Thursday Thankfulness
Today was a less than optimal day, so while it’s been a challenge to think about gratitude, I’ve found that thinking about the things that I feel grateful for has helped salvage the evening.
1. I am thankful for the other autism bloggers around the blogosphere. Since starting this blog (even before to be honest) I’ve done a lot of reading of autism blogs and their honesty, perspective and humor have helped me enormously every day. So, thanks!
2. Although sometimes it’s too much, I am actually grateful for all the help we get from our families. I’ve always been very independent and hate to ask for help, but sometimes, I’ve just got to bite the bullet and accept it. Life would be much harder if I didn’t have that option because the help wasn’t being offered, so I can’t complain.
3. I am thankful for rainbows. Amazing how something as simple as a trick of light can always remind one to smile. I think Gus would relate.
I’d love to hear about your gratitude today!
I am grateful for your blog. As a step mother to a high functioning autistic boy, I am grateful for the insight other mom’s have.
