Like the fact that ever since I posted THIS post on my spirituality, my faith has grown and deepened. I don't know if it was the fact that I put it out there, so to speak, or that I got such incredible support from people who have (and do) experience the same thing, but it was cathartic, to say the least.
And the fact that the gingerbread boy I wrote about in THIS post ended successfully. When I walked in to L's room that day, he was just bursting with excitement. "Mommy! Mommy! The gingerbread man ran away! And he left a message saying, 'Haha, not here, I'm where Lunch Bunch eats!' And then we went there, and he left another note saying, 'Haha, not here, I'm where the fishes swim!' And there was a note on the fish tank saying 'Haha, not here either!' And then! And then! And then we saw a teacher with flour on her face because he threw flour at her! He's on the naughty list, Mommy! And then we found them in our classroom and we ate him up!!" Seeing the joy on his face that wasn't decreased due to a lack of participation made this momma proud.
And the fact that so many of you followed my plea on THIS post so now I can leave you comments. I'm thankful for that. Now if you'd just link your e-mail so I can respond to your comments, life would be even more perfect. Hint, hint.
I'm also thankful for coconut milk, and baby wipes that take coffee stains out of white camis, and soy-free, dairy-free butter, and Uggs, and The Hunger Games, and my Erin Condren planner, and HeyTell, and sherpa blankets, and Udi's gluten-free bagels.
But there are two ginormous things that I'm even more thankful for.
First, B got the job! It means less hours and more money and significantly less stress, and ultimately, it's his dream job. I'm so proud of him because he went up seven steps in his company, and he worked his butt off to get there.
Second is the fact that so many of you have helped to make my birthday wish come true. I'm 59% of the way to my goal and I am still so hopeful that I'll earn the extra $139 in the next two weeks. Can you donate just one dollar to people who desperately need water and make me even more thankful? If so, please go HERE.

The gingerbread story warms my heart. My son's obsessed at the moment too. Must be a school thing.

I am so very impressed with B's promotion!! that is amazing. Now since I know your prayers work, can you say one for my hubby? hehe. ;P
This is all so fabulous. Makes my heart burst. Send me an email with more deets on the promotion!
Loved the gingerbread man story. One of my husband's most vivid memories is of a day when he was sick and had to stay home from school. His teacher came by his house to check on him and told him about the class having this same experience. He was heartbroken that he missed it! He still remembers being so bummed that he didn't get to chase that gingerbread man!
I love the gingerbread story. I remember doing something like that when I was in kindergarten.
And congratulations on B's new job! That is so exciting!
And I hope you make your goal!
