I'm going to try this again. I haven't written anything for almost a year. I'm not even sure why I stopped. I can't promise that I'll be great at this, but I'm going to give it another try. Lately I've been having a hard time being positive. I feel like I'm focusing on everything that isn't working in my life and not focusing on my blessings. Listening to conference a few weeks ago, I heard quite a few people talk about focusing on our blessings, especially when things get hard. Then, I was talking to my mom today and we were talking about my blog. I remembered when I was looking for things I was grateful for every day, I had a much better outlook on life. I knew I was going to have to write stuff down on my blog, so I went looking for my blessings each day. I found more than just what I wrote down and I was more grateful. So, here I go . . .
1. I am grateful to have a contractor that is willing to come back and do a job completely over again, even when the problem wasn't even remotely his fault. I'm grateful that he is willing to take weeks off from his job to make sure I have an awesome floor. Thanks Matt!!
2. I am grateful that I have a husband that loves to work outside and is willing to scrounge things up to make his projects work. I love seeing him get excited about his projects. I also love it when, even when things don't go exactly as planned, or start going wrong, he doesn't give up. I love that he gets the kids involved so when things start working out, they feel a responsibility in that.
3. I am grateful that I have a laundromat close by so it's not a big deal to go get my laundry done while my kids are at school. I'm also grateful that that laundromat is close to Nathan's work so he could come and eat lunch with me.
4. I am grateful that I am able to cut hair. I love it when someone comes to see me and you can tell they aren't feeling fabulous, but after I get done with them, they feel so much better. I love feeling like I helped out with that. My mom and I were talking about other professions that don't get that. They make your life easier, but you dread going to them. I'm glad I have the profession I have.
5. I am most grateful for medicine tonight. I'm grateful that I live in a day when there is a medicine that I can take to take the edge off of fevers and can break up whatever party is going on down in my lungs so hopefully I can sleep tonight. Speaking of . . . I think I'm going to take some and go to bed.
