I am so thankful for the rings I wear on my left hand, for the man that snores next to me each night, for the dogs that sleep on our bed (the one resting her head on my ankle and the one trying to steal my pillow space), and I'm thankful that my life is back to the happy place it used to be.

Earlier this year I thought I had lost Jeb, and the life we shared together. And it was the most painful, most depressing time in my life. I wished on eyelashes, falling stars, and railroad tracks. I said prayers, made up my own mystical chants, and slept with our wedding photo under my pillow.

And somehow, someway, we are together again. And thriving.

I am so thankful for that.

that was then - this is now
