Whiny Wednesday: Gratitude

November 21, 2018


In honor of Thanksgiving, we’re mixing it up a bit. Instead of the usual Whiny Wednesday, I want to ask you this:

What are you grateful for?

Often when we’re in the thick of grief it’s hard to find anything positive, but my Thanksgiving wish for you is to find a patch of sunshine this week.

Next week we’ll get back to whining. 😉

    I am thankful for so many things. We just bought a house. It has tons of space, a lovely back yard, and it is closer to my work. I am on vacation this week. I can see (have retina issues that started almost 2 years ago); which means I can still work, still drive, still craft.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    After just spending this past weekend in the ER/Hospital with my brother; I’m grateful that it ended up not being serious and he will be fine.

    I am grateful for the freedom being Childfree brings me. I don’t always see it that way but today I do. I am grateful for this blog and women who truly understand what all this means .

    I am grateful for the problems and burdens and challenges I was spared from not having children.

    Thank you Lisa and Kathleen for this wonderful site where I am finding me again and learning to find peace. I am thankful for my health, and like Claire, for today at least “I am grateful for the problems and burdens and challenges I was spared for not having children”. I am grateful too – for my tribe here and true understanding and sharing.
