Being thankful - Day 1

There is an FB tagging post going around recently where one must write down 3 things he/she is thankful for everyday for a period of 5 days and then tag someone else to do the same.

I like the idea. I think it makes us think through and focus on all the positives in our lives instead of getting distracted and hindered by the negatives. Though no one tagged me, I'd like to undertake this effort too. On my own accord.

So, the 3 things I am thankful for today:

1) I have a loving and supportive family. For this I am deeply grateful. While we may have our differences from time to time, or irritate each other in ways no one else can, deep down we know we love each other to bits and we will be there for each other come hell or high water. Bloodties. :) Mum is coming by to stay with me for a night when K flies off again this Thurs. Deeply touched. While I feel a little guilty at having her drop by for the night, I'm partly glad as well that I'd be getting some time to spend with her. 

2) I can still somewhat squeeze into an XS-sized dress which I bought several years ago, before I even got married. Although it's a little tight fitting at the waist area but at least I can still wear it lah. Haha. ;p

3) Little Baby was playing on her own. She knew I was around in the same room and when she started getting sleepy, she crawled over to me and laid her head on my lap. Then she tried climbing on me and asked to be carried. She somehow likes me carrying her when she's sleepy. She would then lay her head on my chest or shoulder. It's a warm fuzzy feeling knowing your child wants and needs you. I shall endeavor to savor these very precious moments for babies grow up too fast. Soon she might not even want me running my fingers through her hair or patting her to sleep. Soon she will find me too naggy and restrictive. Soon....oh well. So I am thankful for these moments now and will treasure them greatly.
