Focus on what you have 6/12/10

There are random times in any given week when I stop and think to myself "I love this about my life." or "I'm so lucky because of this or that."

This week I have been thinking:

• Sad as it is that this isn't true for everyone, I am lucky to have health insurance. I had to go to both the dentist and the doctor, this week. If I didn't have insurance I wouldn't be able to go and that's ridiculous. Since J and I aren't technically married, he and the Teenager (because she's my stepdaughter) can't be covered under my insurance. So, J and the Teenager haven't had insurance since 2001. Since I'm focusing on what I have in my life I won't get into how stressful that makes me here. I will focus on the fact that I have insurance which I tend to need.
• No cavities :) that's another good thing.
• Again, I am thankful for this little Stinky Boy sitting on my lap as I type. If I never have a baby this will be as close as I get.
• I'm nearing the end of my graduate school studies. I am in the midst of writing my thesis (oh boy), and then I have one last class this fall, so I graduate in December. I'm so frickin' lucky to have this opportunity. So I'm grateful to be able to go to school plus I'm grateful that I'm almost done!
