What am I doing?

I am grateful today for: health, family, friends, productivity, finding my stylus, hope, ideas, revelations, feeling safe and comfortable, my time well-spent, my time with my daughter, being able to see my baby growing and developing...

I am annoyed because the pen to my tablet is missing. I usually do my daily sketch now on the computer and I can't now. I guess I have to do it the old way with just pen and paper.

I am grateful for: getting up early in the morning, getting something accomplished, the many forms of assistance I am receiving, my family, my friends, my babies, our health, this quiet moment alone, getting to play with my daughter...

Everyday, I try to list at least five things I am grateful for but this list isn't taking place real-time. I noticed today that as I am going about my daily routine, I am not taking notice of what I should be grateful for moment-to-moment. Fortunately, earlier this evening I had such a moment when I was fully present and grateful for the experience.

I was having a difficult time getting my daughter to go to sleep. She wouldn't stay in her crib and while in the bed with me she was squirming all over the place, banging on the walls, and playing patty cake on my back. I was annoyed and I just wanted her to sleep. Then, she tumbled over me from the back, snuggled up against me and closed her eyes. It was at that moment that I realized how lucky I am to have her and to be able to hold her as she falls asleep. I noticed how perfect her little chubby hands were and I remembered just what a miracle and a blessing she is.

This shift in attitude was such a shock to me. It felt so nice just to appreciate what was happening as it was happening. It just made me think of how much of the day goes by without me even noticing how blessed I really am.

I am grateful for: my friends and family, energy, being productive, everything I have learned, my free time, having enough to eat, my home, help...

I am grateful for: peace of mind, hope, financial support, emotional support, life, my children, my home, my family, my friends, progress, health, new ideas, inspiration, time to create, time away from the house, playing with my daughter, hearing "mama"...

Today I am grateful for: my babies, my health, my friends and family, a safe place to live, knowing I am loved, finishing an assignment, my time alone, the times I have laughed and smiled, playing with my daughter and hearing her shriek with laughter, getting to bask in sunshine, the baby finally falling asleep.

I realized today that my chronic worrying seems to be going away. This is good, but it has been replaced by a feeling of being lost. I feel like I don't know where I am or where I'm going but I know that somehow everything is okay. I am in a place in my life that I never imagined I would be. It is so far away from my expectations that I just don't have any reference point. I would rather feel this way than to have anxiety about what my future holds. I am hopeful, I know that things will work out.

I have reached a point in this pregnancy where my body hurts. It isn't severe pain; I just wake up sore in multiple areas of my body. I am getting larger and I can literally feel my body stretching. It is time to get serious about regular exercise and to start my hypnobabies study again. I want to be physically and mentally prepared for Birth Day.
