Comments on: Gratitude Journal - Day 7 http://semicharmedwife.com/2008/03/16/gratitude-journal-day-7/ Helping you find your purpose and navigate your quarter-life crisis in style Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:41:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Leah http://semicharmedwife.com/2008/03/16/gratitude-journal-day-7/#comment-235 Leah Mon, 17 Mar 2008 13:56:35 +0000 http://semicharmedwife.com/2008/03/16/gratitude-journal-day-7/#comment-235 This has been a great journal! Last night I found something to be truly grateful for, that I have been a total spoiled brat about. I joke that I have the non-existent husband. Between his time with my stepkids and working the off weekends at his bartending job, I spend a lot of weekends doing my own thing. People are always asking where he is, I miss him, and sometimes I get extremely bitter about him not being with me. Last night, I met a girl who got married in July (exactly one month before us, to the day), and her husband is currently serving in Iraq. That gave me a bit of an attitude adjustment. It may suck that I don't have him next to me in social situations, but at least I get to sleep next to him even if just for an hour or two every night. Now I'm not saying I won't get annoyed or whiny about this ever again, but it was a good reminder. I'm also grateful that it's St. Patrick's Day and I am married to a handsome Irishman who will be singing Irish songs and playing his guitar all night long! I can't wait to go watch him and be the proud Mrs. O'. This has been a great journal! Last night I found something to be truly grateful for, that I have been a total spoiled brat about.

It's inspiring and refreshing to read (and reflect) on the positive things in life. Congrats on the move to New York City! How fun and exciting. I’ve enjoyed reading your gratitude lists!
