Today I am grateful that Sam is home. I am also grateful for a few "things" -

1. The crystal that spins rainbows in my kitchen every afternoon (a gift from my mother in law). It's a dose of daily magic and always brightens my day.
2. The twins' birthday party provided by my mom (so fun. They'll always remember it). They're lucky to have her. I'm luckier :).
3. The beautiful afghan that I won. (I honestly can't believe someone would just give something like that away!)
4. My pearls (a total surprise gift from Sam two Christmases ago).
5. My ipod. (I know I've said this before. But seriously, it pretty much takes the place of prozac for me).
6. Girls night out, provided by mother in law last night. That was a great way to celebrate my anniversary ;)- so much fun!


I cannot believe how much I have. Not only with things of real substance (relationships, the gospel etc) but material things as well. It's just too much. I really need to do better. To give more of myself... It's time for me to step it up in a big way.

It's also time to go to bed. I'm sure this is a garbled mess. But I had to put it down.
