I get encouragement a lot, which of course I'm so appreciative of. This week my grandma sent me what I thought was a random story. But it ended up being a "lesson" that made me smile.
She told me a story where she saw a girl who had a baby a while ago (she noted this girl reminded her of me when we were younger). She compliment this girl on how she got back into shape so nicely. The girl replied, "Thanks, but it's not like it was pre-baby". They laughed and my grandma gave an encouraging, "it will never be".
My grandma's words to me were "your body is the best it will ever be". ha ha... that could have some truth to it, but more powerfully its a reminder to be grateful for what we have pre-baby.

Like pre-baby skin (terrified of stretch marks!), sleep, laziness, freedom, TV watching, traveling, etc.
Tim and I were just talking this weekend about how crazy it is that I would have been just 2 weeks from my due date, which was 8/15. If I was still pregnant, there is no way we would have been able to go to Hawaii or float down the river, beaten Tim in badmitten and all of those other little things that can easily be taken for granted.

Thankful Thursday
8/6 – Today I am thankful for:
~ My Grandma who gives me encouragement
~ Tim was offered the city job
~ My good friends new and old
~ Laughing at work
~ My dentist not finding any cavities
~ Fun time floating down the river last Saturday
~ That Timmy only had dislocated fingers and not broken ones!
