So, I’m having a pretty rough day today. All three of the grands have been sick off and on since last night about 9pm. My daughter and husband were up with them off and on all night. I have been up with them since 6am. Two of them have stopped vomiting and just “don’t feel good”. Fevers all around here today too. I thought I would take a few minutes while two of them are asleep and do a quick gratitude list. I always work diligently to practice and attitude of gratitude, but it’s days like today that I sometimes need to actually make a list.
I am grateful for: (in no particular order)
- My relationship with Heavenly Father
- the Atonement of Jesus Christ
- the Plan of Happiness
- acceptance
- surrender
- my husband
- my grands
- my kids
- the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
- the Book of Mormon
- the Bible
- the Doctine & Covenants
- the Pearl of Great Price
- the NA Basic Text
- the ability to be Honest today
- Repentance!!
- Forgiveness (for me and from me)
- Humilty
- Narcotics Anonymous
- the Church’s Addiction Recover Program
- the 12 Steps of NA and ARP
- a nice hot shower
- comfy shoes
- a lap blanket when I need comfort
- pepsi
- crushed ice
- Hilary Weeks – Live All In program
- Come Follow Me New Testament
- the First Presidency of the Church
- the Quorum of the 12 Apostles of the Church
- the Holy Ghost
- my sisters
- my in-laws
- my not-blood family
- the Articles of Faith
Some days it is good for me to list some of these things. Today is one of those days. I also feel that sometimes it is good to share my gratitude with others. Today I am glad I decided to share it with you!
