Many days in my journal I write what I'm grateful for. Its a great exercise for all, but not everyone get's the BIG picture. I'm grateful for it all, but lately I've been taking stock of the little things.
I'm Grateful For These Little Things:
Breathing - Sight - Speech - Hearing - Mobility - The way her voice smiles when she says mommy - The way he hugs me tightly when he returns from work - The love I receive from my nieces and nephews - The peace I feel when I pray - Learning to live a stress free life - When my puppy son flops on his back so that I can rub his tummy - My gray hairs - the arthritis in my left hip - IBS - When a beautiful person surprises me with their kindness - That I write and can read poetry - Hot Chocolate - Vanilla Soy Milk - Relaxing baths with my different bath gels (Heavenly) - Scented Soy Candles - Music - Reading a good book - Cuddling on the sofa and laughing at The Golden Girls or Frasier - Watching nature bloom - Talking with my sisters - Creating cards for kids - Loving and being Loved.
All of these little things bring me great Joy. I choose to embrace the gray hairs, arthritis and IBS. Because the alternatives could be so much more devastating.
And as we say in Louisiana - Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez = Let the Good Times Roll!!!
So Grateful Monday!
I have so much to be Grateful for that I need to share it with you guys!
1. My beautiful friend Lilly @ Lilly's Life sent my daughter and I a gift bag of Australian goodies!!! She sent many great things, but the thing that hit my heart in the sweetest way was my very own Apron with Australia on it!! how neat!! We SO Love You Lilly!!!!
2. A few days ago I posted about a mission we are doing to honor baby Stellan whose in the hospital fighting for his little life and the following people left comments or emailed me that they would love to help out. Each lady placed an order with Oriental Trading on our behalf!!
Diane, Mommaof4wife2r, Kacey, Molly, Samantha, Darsden, and Rachel - I don't know her blog address yet.
We are Eternally Grateful!!!
3. My beautiful, sexy and kind hearted hubby handed over his bank card and said "Get what you need cutie pie" He called me cutie pie!!!!! LOL
4. My daughter received her new MP3 players slash digital camera and after she opened it she texted all of her friends and cousins to say her parents Rock. What mom or dad would not float after that reaction?
5. I posted about my dream and so many of you left the most UPLIFTING comments ever!! You have no idea how joyful and loved you made me feel! Thank You!!
6. In three days my daughter will be 14. I've been blessed to be her mom for 14 years and I so look forward to many more!
Soul Deep Sunday
In all of the years I've been on this earth I have never dreamt of myself with all of my limbs. That changed sometime Saturday night while I slept peacefully.
The Dream:
I was looking at myself in a full length mirror and my reflection had two arms and two legs. I was confused and kept asking how could this be possible. My reflection stepped out of the mirror, placed a gentle smile upon her face and hugged me. As she hugged me we lifted from the floor and kind of hovered. I wasn't scared and neither was she. We would embrace and then look one another in the eyes. I don't know if we were communicating or what, but somehow I knew her every thought.
My dream was interrupted by a bathroom run, but upon opening my eyes I felt this great sense of love surrounding me. I've never harped over my disability. I have wondered what I would look like with two arms and two legs, but could never picture it. In my dream I was given a full view and although it felt awesome to embrace the perfect born me I would never NOT want to be the imperfect born me. My imperfection is what perfects my spirit, my essence, and my heart. Being born with deformities has strengthened me in ways I can't fully convey.
I know my reason for being here at this time, in this body and I fully accept it every day I awake. In all truthfulness I guess I have known what I look like with my limbs through my daughter. She is indeed in my image and everyday I smile knowing I carried her perfect born body within my imperfect born body...Perfectly.
Namaste

Soothing Saturday
This morning while praying I told God I wanted to make him and my Grandparents proud. I go to my email and receive this message from TUT.com, which said.
I was wondering, Tabitha, if we could use your name, story, and likeness to begin promoting a new series here for angel trainees called, "Extreme Success in Time and Space"?
You blow us away every single day.
Thanks,
The Universe
That’s God at his finest showing up and showing out!! I’m richly blessed and I know this and I am indeed DEEPLY grateful.
I’m Grateful: That I received that message in my email this morning, for the time I spent with God this morning, for realizing reality from fiction, for soothing and soul stirring music, for the comforts of my home, for my family and true friends, for the many lessons I receive daily, for my life and all that it entails, for joy – bliss - and peace.

Freaky Friday w/Princess Charlie
So, my daughter's school asks me to come in for a conference with her guidance counselor regarding her excellence in academics. (Proud Mama Beaming)
School Counselor: Your daughter is excellent in school and she's just what Lee High is looking for! If she accepts this opportunity she will be in great company and will truly excel as an individual.
The Child: What types of classes would I be taking?
School Counselor: You'd be taking the same classes you would take if you were to attend Mac, but the difference is ALL of your classes will be advance classes.
The Child: Wait! Stop! You just lost me.
(She looks at me and says)
The Child: Mama, at Mac I'll only have two advance classes and those are all I can handle. I am NOT taking All advance classes! Even if one of the classes was advance finger snapping - I'm NOT doing it!
Me: Did you say advance finger snapping? (I proceed to fall out laughing as the counselor looks confused)
After composing myself.
Me: So, you would not like to attend Lee next school year?
The Child: If I go to Lee everyone at Mac would miss out on my fabulousness and who am I to deprive them of my wonder. (she was so serious)
Me: You need Jesus Charlie
The Child: On second thought there should be an advance finger snapping class. I would so rock that subject!
Me: Falls Out Laughing
School Counselor: Thank you all for coming in today. I would offer you good luck for next year, but something tells me you are one kid who does not need it. (she smiles)
The Child: Re-creates the sound that "Lightening McQueen from Cars" makes when his picture is taken.
and me? I'm rendered weak from laughter. If you could have seen this counselor's face as she fell out laughing herself!
Again, I say. Lord help meh!!!
A Mission Of Love For Stellan
Please Please pray for Mck Mama's baby Stellan! Here's the most recent update.
Stellan was consistently in SVT all night and this morning so far, but slept fabulously last night!
Here's What I'd Like To Do:
I'd like to create goody bags and send them to the hospital Stellan is in currently. The bags will go to the patients there in Honor of Stellan. But, I need a little help. If I can get a few other bloggers or concerned, caring people to purchase a few of the items needed for the goody bags I can pull this off the way Stellan deserves.
This is NOT about anyone other than Stellan. I am NOT asking anyone to send in money for any reason.

Tuesday's Tribute: A True Gentleman
This handsome devil is my hubby and today my tribute is to him. My hubby was raised by his Grandmother and then by his aunt Helen (who in my opinion did a hell of a job!). They are church people and believe in manners and compassion (woo hoo! I hit the jackpot!). Anyway, back to hubby.
I've seen his kindness and his manners in rare form MANY times, but I don't think our princess ever paid attention (typical kid). We went to Wal-Mart a few nights ago and as we were parking the car there was an elderly couple trying to get in their car. The wife was trying desperately to assist her hubby, but she couldn't really help him. Hubby gets out of the car, walks over and offers his assistance. He gently helped the older guy into his car. He lifted each leg for the man so tenderly, then he buckled him in for safety. The wife was deeply grateful and I think a bit shocked (they had been there for 20 minutes before we pulled up and no one offered them help!)
Hubby returns to our car to a beaming wifey and a crying princess. She was SO moved by her daddy's actions. He said to her "you see me help mom all the time" and she replied (while still crying) "but that's just mommy!" Well Good Grief is what I said. :)
For 6 years before Hurricane Katrina hubby was in a job with excellent pay, but no passion. The job he was offered an accepted with a loud "Hell yes!" in 05 allows him daily to transport the elderly to their doctor's appointments. He loves talking with them and helping them. This job allows him to be the man he truly is.
He's caring, considerate, kind, compassionate and thanks to The Father he's Mine!! I'm SO grateful my daughter will seek his qualities in her future mate (when that day comes).

(Author Unknown)
My friend left this as a comment on my Myspace page and I was like Whoa! Its so true, yet we tend to forget this day in and day out. I read it to my baby sister and she loved it as well. I told her Oprah is a millionaire, but I am Abundantly Rich! I have SO much that can not be purchased with money. I'm learning so much and with each new lesson I feel as if I hit the lottery!
Today I'm Grateful:
*That I am granted a new day to be His hands and feet
*That my hubby and I found one another. We are just what the other needed and it feels SO good!
*That God trusts me enough to give me the title Mommy. It is by far my greatest accomplishment and just think those dumb doctors said I'd never be able to do it. Nah Nah Nabooby!!!!
*For the many blessings in my life that allow me to bless others
*For music. It is my saving grace!!!
*For the talents He has placed within me
*For the laughter my puppy son gives me. He's a cutie!!!!
*That my household has three great chefs within it. I loves me some great food!!!
*For the beauty outside my bedroom window
*For my sight, hearing, mobility and ability to speak
*That I now know to leave everything to God and Believe with my whole heart.
*That He will never let me down.
*That I'm able to express my heart here without being judged.
As you go through this week pay close attention to those subtle lessons and gentle blessings. Noticing and acknowledging them will make a world of a difference!!
Hugs To U All!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my fab new hat that I purchased from Target. Is it not Fabulous?!

During my lunch yesterday, which was a delicious meal by Michelina along with a cucumber and carrot salad I read "The Shack" for the second time. There's a quote in this book that says:
"Faith never knows where it is going, But knows and loves the One who is leading"
-Oswald Chambers

To me it was reassurance That He is indeed with me and ANYTHING is possible! One of those subtle nudges from above again. ♥

Tuesday's Tribute: My Sanity
It Reads "Love is to think of someone else more times in a day than you think about yourself"
I dedicate this post to my sanity. I'm SO Joyful that you've returned!
I am surrounded by The Father this morning as this song plays continuously on my laptop. For a few weeks in silence I was fighting a battle. A battle within my heart and mind, but today that battle is over. The sun is shinning brightly and my heart and mind are once again at Peace. Fear can be a crippling thing, but yesterday while riding with Hubby in a gentle whisper God reassured me that He is on the Throne. I am HIS and I have nothing to fear as long as I believe in His words. I do. With all of my heart I believe in HIM and His words.
I cry tears of joy, because once again I'm reminded of His love for me. His compassion cradles me and allows me to be his little girl in my time of need. I have tried Very hard to not be an overly emotional person. I've even tried to drain out the cries of the world, but my heart WON'T allow me to Not care. Knowing that babies are dying, women, men and children are battling diseases like cancer and AIDS affects me. It grabs my heart and painfully squeezes it. But, I now know that its okay that I feel for others so strongly. He will cry with me and when I'm done He will pick me up from my knees and hold me near to Him. His love is Eternal and He finds ways of relaying that message to me.
I was led to a blog about 14 year old Johnathan who's battling Cancer and a song on his player began. In my dark moment God spoke through a beautiful young lady's voice named Hope.
Lighthouse by hope
I was lost somehow I'm drifting away
Was almost gone
You brought me to life again
So let me be your lighthouse
And I'll help you find a way out of here
Let me be your lighthouse
And I'll help you find a way out of here
I was lost somehow I'm drifting away
Was almost gone
You brought me to life again
So let me be your lighthouse
And I'll help you find a way out of here
Let me be your lighthouse
And I'll help you find a way out of here

Memorable Sunday on a Monday
Normally we spend Sundays in our home resting for our week ahead, but hubby wanted to take a ride to Canyon Lake. Canyon Lake is a beautiful location here in San Antonio and until yesterday we had never fully explored it. As I went across the dam I thought about all of you. I prayed everyone was having a beautiful Sunday. I thought about all of the children who are hospitalized and all they see day in and out are the four walls of their room. I asked God to give them a HUGE hug for me at that very moment.
I totally enjoyed being with my family and looked forward to coming home and sharing my day with You. Although, its a day later I'm sure you'll appreciate the feelings I held in my heart yesterday and still hold them today.
Far away view.
Between Canyon Lake runs a huge dam where visitors can walk across. Scared as ever we walked across this dam and fell head over heels in love with the view!!
View from right side of dam.
He SO loves being on my blog!! LOL
Have A Blessed Monday!!!

My new blog friend Tabbie has the quote below on her blog and since I read it yesterday it has consumed my little head.
Quote:
A woman's heart
should be so lost in God
that a man must seek Him
in order to find her.
A woman's heart
should be so lost in God
that a man must seek Him
in order to find her.
When Hubby and I met I had no idea he'd be in my life forever, but he knew and he wasn't scared to say so. After a week hubby looks me dead in my eyes and says "You are going to be my wife." Of course, I thought he was absolutely crazy. But he had prayed and asked God for a wife with certain qualities. Once we met and talked he says he knew.
Next month we'll be married 10 Yrs and we've been a family for twelve. Reading that quote made me think of him and our dedication to God and to one another. All I can do is Smile ☺
Today I'm Grateful For:
My Life
Family
LOVE
Gentle Kisses
Every Single Blessing
I Desire To:
Be Blissfully Happy
Stay A Great Mom
Help Those In Need
Do The Work That HE Puts Before Me
Live In & Spread Peace

Crazy Conversations!!
Ok, so I'm on my computer yesterday trying to win Awesome items during Spring Fling and my daughter comes in and we have this crazy conversation. Actually, she did most of the ranting and I sat here looking quit confuzzled. In the end I still had to laugh at her, because she's very opinionated.
I wonder who she gets that from?? *Looks all innocent like*
Said Conversation:
so she comes in my room to ask if we can watch "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Siterhood and I tell her to ask Dad, because maybe he wasn't in the mood for a chick flick.
The Child: NO!!!! We don't have to ask anything!
Me: Well, jo we have to be equal and fair to him.
The Child: equal!! Men don't need to be equal!
For years before now and i mean YEARS men have oppressed women. Long ago women had absolutely no rights what.. so.. ever! None! Not one to their name!!
Me: Well, its different now.
The Child: Yeah different. I have a problem with this!
How come for the longest men could oppress women and get
away with it then all of a sudden BAM!!! We're all "equal?"
For a few decades women should be able to oppress men!!
Take away all their right.. Lets just stomp on them and let them see how it must have felt
Me: Ummm Jo?
The Child: AND another thing men are still oppressing women!!
Its just the MAN trying to keep us down!!!
Me thinking what the H***!!
The Child: I am done now.
She laughs, then I laugh.
The Child: What is my problem?
Me: No seriously, where did you come from?
She kisses me on my nose and leaves my room.
Oh the joys of Motherhood!
Happy Wednesday!!

Tuesday's Tribute: My Puppy Son
Today I'm paying tribute to my puppy son Jasper. He's the love of my life when it comes to pets. We went through a bit of heartbreak before we were connected with Jasper. We got him at 6 weeks old and he stole my heart that very day. This year he'll be 2 years old and he's a Hoot!
He Loves:
*To snuggle
*Eating Carrots
*To have his belly rubbed for HOURS
*To give kisses every day
*For his dad to hold him as he falls to sleep
*Us and WE love him
*To snuggle
*Eating Carrots
*To have his belly rubbed for HOURS
*To give kisses every day
*For his dad to hold him as he falls to sleep
*Us and WE love him
He has several nicknames and he answers to all three. He loves going on walks with us and he loves watching me cook dinner (that's because he thinks its for him). I LOVE my puppy son and I'm so grateful God set it up for him to come home with us!
Gaining Followers For Cancer Research
My Friend Mommaof4wife2r @ A Thorn Among Roses had a fabulous idea this week on her blog. For every comment she received she donated $1 to Neuroblastoma Research. It was such a success! She received the 250 comments she was hoping for!
SAME IDEA, but a little different!
For every follower we receive At This Linkmy family and I will donate $1.
Our cap will be $200 = 200 Followers.
This starts Today and will end on March 31, 2009.
The $200 will be donated to Neuroblastoma Research
$100 will be donated this month - March 09
&
$100 will be donated next month - April 09
This way our goal is attainable!

Last night hubby and I truly talked about OUR parts in God's plan. We both know that He is using us to do his works and we Humbly accept. Whenever my day comes I want to stand before him and say without a doubt "I Gave You My All Father."
Our mission seems to change every year in some way. I now know we must be advocates for ALL children dealing with life threatening diseases.
This coming Monday I will post a very exciting post and I pray YOU ALL will join in.
It will Cost You Nothing, but the click of your mouse.
God Bless You All
