1. Last week my husband finally got a bona fide, salaried job in his field, with benefits and all, and making more than he has in the past doing the same work. He has been laid off for over a year, and has been working a grunt job since March. Things have been tough for us, not just financially, but also relationship-wise. He has been suffering from slight depression and an overall sense of worthlessness. In fact, we didn't know how tough things had been for us until we experienced the release of good news after all this time. Things are looking up!
2. I spent a great week with my crazy family last week. I ate too much, drank too much, didn't get enough sleep--but it was worth it because it is going down in the annals as one of the best family visits, ever. The only thing that could have made it better is my husband's presence, but there will be other visits. Also, a trip to London to visit family might materialize in the near future.
3. My mom may have finally broken up with her emotionally-destructive and physically abusive boyfriend of 5+ years. She left him and was looking for houses last week when I was there...she wants a place of her own, away from him. Though I'll hold off believing it until it finally transpires, that's still something to be thankful for.
4. We started our 1/2 marathon training this week despite recent running
5. In my immediate friend realm, I am happy for friends who are expecting, and another friend who is expecting to get engaged very soon. Lots of happy events will be occurring in the coming year, and I feel lucky to be a part of it all.
Wow. FIVE things to be thankful for--that's quite a lot! All of this positivity is making me depressed however; I'm going to bed.
