1. I am grateful that I had a painful incident that helped me clear up some of my thinking. I was very hurt by what I felt was a false accusation. Upon further examination, this really helped me to clear up my thoughts. Though in the opposite way that it was meant to do, I think.
2. I am grateful, of course, for my beloved John. Last night, as I lay next to him listening to him breathe, I realized that I need to make a better effort to show it to him.
2. I am so happy to have Kira in my life. I am looking forward to improving my parenting on a daily basis.
Note: Yes, i really can count, but that #3 just wants to be a 2 so badly that I can't bring myself to change it for a 3rd time. Two typos in a row and a wicked strong urge to leave it = leave it.
3. I am so happy that I am doing some baby laundry. I feel better already.
4. I'm very grateful for fresh produce. Particularly this morning- granny smith apples. Kira and I are greatly enjoying this one.
5. I am grateful for the beautiful and wonderful friends in my life.
6. I am grateful that it rained yesterday, and probably will again today.
7. I am happy that Kira slept through the night last night.
8. I am grateful that Kira has been so healthy. 1 bout of allergies in 8 months is her only illness.
9. I am happy that Kira's room turned out to be so lovely. I painted it with a heavy mask during the hottest months of the year last year while pregnant.
10. I'm so happy and grateful that it was easy to come up with 11 things to be grateful for!

I wish more people would recognize the harsh side of adoption. I would spare any mother having the experience I have, and any child, the same...
