So Blessed

This week has been a little stressful what with all the Halloween things for my class on Monday, doing report cards, parent teacher conferences, and a plethora of other things. One amazing experience I was able to have was to attend a baptism. It just made me really think about the fact that I am so blessed to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This gospel brings so many blessings and experiences into my life that I am so grateful for. I am so blessed to know that my Heavenly Father and Savior love me and want me to find joy in this life and return to live with them. I am also so blessed with many friends that I have the opportunity to do things with. Friends that help me in so many ways and help me to become a better person. I hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Outpouring Of Love

I had a post planned for today, but that will have to wait until next week. I just am so overwhelmed by the outpouring of love that everyone showed me this weekend for my birthday. I have felt so special and loved. So, this will be short and sweet, but I'm so blessed to have so many friends and family in my life! I don't know where I would be without all of you! Thanks for making my life better.

And The Good News Is...

This week has been one of those weeks where anything that could go wrong seems to. Things like people hitting my car, large paintings falling of my head, etc... They are actually more humorous now that I think about it. This week made me think of something that someone once told me.

And the good news is...

When things go wrong it is ok to be frustrated, or sad, or whatever else your emotion is, but then instead of dwelling on it and the WHY ME? syndrome ask...

And the good news is...!

I really like this attitude and have been thinking, well, I get two new car doors. That is good news! When the painting fell on me I didn't have to go to the hospital or even to the doctor...that is also good news! We are so lucky and have so many blessings that even though life is very hard and challenging, there is still good news!

Yeah for happiness!

An Attitude of Gratitude

"We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude." ~Cynthia Ozick
Don't worry...you didn't miss Thanksgiving. I just had several experiences today that really made me realize that sometimes I do take for grated the things that I need to be the most grateful for. I am so grateful for the many things that I have been given and the chance that I have to be a little better.
