It's the little things . . .

Just had to acknowledge all the little things I'm grateful for today, and how they all add up to make me feel so blessed on a beautiful day like today. I hope it doesn't seem like I'm bragging again, but seriously, we're all so blessed. So I'm just going to go ahead and recognize it.

Today, I'm grateful:

  • for the kids in our ward's primary, who sang their hearts out for me today (sort of), my last day as their chorister (hurray).
  • that two weeks after Christmas, we have the most gorgeous sunny day to enjoy (I love Texas in the wintertime!)
  • that I finally felt well enough to get all the Christmas stuff put away
  • for a brand new year (and only one more summer in H-town)
  • that I'm pretty much living my dream life
  • that my kids are so great, in so many ways
  • that my husband is worthy, responsible, and respected by me and many others
  • that I can easily will myself out of feeling bad about life by looking on the bright side
  • that I come from pretty much the most awesome family ever
  • that we have food on our table, clothes in our closets, and gas in our car
  • that we now get to go to church at 9 o'clock instead of 1
  • that I have a normal, non-holiday, non-travelling, regular old week ahead of me
  • for perspective, which I'm trying to cultivate
  • that I am loved beyond measure by my Heavenly Father, who for some reason, sees fit to bless me with these and infinitely more blessings every day.
Life is Good. Don't forget it.

this blog post is one of the MILLION reasons I love you, girl - you give me more perspective and make me feel better just by reading your words - blessed indeed.

Mama taught me a long time ago to think of "3 good things" every day. I was feeling a little down a couple of weeks ago and Martha challenged me to do that every day and write it down. It helps so much. Great list!
