Gratitude- Day 17

Am grateful for people who inspire me. There are so many and I am just blessed to have many people in my life who inspire me to be better. Because I have mentioned already many people who inspire me this post is dedicated to people I don't really know personally but they inspire me anyway. There are good people in this world and that gives me hope.

Gratitude- Day 16

I'm grateful for my country and for my freedom. There's nothing like patriotism and the feeling you get when you hear the national anthem or God bless the USA or when you see videos of military men and women coming home to their families after serving their country, etc. It is all a blessing to live here and to be a part of it.

Gratitude- Day 15

I'm grateful for the scriptures. I don't read them or understand them as much as I should but I do believe they hold the answers to all things and they are the words of God.

Gratitude- Day 14

I'm grateful for friends- old and new. For friends who have been there for me in the past and for the memories I have of them. And for friends I continue to make. Specifically, a friend that has been there for me countless times in the last two months and who has taught me many things about myself.

Gratitude- Day 13

I am grateful for technology, especially youtube because when I miss things like the CMA awards I can go back and watch performances like this one.

Gratitude- Day 12

I am grateful for temples. They give me hope every time I look at one and I pray for the day that someday I can enter the temple and be sealed to my future husband. The promises of the temples are what keeps my faith and my testimony strong no matter what trials are thrown my way.

Gratitude- Day 11

(Got some catching up to do. it would bug me if I skipped a day) I am grateful I am able to go to school at SUU. I generally hate school and can't wait to be done and out of Cedar City but I am glad I made the choice to go to school and to study what I'm studying. It has taught me a lot about life and about myself.

Gratitude- Day 10

I am grateful for.... now don't criticize.... Mt. Dew Voltage. (Only the blue kind)It doesn't taste like Coke or Dr. Pepper or even Mt. Dew, which I don't like the taste of any of those mentioned. It is just delicious and refreshing to drink (I know, weird. I don't know how else to describe the taste :)

Gratitude- Day 9

I am grateful for all my nieces and my nephew. They are just the cutest little kids ever with the sweetest spirits and I adore every one of them!!! I miss them every day and wish so much that I lived closer so I could see them more often!

Gratitude- Day 8

I am grateful for the mountains and how they surround us so beautifully!

Gratitude- Day 7

I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and the Atonement.

Gratitude- Day 6

Today, I am grateful I made it to work safely, driving in the snow/blizzard with both windshield wipers not working at all! (I prayed the whole way there while listening to the Forgotten Carols song 'Three Kings' ..."Three Kings found the way, and so can we!" And I did! :) I don't care what anyone says, I am a skilled driver. :) Also, that I made it home safely (again in the snow/blizzard) with one wiper working, thanks to a good friend who fixed it "temporarily" on his break at work.

Gratitude- Day 5

I love music and am grateful for all kinds in my life. It's amazing how music can change my mood and can comfort me when I need it. :)

Gratitude - Day 4

I am grateful for my siblings. (again, in no order) Daniel is a huge example to me and I miss him every day! His willingness to serve a mission is awesome and he is awesome! Natalie has been one of my best friends for a long time now. I am glad I have gotten to spend so much time with her and I am so very grateful for all the many things she's done for me!! I have always looked up to Liz from the time I was a little girl. She is independent, smart, and beautiful! Now and as her little girl grows up, she is going to be an amazing mother! (Already is) Amy is also someone I have looked up to for a very long time. I admire her and all that she does for her beautiful family! All my sisters are smart, beautiful, and kind and I love every one of them! Daniel has always been the favorite, I think. :) I love him, too, lots! Ben and Jarom are also good examples and I appreciate all they do for their families. :)

Gratitude- Day 3

I am grateful for my grandparents. (These things are in no order, just random) Both my grandmas are two of the most amazing people I know! They are strong and have overcome many struggles and trials in their live. And my grandpas, too, are amazing and people I look up to with great admiration. I am so lucky and grateful that all 4 grandparents are still alive today and have lived close by almost my whole life! (Till I moved for college) They never missed an important event in my life and they strived to attend every other event or activity I had going on. I love them all lots!

Gratitude- Day 2

Today (actually yesterday, I am just a day late) I am grateful for my parents. Actually, every day I am so very grateful for them. My mom is kind, caring, and fun! She never hesitates to help me whenever I am in need and I am not sure what I would do if she didn't help me and if she wasn't there when I need it. My dad is amazing! He is also kind and fun and also patient and loving. I love that I can say I never heard him raise his voice at me. He, too, is willing to help me whenever I am in need. I love you both dearly!!!

Day 1
I am grateful I have a job. I may complain about it a lot but at least I have a job, which is better than not having a job. It pays the bills!
