Being Grateful

My "sister-in-law" had this posted on her wall, I'm not sure who said it but it was great:

---
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

So, I'm going to challenge myself to be more grateful, to see my blessings instead of just the things I'm not happy with. I think I'll write a few down actually:
  • My wonderful husband- who supports me in all I do
  • The opportunity to let others touch your life (Elder Wirthlin)
  • Good friends and beautiful weddings
  • My car
  • My job
  • Being able to go to school for whatever I want
  • Being able to make my own choices, even if they aren't always the right ones, I am grateful for the chance to learn from them
