Count your many blessings....

Even though it is always SO easy to focus on the BAD things that go in in life, I do have so many things to be grateful for all. I'm trying so hard to continue to find the good...even when life throws some curve balls our way.

I'm counting my blessings today.....naming them one by one.

I'm grateful to be married to my best friend. He is thoughtful, kind, hardworking, dedicated, smart, and he makes me laugh. He is everything to me. He leaves me notes in the mornings, calls me throughout the day and always lets me know that he is thinking of me. I am blessed to have him.

I'm grateful for my little Landon. He has been my buddy today helping me run errands and pick up the house....while wearing his big moon boots and purple beads that belonged to my Great-Grandma. Parks is (secretly) my "Mama's boy." At least once a day I will hear a "HEY Mooooooooom!" coming from downstairs. To which I reply, "WHAT?" sometimes a little more harshly then I should. They I get a "I just love you, Mom."

I'm grateful for Dallin. I've enjoyed the time that I have spent with him this week each evening as he comes home from school. He is getting into some harder music with his piano and so I've been helping him get through all of it. I get so excited watching him master things that he thinks he won't ever be able to do. He doesn't give up, no matter how hard the song may be.

I'm grateful for my calling. I've been serving the Young Women of our ward for over 2 years now and I have grown to love these girls and leaders more then I ever thought possible. Being able to share in the lives of these remarkable Young Women has helped me learn so much and has taught me what it really means to lose yourself in the spirit of service. My calling is time consuming, stressful, fun, and crazy at times but I love it and consider it a privilege to work with the girls.

Lastly, I am grateful today for my Savior. He knows me. He knows the things that weigh heavy on my mind and heart and I know he hears me and lifts me a long the way. I know that when I put my trust in him he will direct us in whatever direction we need to go.
