early Monday morning. I am in such a great mood thanks to that smile last night, and I LOVE IT. Thank you Shane for making my life so amazingly beautiful. You are the bestest friend a person can hope for. I will forever be grateful for moments like last night and I am so grateful I can document them so that I will never forget.

What are you grateful for?

Until next time,

Your friendly neighborhood Superwife

Picture number 4… The Mystery Rose.

Hello lovies!

Today’s picture brings a smile to my face… in a scared kind of way (LOL). You see I got to my office today and in my mailbox outside of my door was this…

Innocent right? Sure… Except I DON’T KNOW WHO IT’S FROM!!! My favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day. One of my favorite colors is pink… OK… so this is a Valentine’s Day rose… made out of PINK MARSHMALLOW PEOPLEEEE!!!

I gotta say… I’m not freaking out. Yes, I work at a place with a lot of people, and yes, I have many patients…ANYONE could have put it in my box, or the rose could be made out of poison, snow-white style (oh wait that was an apple) but it kinda made me smile. This week has been a tough week so whoever you are…  Thanks.

Until next time…

Your friendly neighborhood SuperWife.
