The Grateful Club

I'm joining the club. The Grateful Club. Today and always I am grateful for...

1. Health. I am grateful for my own health. I am grateful that I am able to run and be active. There are times when I am being lazy and have the thought of "what if I was never able to run anymore or physically play with my children?" I would be sad. This helps motivate me to get busy and run, play, jump, skip, hop scotch, and so on. Heck, you only live once. I am also grateful my husband is healthy and active. Again, so grateful for my children's health. I have been blessed with 3 very active healthy boys and I love it!

2. My Husband. What a man! I can't begin to express my gratitude for him. This morning he woke-up at 5:30 with the kids (thank you day light savings), did the dishes and wiped the counters. He always cares how I am doing first and continually tells me that he wants me to be happy. He is an incredible attorney and I'm not just saying this. His co-workers and the partners tell me this all the time. I am grateful for his success and his willingness to provide for our family. He is slow to anger and patient with me and the kids. I know he loves me and his children more than anything. He loves his Father in Heaven and the Gospel. I could on and on about this man. He is incredibly handsome. He makes me laugh, smile, and enjoy life. He is a man of many talents and I'm grateful I am able to spend eternity with him. I am also grateful to spend this lifetime with him because I need him to hold me when this world is so messed up.

3. The Holy Ghost. These last few weeks here in L.A. have been trying to say the least. I know they will continue to be for awhile. But because of the gift of the Holy Ghost I am able to be of great comfort. He is real and the feelings and promptings I receive from him are unmistakable. It is a blessing to me to have the Holy Ghost for he is a constant companion and I will not take him for granted. I will strive to live a life where he can enter into my heart and home and dwell. I need him. My children and my husband need him. The world needs him.
