Today's 3 Blessings....

[Maruschke]

1 - I watched the sun come up
2 - my cycle wasn't cancelled!
3 - I got to see my potential babies!

What a lovely idea.....

1 - I had an RDO from work today (always a blessing )
2 - I got some extra washing done
3 - spent a nice afternoon with MIL and got a bit of christmas shopping done.

and tomorrow.....
I will make sure I get up a bit earlier to be more organised so I can get to the gym after work, been eager to get back after being a bit unwell last week.

What happens if you have secondary infertility but you are LTTTC?? Are you allowed to mention your DD/DS as a blessing??

great job ladies

ummm... so today... I woke up late and was feeling kinda dodgey... so this is probably and important exercise for me today.... so here goes...

1. I was able to do some planning and preparation for the next session with a client I saw this morning and it was good because it will be something I can use with other clients in the future
2. I didn't get the chocolate or anything crap for dinner (or to snack on) when I was on my way home, or in the supermarket
3. I genuinely coped well with the baby talk at work (one of the girls is 14 weeks preg, and another is nearly 8 months)

so tomorrow I can get more of this by..... staying focused on tasks at work - and I will see a friend tomorrow night who had a baby about 2 months ago - if I keep up with the current attitude I should be okay....

Now to make sure I follow yesterdays promise and finish the dishes and fold the washing... if I could only get off the couch....

sorry, I certainly didn't mean to insinuate that anyone was trying to rub it in intentionally! Just that I liked the idea, but found that every post was about the kids, and I just thought that there may be other people like me who have yet to be blessed that might find that hard.

I just thought that the people in here may be a bit more sensitive to that, and of course people can be thankful for their babies and all that - just to be aware that in here it's a sensitive topic. I thought everyone would understand that. Sorry if I offended anyone by suggesting otherwise. But perhaps this is not the right thread if you are worried that you will offend people by your positives.

I don't resent others being thankful for their children, but as I don't have a baby to be thankful for at all, I thought that there may be people in here who understood that.

N2L - I think everyone needs to make a decision about whether their blessing will fit in here - I certainly won't be offended it people mention DS or DD - it was just that in the other thread it felt that every post was about the things that DS or DD were doing.

Personally I just want to remember to be thankful for the things that are not baby focused - and I thought maybe some other people felt the same way.

I feel like if I try to keep explaining myself I will just dig myself in further - there wasn't supposed to be any rules attached - just more sensitivity to the issues we have in here. Sorry again.

Myturn, I understand .

Sometimes I am upset at things said... I know for a FACT that the posters were not trying to be offensive but I am in such a sensitive place that innocent random comments hurt me, and I want to run away to a safe place. I think you want this thread to be your safe place.

I can recognise the need .
