TTC After a Loss

Moving from TP to Grateful

Hey ladies!  I missed you over the weekend and am happy to be back.  I realized I've been using the TP thread a lot the past few weeks, and I'm trying to turn a over a new leaf when I can (I know there will be days I can't get past the TP). 

So today, I'd like to hear what folks are grateful for...even if it's something as simple as Starbuck's getting your coffee order right.

Today, I'm grateful for my own bed!  Historical hotels may be pretty, but the bed left something to be desired!

  • @MsAmandaPants it's sunny here too (I can pretend it's warm from my office)!  Enjoy your walk.

    @peggels24 I think my DH and yours may be related!  :) 

    @Frenchteachermama it sounds like you have an amazing support system!  Having neighbors who like wine is always a bonus!!

    @megrae12 Thanks!  You're not sucking up!  I think your sharing helps others to continue to contribute positive, encouraging comments.  We all are here for a safe place and can laugh and cry together...sometimes at the same time.  :)

     

  • I'm thankful for a wonderful husband.  It took him forever to propose but he was definitely worth the wait!

  • Thanks for starting this thread!

    I'm thankful for my husband, our pets, our friends, that I have a home with walls, power, and all of my creature comforts that many do not have or had taken from them yesterday in the storms.  I'm thankful for comfy PJ's, and reese's peanut butter cups, for a job (even if I'm distracted from it and on here)... thankful for people like you all who let me grieve and scream and yell about this crazy unfortunate situation we all find ourselves in.  I'm thankful for Jesus and the Bible and for my faith.

  • @WindyCity33 hang in there...it will pass...it will come back.  Whatever bad day you're having...vent here...we can take it!  :)  We may even get you to crack a smile! 

     

  • I'm grateful for my husband, my close family, my home, my (relative) health, my friends and my pets.  

    I'm also grateful for this board- thank you to this community who will keep listening and giving me hugs when I am in need.  Thank you for lifting me up when I need to be lifted.  Thanks for letting me throw around my crazy every once in awhile.

    Thanks for starting this thread lori!

  • *****Sensitive subject***** I'm thankful I got pregnant. Even though it ended in a loss, I got to experience being a mother for 12 weeks and I got to feel the joy of seeing a BFP. I was naive and I feel like I now will not ever experience the joy the way I did the first time. For that feeling, I am thankful
    Thanks for putting this into words.  I know entirely how you feel.  I've seen the BFP twice and both have ended in loss.  The second time my joy was much more tempered, but still joyous.  Hoping that we all have the joy (and for me fear) that comes with the next BFP!

     

  • p3ngu1nn Oh my goodness - I can't believe that on top of everything else, you had to deal with the storms.  I am so glad that everyone is accounted for and that you managed to get through it with only some damage but still oh my goodness - that's just not fair!

  • @GLB30 your furbaby is SO cute!!  Is he a white golden retriever?

     

  • I am thankful for many things - most of all for my family and closest friends and that we are relatively healthy and have good jobs.

    Unfortunately we often take things for granted until something happens an makes us realize what we have.

    I agree @libby+nate - I was so overjoyed. I've only ever seen it in the movies and on tv - it's an incredible feeling when it's your stick!
