Lately on my commute into work, I have noticed that I have this sense of calming happiness. Despite dealing with the emotional roller coaster ride of infertility, I am truly happy. How can I not be though? I have an amazing, supportive husband. I have a great family, both immediate and all of my in-laws. And I have to say, I lucked out in the in-law department after hearing some of the stories from friends about theirs. I have a job that I enjoy with a company that really looks after its employees. I have friends that after hearing about my infertility, are sympathetic to my situation and want to know more about infertility. The bonds between some of my current friends have grown stronger and I have reconnected with some old friends that have gone through similar situations. I am losing weight and getting healthy. I feel awesome. I'm loving the way I look. Then I can't forget my two pups. They always seem to know the exact time I need some cuddles.
I guess this happiness is the reason why I want to participate and/or donate to some charities lately. I started a Relay For Life team to raise cancer awareness for the June 1st relay event. My mom and my grandmother are cancer survivors so I wanted to help raise awareness. I am going to start using my couponing skills to get some items really cheap so I can donate them to a local domestic violence charity. I'm even considering volunteering for their after school tutoring program. It was very important to me to better myself so I didn't have to depend on my husband/boyfriend and feel trapped in a bad relationship (in the event I was ever in one) because I had nowhere to go. I wanted to pay it forward and help victims and their children start over.
All in All. I'm pretty happy. Now if only the ovaries would get in gear..
