2. Sending that e-card to my hubby filled with words of gratitude and appreciation.
3. Getting a "thank you", a hug, and a kiss from hubby after he opened the e-card.
4. Watching hubby's naked body in bed at night. Yum yum...
5. Finding a wonderful forum online for infertile people that helped me feel that I wasn't insane with all the turmoil inside me.
6. Reading this beautiful reminder when self-pity kicked in:
We have no right to ask, when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.
~ Philip S. Bernstein
And all of a sudden the world became A THOUSAND TIMES brighter! :-D :-D :-D
7. Crying out all my pent-up fears, doubts, anxiety, stress to God and feeling good afterward, 'coz I know He understands every single thought and emotion even though I don't need to use words.
8. Excitement 'coz I'm going to call my Mom via Skype today.
9. Hearing this beautiful quote while watching "The Curious Tale of Benjamin Button":
"You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went
You could swear, curse the fates
But when it comes to the end
You have to let go..."
You could swear, curse the fates
But when it comes to the end
You have to let go..."
