Today I am grateful

1. My washer and dryer.
2. To embark on a mini adventure (sort of).
3. for Music.
4. for Refunds.
5. for Dear Sam.

Today I am grateful...

1. Music. Singing, playing, listening to my family. It's my favorite thing to do.
2. Conference (again).
3. Computers.
4. The motivation to read my scriptures every day - which means...
5. I'm thankful for Lizzie and the challenge to do so.
6. for my mom. She's so amazing. I'm so lucky.


It's been a great Sunday.

Today I am grateful for;

1. General Conference. My favorite weekends are GC weekends.
2. To have felt energized and ready to meet the challenges of the day.
3. To go to bed knowing I left my situation better than I found it this morning. (At least I think so.)
4. For my bed. I can't wait to crawl in...
5. To have found this quote:

"Thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life."

-Wu Men (Hui-K'ai) 1183-1260

On this lovely day I am grateful for...

1. The smell of dirt on my hands (yardwork has officially begun).
2. Friends who have no idea how they bless my life, just by being who they are.
3. A husband who has undying faith in me (even though my actions provide no foundation for him to do so)!
4. A clean car (cleaner, anyway) aaaaahhhhh... (how did I think that I could be happy while driving around a giant garbage can?)
5. Eddie and his sweet song this morning. He sang so fervently-it was priceless.

It's been too long.

Okay, on this sad day, I am grateful:

1. for family
2. for friends
3. for the Comforter
4. That resilience is a part of human nature.
5. To be reminded of what's really important (even though it came at too great a cost).

Today I am grateful for:

1. Doctors that say "Aha!" when I explain what seems like a baffling mystery. I finally have a course of action to take that will feel purposeful, and hopefully help my little girl.

2. Ada, my girl. My sweet, darling girl. She's my constant reminder that if I persist in happiness, I will find beauty and music in everything.

3. Catching the leak before the whole basement "office" flooded.

4. My ipod. (Cleaning up a flooded storage room would be oh so mundane otherwise!)

5. Knowing that I won't ever pay 100$ for a cut and color again. (at least I think I won't).

Today, I am grateful for;

1. Open windows and fresh air.
2. The sound of the lawn mower.
3. My helpful, patient, devoted husband.
4. Kids that come in "smelling like the wind" (as my mother in law puts it).
5. Opportunities for new friendships.
