Gratitude

All day today I have been thinking about what I am grateful for. For me it usually takes someone else's plight to help me realize everything that I have to be grateful for. My Uncle Art died a few of days ago, my good friend Karleen's husband's father passed away, one of my fellow bloggers has had a few trials in their family's lives you can go here to read, a little 10 year old girl at my daughter's school has cancer (her blog is here), one of the other vendors in our line of work who is going through a nasty divorce was just told that his 60k a year job is being dissolved and this is just to name a few.
Things I am grateful for:
  • An awesome husband who is patient
  • Awesome daughter
  • Time with Cooper
  • A job to support our family
  • A roof over our head
  • Our health
  • The Gospel
And the list goes on and on......
My husband is really good about feeling grateful and sometimes I need a quick sift in the butt pants to be reminded.

I'm sorry about your uncle. Sometimes it does take things like that in life to realize that we have so much to be grateful for! You always have the most uplifting and positive posts! I LOVE reading your blog.
