My own personal gratitude
Sometimes it is hard to recognize the good things in life. I look at the position our economy is in & the the trials that keep coming at me. So today I am going to bring peace & calmness within myself. To assist me in this I am going to post a gratitude list.. not so much for all of you but for me to help me see the good things that I have in my life.
1. I am grateful for my growing testimony & the opportunity to have the freedom of religion.
2. I am grateful for Kaden & Maeli, they are my reason for working as hard as I do. These two kids of mine have seen me through thick and thin. No matter what I have put them through they show me unconditional love. They are so amazing & have overcome such great obsticles in their little lives.
3. I am in gratitude for my job. There are thousands of people in the world right now that are homeless & jobless. I am grateful I can contribute to my family and that I love going to work.
4. I am grateful for my siblings. I have two amazing sisters that listen to me complain and gripe about life & if anything they are great listeners & awesome to give advice.
5. I am grateful for my Parents & how much they have supported me through the years. My dad has set such an example to me as a leader in the church & how firm a foundation he has. I admire his ability to have such an influence on people without a lot of words. My mom and her ability to enjoy life & keep busy wow! they are amazing people.
6. I am grateful for my friends. The friends that lift me up & have great expectations of me. The friends that love me & assist me in being a better person.
7. I am grateful that I have a home.
8. I am grateful for my Health. I am fortunate that my family has for the most part all been pretty healthy also.
9. I am grateful for the internet! Whoo hoo! I am glad I can get on here and catch up on everyone’s blogs to see how everyone is doing!
10. Lastly, I know this may sound wierd but I am grateful for ME! I learned a long time ago that “If it is to be it is up to me” How true this saying is. I determine how each day will go. I am my own creator & I can choose my own path. I love that I have my free agency & that I can be whoever I want to be.. 🙂
and so it is….
