5 minutes friday

this is my first time doing this. i found this at gypsy mama's blog. thought it would be a great idea to do this each friday.

here is how it works!
1. Write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in {you can grab the button code in my right side bar}
3. Go and tell the person who linked up before you what their words meant to you. Every writer longs to feel heard



today's word is grateful.

i have so many thing in my life to be grateful for right now. i never thought my life would be this wonderful. i never thought i would have this amazing little boy that rocks my world. i never thought i would meet a man that cares about me. it is such a feel that you can't describe.

i tried for 19 years to get pregnant. infertility dr's. dye test to see if my tubes were open. clomid. all along i never thought that it just wasn't meant to be with the person that i was with at the time. i used to get a little mad when people would say "all in god's timing." no...i wanted it now. but god knew that i wouldn't want to be stuck with my ex for the rest of my life. plus, he knew that he would not be the father and husband that i would need. i am grateful for the experience i had with my ex. it made me realize a lot of things, mainly that i am strong. that i can do what i set my mind to do. i realized that life is too short to take things for granted, especially happiness!

i'm grateful for my family. at first they didn't understand why we seperated. but i know they see now how much better i am. i am grateful that god sent me eric and his family.

i'm grateful for my job. i was in a crappy job for about as long as i was in that crappy marriage. i guess it goes to show you that once one thing isn't going well others follow along.

i'm grateful that i have such support. i have some awesome friends that i wouldn't trade for the world.

life is 100% better. not a day goes by that i don't thank god for my son, husband and this great life!
