I can't believe what a slacker I have been at counting my blessings! I'm going to blame it on the fact that I wake up too early in the morning to go and work out... so when I get around to thinking I should sit down and write all the things I'm grateful for, I'm just way too tired. =) The list is getting extremely long though and that in and of itself can be a daunting task so I'd better get after it!
Today I am grateful for....
*** Temples
*** Spring Time
*** Easter
*** Christ Overcoming Death
*** My Knowledge of the Gospel
*** Other people's trials that help me keep my challenges in perspective (If you want to know what I'm talking about... feel free to check out the following blogs)

*** I'm grateful that when I think life is hard... all I have to do is look around and realize I don't have it so bad after all.
*** Grandparents
*** To be employed
*** Wonderful friends from all around the world!
*** Whitney Norton who I just love to pieces! She can always bring a smile to my face. =)
*** General Conference and the desires it brought for me to become better!
*** The divine gift of Prayer which allows me to communicate with a loving heavenly father!
Let's be honest, the list could go on and on and on! There are always sooo many things to be grateful for. It seems that the more you count your blessings the more you realized how many other blessings you are being given! I love what a difference it makes when you choose to focus on the positives rather than the negatives. =)
