A Gratitude Attitude....this holiday of Thanksgiving reminds me to live with this as my attitude. Through my life experiences thus far, I have learned it is hard to be down on life when you keep the good things at the forefront.
I have so much to be thankful for this year! First off, for having my loving partner Aiden by my side this entire year. I didn't realize before being in a relationship how amazing it is to have someone who loves you to tackle life with together. We have turned out to be an incredible team and have accomplished so much together in a short amount of time. I am thankful to God for having brought Aiden into my life and for giving me a partner that I work so well with.
I am beyond grateful for my pregnancy and our little daughter. I never dreamed that I would be able to carry a life in my womb and I am so grateful that God has blessed both Aiden and I in this way. I am grateful for the baby's good health. I am so thankful that God made my body very strong and capable of carrying this baby.
I am so thankful for Aiden's son and for having him in our life. He is such a bright and sweet little boy and I am so happy that he has accepted me into his life and that he is excited about his little sister! It is such a blessing to see Aiden as a father to his son and to know the kind of father my daughter is going to have before she is born. I am also grateful she is going to have a caring older brother by her side as she grows up.
I am so thankful that Aiden's Grandpa has let us live and make use of his farm for our own projects. I'm grateful that I have this opportunity to work for myself and that I get to be my own boss. I have had many highs and lows with this experience but I have learned a lot and what I learned this year will only help us be even more organized and successful next year!
I am grateful to Aiden, his family, and friends for all pitching in and supporting the creation of our cabin. It is so nice to have a house we can customize and live in on the farm and raise our children in; Although like us, our kids will probably be spending most of their day outside!
I am so blessed to live on Vancouver Island which is in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful places in all of Canada. When the ocean is a five-minute drive from your farm it's hard to imagine a better place to live! Also, only having two weeks of snow a year rocks!
I'm thankful we were able to grow enough food to last us the winter, for our animals and their good health, for the prayers from friends and family, and for all the gifts and support I've received during my pregnancy.
