I Love Debbie Macomber. I've read probably 15 of her books in the last year. Right now, I'm reading Thursdays at Eight. So far its about 4 women who are all in different phases of life. They met in a journalism class and bonded so well they decided to meet outside of class. On Thursdays at eight.
They were all supposed to come up with a word that reflects whats happening in their lives and who and where they want to be. So I got to thinking, what word would describe me? Which puts me in a weird place, to evaluate myself, my life, and what others see in me. Its no question that a lot of people would have chosen a different road, granted mine has not been incredibly hard, just different. In being me, I disappointed a lot of my family, and friends, but in the end you have to be true no matter what other people think. So I think that is my word True. It has gotten me into a lot of "issues"with people, but being true to how I feel and what I Need (not necessarily want) is the only way to feel good about myself. If I wasn't then who would I be
In the book one of the women wrote a list of what she is grateful for. I thought I would do that too since I have so much to be grateful for.
1. a wonderful husband
2. a nice home
3. being able to not work
4. this growing life inside me
5. my dogs, who keep me smiling
6. Jesse's laugh
7. family, those who stuck by us.
8. the people who push my limits to make me think
9. awesome friends who are there and wont lie
10. being able to wake up next to Jesse even if its just for a little while longer
