This has been a lesson I've been learning for years. I think I might have finally got it though (knock on wood). The past few weeks have been rough. Yes, I'm still happy. But I've been a bit discouraged about where my life is currently. But I decided to start looking at how I am being blessed instead of how I'm not being blessed. It really has helped me be more positive and even happier.
I'm grateful for.....
1. My new niece, Penelope Melinda, who is the smallest, cutest little baby you've ever seen.
2. For the fact that it is now socially acceptable to wear stripes and polka-dots at the same time!
3. For the Spring weather. I've been loving the sunny days and then still getting to fall asleep to the sound of rain.
4. For a good friend who can tell when I am down and will give me a rocking pep talk.
5. That I got to cook a gourmet dinner on Sunday. #thenexttopchef
6. That General Conference is this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously so dang excited. "It's the most wonderful time of the year" (please sing along). #LDSconf (Follow me on Twitter- I get a little tweet happy this time of the year)
7. One of my students and best friends returns from her mission on Friday. I haven't seen her in 18 months. Things are about to get real folks.
8. How long my hair is getting. Even though I'd like to cut it off at least once a week, I like how long it is getting. Makes no sense, I know.
9. For my bro-in-law who put up with all of my obnoxious comments during church on Sunday.
10. For the miracle that is me running four days straight last week. I'm sure the angels were singing in heaven.
What are you grateful for this week?
