Counting my blessings.
May. 20th, 2010 11:30 pmI feel like posting something positive for once. Because when I sit down and think about it, there is lots of positive stuff going on around me.
My father in law is a fully qualified confectioner, but has been unable to work in that field at all for years and years. It has always been his dream to go into business for himself using his trade, but he has been struggling financially and have had to take whatever jobs he could find. But now he's gotten ahead with money for the first time in his life and he is now living his dream. His putting the finishing touches on his confectioner shop to be ready for the grand opening in June.
He literally glows when he talks about it and I'm so happy for him it hurts my cheeks smiling as broadly as I do when we see him.
His wife, my mum in law, is also happy. Not only do they have money to do some things they've always wanted, she's also won a several year long battle for her disability pension. The money is nice of course, but the satisfaction of being right and having it proven beyond doubt is simply priceless. So she's also glowing these days. :o)
My good sister (as I've mentioned before) is having her second child in a couple of months, and despite a lot of the usual worries, she is so happy about it and her husband is just so in love with her that it hurts my teeth being in the same room with them and their sugary affection. Hehe. It's just so contagious.
And my sweet hubby is full of hope for the first time in years. He's been told several times in his life that he wasn't good for anything, or that there was no need for his 'skills' (or lack of, really) and a lot of other negative comments that have steadily been chiselling away at his self confidence. Now he's an intern at a huge company, doing inventory and managing deliveries. They're saying that they're very happy with him and they're upping his hours there by next week. There's no job promised in the future, but this company is always hiring people they already know, so if they have an opening, there's a good chance he'll be offered his first real job since... oh boy... before he met me.
If he gets a job there, our future is more or less secure. We can buy a car and maybe even a house and have a much more stabil economy for Pea to grow up with. It would mean so much. And the fact that I can see that he's genuinely hopeful for the first time in years makes my heart swell. He truly believes he can do this and I just happen to know that he can. So all we need is that little dash of luck. Until then, I ride the wave of my love's happiness.
And finally, of course, there's our baby. Our beautiful baby boy. We are so blessed. (Tearing up now... *wiping eyes*) Every night, our little angel clutches my hand until he falls into a calm slumber. More often than not, he will giggle in his sleep and wake up smiling. Every morning, we take that little bundle of joy into our bed for a cuddle and he will smile, laugh and bounce around until we're all dizzy with his joy and thirst for life. He's chubby and healthy and so strong I'm sure he'll be something amazing in sports some day. Our world revolves around this little wonder we created. We made this. My god. We did good.
To all my friends: Blessed Be. Share the love and be happy.
