Gratitude

I know the past couple months have been doom and gloom for some folks, but what really tans my hide is that the news can only do negative.

I am in a state of gratitude and pray everyone will take the chance to look at all the good around us.

I know that there are some that have been hit hard by some things but gas today was cheaper than a year ago. NO NEWS!

I live my life on a cash basis and my husband has a secure job with benefits and pay.

I am thankful for my parents letting me shack up at their house every couple of years for a couple months. I also am thankful that possessions don't matter to me, so I could care less where my things are stored.

I am thankful for our church and the teachings of being prepared and showing us in the scriptures the cycle of greed and poverty.

I am thankful for my husband who is setting a good standard for our family to meet.

I am thankful for being capable of living off a couple hours a night of sleep to accomplish everything on my plate.

I am thankful my body has finally come around to this idea of being fit and starting to really take to it.

I am thankful for some awesome kids that at the zoo today I got asked.."how did you train your kids to stay by your side and be so polite?" more than once

I am thankful for the Army life I live and the opportunities it gives me to learn and grow as a person/wife/mom/writer/student..

I am last but not least thankful for my Heavenly Father who sends help on days I really need it and makes me do it myself on days I ask because I am lazy. I am thankful he forgives me for all my shortcomings and recognizes my strengths. I am thankful he softened my heart in my marriage years ago when I was being selfish and almost ruined everything. I am thankful that he didn't put a cap on the feelings of love that we can feel. It really gets stronger everyday for Toby and I have often wondered how it can get deeper.

I challenge you all, because the media will not cover it, to think about all the good that is happening in our lives. It is the positive that gets us through!
