I have to admit as much as I love the idea of Gratituesday, writing posts for Gratituesday is sometimes a lot harder than it should be.  Don’t get me wrong I’m not a total grinch, but sometimes all I can come up with to be grateful for are little things that I don’t think anyone wants to read about.  Sometimes, my heart is so heavy, I let that nasty little voice inside my head say “Why would anyone care?”

Today, however, I have an easy Gratituesday post.  It’s my 14th wedding anniversary.  I have to say that some of those years have been pretty long, some of them shorter than others but have aged me significantly.  Overall I have to say I am one blessed woman with a husband who God gifted me with who is just right for me.  Irritating enough to keep me interested, strong enough for me to respect, and who loves me.  Not that noun “love” thing, all though I’m pretty sure he feels that too, but the verb.  He chooses to love me everyday.  When I’m grumpy, when I’m tired, when I’m downright mean, when I’m fat, when I’m irritated with his mother, when I’m irritated with our children, when I’m irritated with myself. 

He makes me garden boxes even though I have a black thumb.  Then he moves them the next year because they didn’t get enough sun (not that the plants died because I have a black thumb).  He used to stay home with 2 babies every other Saturday so I didn’t go insane.  Flowers, chocolate, and romantic getaways are all great, don’t get me wrong, but my man has them all beat.  He cleans up when the kids puke on the floor.  That, my friends, is true love!
