I have found that when you take the time to count your blessings, instead of counting your problems you have so much more to smile about. In the short three years of my relationship with my dh we have suffered so much and endeavored so far. My infidelities, my lies, his relationship hang-ups and all the other problems that have fallen at our feet where close to relationship ending, 

 Yet, when I look at all that we have achieved it makes these things seem so small minded and petty. The love in his eyes when he looks at me whitewashes all the pain that we have gone through (even though it was mostly me). The joy of our son makes every working day for us both seem less stressful and tiring. Very time I wake up to his horrid morning breath I am thankful that I was able to open my eyes one more time to his pure chocolatey sexiness. I just can't stop thinking of reasons to fight for what we have.

Through everything, we have stood tall and for that I have been given a loving husband, a loving son, a promise of happiness (oh, I know there will be struggles) and endless bounds of growth within a life with my family. Together forever and always thankful. So ladies remember for everything one thing that seems so gloomy and world-ending there are about a dozen reasons for you to be thankful.
