Gratitude

There are many things for which I have to be grateful. The normal responses being family, food, job, shelter, etc. However, over the last week I have (again) been reminded of some other things that I have to be grateful for. The first being healthy children. I had a friend lose his little boy a week ago to a terminal genetic disease. How grateful I am that I have been blessed with healthy children who run, jump, talk, eat by themselves, and yes, even fight. Sometimes I forget how much of a blessing that is. My heart and love goes out to that family. Number two is the knowledge of the true Gospel and the Plan of Salvation. What a blessing it is to know that we will see our loved ones again! Number three is life itself and having more time on this earth to spend time with my family. I guess getting in an accident (albeit a smaller one) reminds us of this. Number four is a wonderful patient husband. He is always there and more than patient with my many shortcomings. Number five is family who are always there when you need them. Whether it is just to talk, watch the kids, or anything else my family is there. I love you.

Happy Thanksgiving.
