Yesterday was one of those days. A day where I felt grateful at times, but as soon as I started thinking of things I'm grateful for my mind would quickly start thinking of how that particular thing could be better or just different. I was in a bad mood. I know from past experiences that when times like these occur it is important for me to take the time and write, ponder what I am most grateful for since Satan is just getting to me. You know that saying or thought of when you just don't feel like praying or reading your scriptures or going to church that is when it is the most vital time to do it anyway.
My mood did change last night, but I was not able to use the computer because Jon was working from home and the computer desk was being used. Which I am not complaining about since I am always happy when he is home whether he's working or not. It is just comforting to have him near me. So this morning I will write down some of things that I am grateful for.
I'm grateful for music. Music to dance too. Music to run too. Music to fill my spirit with. I am not musically talented. Tone Deaf is what people tell me. I don't mind as long as I get to listen to others sing.
I'm grateful for yoga pants. I would wear them everyday of the week if I could. They are my adult version of sweatpants. Yoga pants are sexier and acceptable to wear compared to sweatpants. Awesome.
I'm grateful for my friend Diana. I love her and she is the best. I am in awe of her daily because of her patience and kindness in raising her 5 kids which are all under the age of 6. She is amazing. Those of you that know her totally agree with me. Thanks Diana for your example and the long phone calls that we share.
I'm grateful for vacation days. Not necessarily the kid vacation days:) But Jon's vacation days:) Usually they go hand in hand though. That's just fine cause I got good kids. Jon has two more vacation days for this year and I'm looking forward to when he is able to take those.
I'm grateful for crayons. What would I do without these in my life or children's lives? I prefer a brand new box where they are perfect. BUT, Micah likes to peel the wrapper off and David likes to throw them or eat them. So the real question is What would they do without crayons?! Lucas, not a big crayon person.

so... I went to workout this morning and when I came home, I changed out of the sweaty workout pants and into a clean pair! I totally agree- adult sweatpants and I'm in them every chance I get. I like your honesty about seeing good but also seeing how it could be better, I'm like that a lot of the time. It's harder to see that it could also be worse. If only we ruled the world, oh, the changes we'd make!!
