Gratitude in My Depression

I have SUCH great friends! I've been in a slump for a while, but reading all of your supportive words is just too much for my little heart to bear! Thank you.

I think this infertility problem is something that I'm just going to have to struggle with, and you'd THINK I'd be able to control it now, but no. If I get a bit too whiny I apologize, but this blog, along with being a place interact with many of you, is also my journal, and I feel that I should share the good times, bad times, and the bumps I come across.

With this depression that has come upon me, I think today is the PERFECT time for a gratitude list.

• I am grateful that my family is relatively healthy.
• I am grateful for those dumb little things Cam says that just make me laugh!
• I am grateful for a loving husband, who, even when I'm weepy, whiny, and not fun to be around, tries his hardest to make ME happy.
• I am grateful for a messy house that provides me a place to clean and think through my thoughts that seem to overwhelm.
• I am grateful that, even though I'm very overweight, I am healthy. It's amazing to me that I'm not lying dead somewhere from a heart attack or something else.
• I am grateful for good friends.
• I am grateful for fun family excursions, even if they're just small, and Cam whines the whole way, it's nice to get away, just the 3 of us!
• I am grateful for HEAT. With the cold temps we've been having lately I've been VERY happy that our thermostat is working and that I don't have to bundle up in blankets ALL the time.
• I'm grateful for fuzzy socks and slippers.

I'm feeling better now. I just hope that I can get over these depressing thoughts soon.
