Admittedly, I had a difficult time feeling gratitude yesterday.  I was feeling stressed, and I’m missing My Daddy so much, and was therefore also feeling depressed.

I really just wanted to take my sadness and depression and wallow in it.  And I did just that.  I went to bed feeling bad that I couldn’t think of anything to be thankful for.  Yet also knowing that I would have to make up today for the lack of post yesterday.  I can’t allow myself to skip a day completely.

So this morning as I reflect on yesterday with fresher perspective, I remember how I felt of glimmer of gratitude last night – It was late and I was tired.  I was reading my Kindle while Donovon was watching a movie and building some sort of something out of Legos.  I looked over at him and thought God, I love this man and everything we are together.  I got up, climbed in his lap and hugged and kissed him.  I do this fairly often, so it wasn’t unusual, but in this particular instance it made me feel so much better to feel connected to him – the love of my life for over two decades.

Why I couldn’t bring myself to write about this last night, I’m not sure.  But in the morning light of a new day, it’s very clear to me that I’m so very grateful for still being married to the love of my life.

I’m thankful for an impromptu date night with My Hubby. Donovon took me to see American Sniper at Alamo Drafthouse. We had a couple drinks and some food and relaxed while watching the Oscar-nominated Clint Eastwood flick. I love spending alone-time with Donovon and am grateful for every chance that I get to.
