So many things...I have decided to publicly write this list because I was in sacrement the other day-which is a meeting at my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and this friend of mine was speaking on gratitude. She incorporated in her talk parts of her journal that she had written down in a trip to an orphanage in Romania-I think. But it was a journal on gratitude. In my hand written journal that I try to keep, I end it with writing a couple things I am thankful for-I am going to write down some of the things I put in my journal.
(now these are not in any order of favorites).
Family, Friends, the testimony I have of my church and its beliefs, the Prophets, hairbrushes, fluffy pillows, watches, my nose, my eyes, all of my limbs, FOOD, music, Ibruprofen, dentist, doctors, teeth, eye mak-up remover, thankful for my feet not huring as bad anymore (DANG that plantar fascitus), my church calling, little children, stories, toilets, dishwashers, cars, computers, schools, safety, warm home, pictures, shoes, paper, pens, radios, airplanes, horses, dogs, vaccuums, windshield wipers, food in grocery stores, money for food, my hair, I am thankful that my parents took care of me and loved me even when I chased my mother around the house with a dead mouse numerous times and had to call my dad to come home and take care of me and the dead mouse. I am thankful for the trips I go on, I am thankful for my Heavenly Father, missionaries, utensils, stoves, the beautiful outdoors, mountains, sports, soccer/volley/basket/base/tennis/footballs, I am thankful for electricity, garbage disposals, recipe books, boyfriends, hugs, kisses, massages, manicures/pedicures/ books, baby wipes, cleaning supplies, grocery bags, bicycles, neighbors, garages, trees, candles, picture frames, stickers, pencil sharpeners, ringed sleeves......................birthdays, Thanksgiving
and the list seriously goes on, I have so much to be thankful for, but the number # thing I am so indebted to and Thankful for is our Heavenly Father and his Son JESUS CHRIST!
I know some of these are a given, but some are not, some just surfaced because they don't really get recognition for the purpose
