I am thankful for a bright and beautiful day that was warm enough that coats were not needed. This is my favorite time of year, when the warmth starts to return and the snow starts disappearing.  I am thankful for the amazing sunshine.

Yesterday was perfect pi day. 3.1415=pi or March (3), 14, (20) 15. It may sound silly but I LOVE little “holidays” like this. I am thankful for occasions that take just any old day of the week and make it fun. Belated pi day. We celebrated with cherry and lemon meringue pie. Belated happy pie day to you.

I am thankful for a great day spent with friends and family. Swimming with the kids and grama and some friends followed by dinner with a friend finished off with an evening out playing cards and laughing till my cheeks hurt with more friends. A great day!

I am so thankful for my handy man husband. Earlier this evening one of the arms broke off of my glasses. Without my glasses I can barely see so driving or really leaving the house is out, it is to hard and too much stress. He was able to glue them so that I can at least use them until i get new ones and the repair isn’t really noticeable. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I would be very stressed out to be with out my glasses.

I am thankful for the feeling of freedom I feel today and for the feeling of finally being able to be productive instead of waiting.

I am thankful for long awaited answers. Cameron has struggled socially and at school for a long time (always maybe). He has never quite understood social cues or emotional importance. Approximately a year ago we started seeking help and information from doctors that led to a referral to a Developmental Pediatrician. After what seemed like a hundred year wait we got our appointment. Today was the second of two appointments. The doctor to Cam in to a testing room and did her assessments. After about and hour she Cam out and had Rob and I come to her office to discuss results while Cam waited in the wait area. Her diagnosis is that Cameron is Autistic. As she spoke about him and what she had seen I felt relief. For the last 5+ years I have told people of concerns I have and behaviours I have seen and they have always to me felt ignored. Today I had not just someone but a doctor see it and put a name to it. I am so thankful to finally have answers to questions that have haunted my mind for many years.

I am thankful for real Hero’s. The people who see an opportunity to help others (even if just to help them smile) and make use of that opportunity. Today I was scrolling through facebook (as I do too many times a day and I saw these posts (see links below) shared by a friend in my news feed. The first few times I didn’t pay any attention but then finally I did and I am glad I did. These to Hero’s took time out of their lives to do something amazing for some kids who really could use a hero and a little something amazing in their lives. I am thankful that Heroes don’t exist only in movies.

It maybe a small thing but I am thankful for the return of the Shamrock Shake at McDonalds. This may sound silly to most (I know does at least a little to me) but it is my favorite milkshake and they only have it for a few weeks in March. The rest of the year I just have to wait. I am so glad that they are back again (I was so sad for the few years they didn’t have them). It maybe silly but I am thankful for the silly joy I get every Mach from having Shamrock Shakes.

Today Aly and I got to spend our afternoon helping out at the boys school. It was fun helping with pizza lunch and then doing a few odd jobs around the school. It was also nice chatting with some of the staff and parents. I am thankful for the time and opportunity to spend helping out at the school.
