Today I am thankful for warm boots. It was the Friday morning after New Years. I wasn't feeling the greatest, a cold was coming on, and it was after our first big snowstorm of the year. I broke down, stopped into Dunhams, and found a pair of clearance boots.
They've already gotten lots of love and wear. My nine year old wears them to Tae Kwon Do because they actually keep your feet warm and dry. I've truly enjoyed the lack of wet feet with record snowfalls this month.
So what's the big deal? I'm thankful, yet I feel guilty. Sometimes it's really hard being a single parent. Sometimes it's just hard being a parent. Today I battle those feelings that I can't totally seem to shake. All those years of being told that I deserve nothing, and here I have warm, dry feet and wonder why. Wonder how. Certainly I don't deserve this.
Today I try to let the feelings of thankfulness overcome the feelings of guilt, and I'm not quite sure which feeling is winning over yet. :-)
