Well, I haven’t actually see any living animals the last couple of days, unless you count tiny bugs, so I decided to take a picture of a stuffed animal. This works out better with the gratitude theme anyway. This is a photo of my teddy bear. I’ve had her since I graduated from high school. She was a gift from my best friend’s mom who said that when I was sad or lonely, I could hug this bear and know that I was really receiving a hug from her. This bear has seen a lot of tears and hugging since then. Sometimes when I can’t wake my husband up after a bad dream, I still grab this bear. If Matt wakes up and sees me holding tight to her, he knows it was a rough night. She is faded and worn, and I love her a lot.
