For him, I am thankful

I'll jump in on this "spirit of Thanksgiving" thing. Today is "one of those days". With the change in season brings excitement and anticipation for the holidays for most, but the thought makes me cringe a bit. Why? RA. For anyone with any type of arthritis or autoimmune disease, the change typically means some degree of a flare-up. This has proven to be true for me.

This is NOT the reason for this post, however.

This morning, as I awoke, Jordan already knew I hadn't slept. I have this bad habit of moaning and tossing all night when I'm in the middle of a flare up. Thus...Jord doesn't get much sleep either. Poor guy. He got up, helped me out of bed, got my medicine, made us breakfast, turned on the heating blanket, gave me the laptop so I could email my boss to let her know I wouldn't be in, and then he took time before he got ready to cuddle with me. As he left, he held my face in his hands and told me specifically why I was so beautiful to him. Mind you, I had on no make up, puffy eyes, my hair was a mess and I couldn't even lift my arm to tuck my messy hair behind my ears.

That. Is. Love.

That is a real man.

Oh, how thankful I am.

He is my angel.

He is my hero.

He is mine.

Forever.

A piece of unconventional happiness

This particular video has touched my heart in more ways than one.

God loves us all.

For those who love Him, he will provide a way for us to find our greatest happiness.... even if it isn't considered "the norm."

I mean, it's wayyy more fun to be unique anyways, right???!

Good Stuff.
