The last few days she had not been feeling her best and I was in general feeling kind of down about that plus the stress of trying to get pregnant. I said to her "I keep wondering when we are going to get a break." To which she replied that she does not even ask for a break. She just thanks God that she is here to see another day because who knows maybe we are getting a break right now. Basically she was reminding me that things could be worse.
With that reminder I thought it was time to count my blessings and add to the #1000Gratitudes list.
