Thank you so much for responding. Sometimes it just takes hearing it from someone else that you are worth it, even if I don't know you!

"This is just a moment in time" that is perhaps the best thing you could have said! Kinda puts this all in perspective. There are so many good things in my life right now.

Although, I HATE when people (usually my family) tell me that "oh, you have so much to be thankful for! You could be so worse off!" and then they will go on to give examples of people in worse situations. Yeah, well I am not them and it is a moot point to tell me that. It just pisses me off a little, because I feel like I should be able to control this, but I can't.

Back to my point of things that I am grateful for, I think I will list them and maybe it will feel better to see it (maybe for you as well).

1. My daughter's chubby fists
2. The fact that she has dimples (I always wanted them myself)
3. Despite the utter idiocy of my husband at times, he has the biggest and most resiliant heart of anyone I have ever met. No one should put up with the abuse that I dish out, but he does.
4. I have two other babies (my dogs) that I can't stand most of the time, but I couldn't live without either.
5. No matter how bad I feel, I can always look up at the sky and realize that there are some things waaay bigger than me and there is a purpose even though it might be hard to see at times.
6. I have a home.
No matter how stupid I look, I can make my daughter laugh no matter how cranky she is.
7. That the world is amazing and filled with wonder to her. She hasn't seen how awful it can be yet.
8. Her giggles pull me out of a funk everytime.

That's all I can think of right now. Maybe I should make that an exercise every day. Thank you for your kind words!
