Thankful

Today the gratitude goes to. . .


Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes. I love My Body.
I am so thankful for this amazing thing. Sure there are some curves where I wish there wasn't, and I don't always feel top notch, but man I can say I am sure blessed because I get to be.That's it- just BE. It is so amazing how durable and changeable and totally amazing a body really is. To top it off I get the added benefit of being a woman. How cool is it that I have the amazing gift of being able to carry another little being inside of me until they are developed enough to join this world, and then I get to nourish them even longer after they join us.
It feels pain, joy, comfort, growth, sickness, health, and so much more I can't even describe. What are terrific creation this body really is.

PS

Okay it took me a month to realize the video I was trying to get uploaded already had been. SSHEESh

I am so Thankful for my. . .


Country, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
This is such a great counrty. It is so full of opportunites and blessings everyday. I am so grateful to be in country that allows you to vote and express your views and religious beliefs. You may not always get what you want, but it is a country made up of humans- so imperfections are the only guarantee. But with those imperfections also come so many great and amazing things, like humanity. We are so priviledged to be protected by brave men and women who are choosing to do so. They truly amaze me and I am so very proud to be related to so many honorable Veterans and soldiers.
Thank you to the Red, White and Blue!

Gratitude

Thats what the season is about-
A couple of years ago my sister-in-law did the days of gratitude and I really liked it, so I am going to copy her. But I decided to do 7 days. Not because there is not more that I am grateful for, but because I don't keep up my blog as well (as you can tell because I meant to post this yesterday :P)
So today is a double dipper



I am so grateful for my Faith. There are so many times in my life that I don't know what I would have done if I had not been raised with the knowledge that I am a Child of God. Included in my gratitude for my faith comes my gratitiude for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Many times, even when I wasn't attending regularly, the members have been there for me. In some of my scariest times they were there with only one question "What else can we do to help?" I have gained some of the best friedships in the world through this church and I am so thankful for the blessings it brings to my life. It is so good to know that above all it is the truth that Charity Never Faileth that will be the rule and I have Heavenly parents who love me and want what is best for me, they will let me make my own choices and be there for me no matter what.



Side by side with that comes my gratitude for my Family. I say side by side because I truly do believe that families can be together forever. They can drive you COMPLETELY insane sometimes, but no matter what you are connected. Sometimes I don't know what I would have done without my crazy cousins, siblings, parents, etc. They have been a support, companion, friend, and with my faith a foundation into who I am. A family truly is a living thing; family tree means so much more than a chart with lines. There are layers and roots and connecting branches in so many forms. And I am grateful for each season my family has given me.
