OK . . . So this is what I am looking for . . .
I would like you to leave a comment on this post about something that you don't really think of as a blessing on a day to day basis, but you would be at a loss if you didn't have it.
Mine: I didn't realize how lucky I was that I could just pick up my youngest little girl and hold her. I missed that sooooooo much, and really didn't think a lot about it until I couldn't do it anymore.
What about you?!?!?!?!
I can't wait to hear the responses!!! <3

I'm so lucky to have such a loving and romantic husband!
This is going to sound so silly, but I'm grateful to have colorful pens & notebooks :) Depending on my mood I choose a different colored pen to make notes, list, and journal with. Writing is something I adore ;-)
WOOO! Well living in a different country made me really miss and appreciate Jif peanut butter ;) haha... on a serious note. I miss my mother. I used to get annoyed with her, but now I am so excited to be moving back home again. I just want to hug her and take her out for some great seafood and let her know I missed her and still love her and still plan on taking care of her when she can't do it herself anymore. Her and my father.
Another thing I realize I take for granted is my own security as a wife and mother. I am a straight, white, married woman. I have it all. Others in my family have been struggling for years just to make sure their own children would go to Mommy 2 if Mommy 1 passed away. I have family who were put in internment camps after Pearl Harbor because they're Japanese. I will always be "safe" because I'm not scary to the general population, and I take that "blessing" as a charge to fight for others who weren't so lucky.
I'm so blessed to have God in my life!!! Without him I am nothing. God has blessed with a wonderful husband and awesome great children!!
My kids drive me crazy at times and it annoys me. I was away for a month without my children and husband, i missed them so much! It was so hard and sad to be away. I now appreciate every moment with my family and love them like crazy,even tho they still drive me nuts:) I thankful God for my special,loving family!!
Access to modern medicine. I wish I didn't need it so often for my kids, but I am grateful for it. I know if I was a mom in a less developed country I would not have the medical care my family has required and we would not all be here.
A couple of weeks after Christmas my daughter had a nightmare about a giant coming into her room and kicking her out of her bed so that he could sleep there. In the four months that followed she slept in her own bed a total of four times. For the last week she has slept in her own bed 6 of 7 nights. While I miss her in bed with us (something I never thought I would say), I 'm so happy that she felt safe with us and knew that we would protect her, no matter how irrational her fear. That is worth any amount of interrupted sleep.
The Internet! I live in Jordan, but I have friends all over the world and I love checking on their blogs and FB pages so I remember I'm not alone over here.
