I love Thanksgiving time. The air gets crisper, leaves start falling and football is really in the air. I also love that it is a time to be reflective and grateful for the many blessings in my life. That being said, I am totally stealing this idea for several blogs that I have seen including my sister, Allyson, because I think it is such a perfect opportunity to list and highlight some of the things I am grateful for. I will highlight something I am grateful for daily. Since today is the 8th of November, the following are 8 quick things that I am grateful for:
- Curly Hair - Even though I complain about it all the time, I am so grateful for curly hair especially on the mornings that I am running late.
- Weight Loss - I am so grateful that I have only gained 4 lbs since losing 52 lbs and I have held it off for almost 6 months.
- Running/Exercise - I am grateful that I am able to run now without passing out when I am done.
- Health - I am grateful for my health and even though there are times that I have a headache or a cold, for the most part I am very healthy.
- Cooler Weather - After 6 months of what seems to be never-ending heat, it is finally cooling off. The high today was 88 degrees - still a little high for this time of year but so much better than 108.
- Disneyland - I know that it is corny but I am so grateful for Disneyland. My family and I love going to Disneyland and we frequent it often. We have so many fun memories and even though the boys are bigger, they still ask us when the next time we are going to Disneyland.
- Seminary - Growing up, I never recognized the huge impact that seminary had on me but I am so grateful for the inspired seminary program. Our boys go every day to a gospel driven class, learn more about the gospel and are able to seek refuge from a somewhat ugly world.
- Young Men Leaders - Our boys have had so many wonderful Young Men leaders. These leaders have helped shaped and mold our boys helping them transcend into young men they are becoming.
