Gloomy, eh?

Someone said I sounded gloomy today.  :(  I don't know how to act happy.  That is horrible!  I am trying to be more positive, and one day in, someone says I sound gloomy.  Just call me Eeyore. 

"Looks like rain today...."

Deep Breath Out

Last post REMOVED!  I do not need more negativity clouding my vision, nor do I give that woman any more space in my life than absolutely necessary.  There.  Whew. 

As any naturally negative person does, I have given myself a name that makes excuses; Realist.  With that title, I can spout off anything I want, and if I start feeling bad about it, I simply say, "Well, it's true!  I'm just being a Realist."  Not good enough.

This blog is about infertility, so I don't write about tiptoeing through the proverbial tulips, but I need be more positive about the good things in my life.  Because truly, I have abundant gifts that I far too often forget to mention!

I am so thankful for my husband.  I couldn't love another person as much as I love him.  He's my heartbeat.  His honesty, his kindness and compassion, his touch...  I love all of him.  He is often a mirror for me, my true compass.  With him, my life makes perfect sense.

My family is such a blessing to me.  My niece is a beautiful, unique, smart, funny person whom I've loved since the minute I saw her in the nursery window, dark cheeks puffed out, face crumpled, squawking about life outside the womb.  I have watched her grow, and I adore what I'm seeing.  My sister and I experienced our childhoods together, and now, as adult women, we love one another even more deeply.  I couldn't ask for a better sister.

I have few friends, but each one is special.  They lift me up when I am down, rejoice with me when I am happy, and bring joy to my life! 

Things often come and go, but the love of family and friends you can carry with you always, through trials, through hurts, through the good times.  I hope I give back to the people that surround me as much as they have given me, if that is possible.

LIG....
