I am thankful for:
- Being rich. Actually I feel really poor most of the time, but honestly you have to admit that "poor" in this country is actually extremely rich to a person living in a third world country.
- Where would I be without running water, electricity, a heater, humidifiers, and all of that other stuff that "rich" people have?
- The Atonement and all that Christ's sacrifice encompasses- as well as the sacrament, and temple ordinances that remind me of the Atonement.
- My cute little family- my babies (e.g. three youngest siblings still at home) are growing up :,( I'm glad I get to be here to witness the transformation, instead of seeing them only a few times a year and being shocked by it!!!
- Friends, even if most of them are miles and miles away. Yeah for "Facebook" and Blogs!
- Friends who live nearby. Sorry I don't see you guys as often as I should.
- Scriptures- My first true love.
- Education- even if it is a different kind than expected.
- Books! I'm getting into Classics again.
- Prophets. I've listened to Pres. Monson's General Conference Talks a few times, and WOW What a blessing to have him here to guide us.
- Callings. I still don't have one, including VT (I've learned that things go a lot slower in family wards because they don't expect you to be gone in four months), and I'm realizing how nice it is to serve in the church.
- Oh, how could I forget the great blessing of having someone nice to date? Even if we spend a lot of time freaking out, at least we're freaking out together :)
- HEALTH. I'm mostly healthy right now, and it's a fantastic feeling.
- Teenagers who help me dress. I wasn't aware that I had such bad fashion sense, until I moved home and asked how I looked!
- Dreams and goals. I love to plan things, and even if it doesn't happen, at least I got the joy of planning, dreaming, and making the goal.
- Working with people in a job that isn't rushed and stressful.
- Nice weather. I'm glad I can still pick up Hyrum (the boy I work with) at the bus without wearing 20 layers.
- Taking time to watch the wind blow through the trees, or being able to see an entire sunset is something I haven't done for years. Now my life is scaled back and I can do the simple things.
- Laughing!
- Hip Hop Abs, Tiebo, Yoga for Beginners, and Paola who has all of the above :D
- Cashflow(a game to help you understand finances). Someday I'll finish it in a 1/2 hour!
- Inside jokes. It doesn't matter who it's with, they're always fun to have.
- Road Trips. As always, traveling is one of my favorite things to do.
- Hikes, especially the crazy but memorable ones.
- Not being ticklish! I can definitely use that to my benefit.
- Gardens. It's always nice to have fresh fruit/vegetables.
- Traditions, for holidays and other times.
- Music. Although I am rebellious and don't attend ward choir, caroling is still one of my favorite things to do.
- Meeting new people. Love it, enough said.
