So, I felt very sorry for myself last night, had a good cry/sob/howl as soon as I got home, indulged in junk/bad food, ate chocolate and bemoaned our fate to my wonderful husband. I then sat down and started to flip through the channels and saw the news about the missing Air France Jet. I eventually found a movie to watch but that sat in the back of mind all the time. Lying in bed last night I could not stop thinking about the terror those people on board that flight must have gone through in those last seconds (it’s not confirmed yet but I think we all know what happened) and of their families and friends who are left behind, those people will never again see a parent, a child, a grand parent, a grand child, a sibling, a partner, a friend, a lover. My thoughts and prayers go out to all involved; may they find the strength to deal with what lies ahead for them and may those who have passed rest in peace. How terribly terribly sad, it put things into perspective for me, my life is not so bad at all.
I used to keep a grateful journal, I have been very lax at that lately, I think I should start it again. Yes we are childless but we have so much else to be thankful for. I have a wonderful husband and family, I have a comfortable, warm and beautiful home, aside from the infertility I have my health, I live in a safe country where I can express myself, have a career as a woman and freely practise my religion, the list could go on and on for ever but I will stop here. When one writes all the little things down, you realize how much we have to be thankful for.
I am having my follow up with my RE on Thursday so will update again then.
