What are you thankful for?



I have so much to be thankful for! I love this time of year when I can step back and realize all the things that I am blessed with. We are all blessed in so many ways. The old saying that you don't realize what you have until it is taken away is very true. I think that if we truly understood how blessed we we are, and how fortunate we are to have certain things in our lives, we would all be a whole lot happier. As you read what I am thankful for think about your own list of thankfulness!

*A loving husband that tries to make me happy
*Legs to get around daily (and run!!)
*Fresh, clean water to drink
*Prayer
*A warm apartment (its easy to keep a small space warm!)
*Food whenever I am hungry
*A reliable car
*The temple
*Not one but TWO families that love and care for me
*Shoes that keep my feet warm
*Money and a scholarship to go to college
*Friends that love me
*The holy ghost
*Fun experiences with Ben
*A very comfortable bed
*Medicine when I am sick
*A fun and loving ward family
*A computer to work on
*A beautiful wedding ring
*My ability to hear
*Nature and the calm feeling it brings
*Ben being employed
*A cell phone
*The scriptures
*A peaceful city to live in
*My ability to smile at other people


This list could go on all day, but now you know a smidgin of things I am thankful for!
