FM,
I love your Psalms quote. If being positive during a challenging time was easy, it wouldn't be such a remarkable feat, but your general faith-filled attitude is so inspiring to me.
I am having lunch today with a girlfriend I've known for years from church who is about to start her second IVF next month after over 3 years of TTC on her own & a couple IUIs. She got pg on her 1st IVF the same time I did with twins, but lost them at 8 weeks. Of course, she has her down days but she is certain that her time is coming ... just in God's time ... and she is positive and grateful for all of her blessings as she waits to be a mom. She says that if she can be a source of strength to anyone going through a similar trial, she is content.
I admire you two so much. It reminds me to do my attitude adjustments when I need them. The other day I was feeling overwhelmed with work stress, family drama over the impending holidays, pregnancy discomforts, and financial worries. I laid in bed and counted down every thing I'm grateful for, everything God has brought into my life, and I felt so much better and realized that things were manageable and I should not be anxious. I prayed for everyone I knew TTCing right now on this Board & here at home.
When you have a day that feels like a setback or like you are treading water, remember how your compassion and positivity radiates to those lucky enough to cross your path. I count myself as one of those lucky ones!!!
