Honesty

Last night as I was crawling into bed I noticed that Willson was still awake. After listening to him play for a while I invited him to come cuddle me and sleep in my bed. His response...
"No, I'm fine."
Yep, honesty, something to be grateful for.

Grateful

We had an amazing lesson in Relief Society today about being Grateful. She invited us to make our lists of things we're grateful for. I'm going to list 25 things I'm grateful for (in no particular order). Here we go...

1. My Parents
2. My Husband
3. My Kids
4. My Home
5. My Heavenly Father
6. My Savior, Jesus Christ
7. Scriptures
8. My Sewing Machine
9. Good friends
10. PE, I know, I sound crazy here
11. Jewelry
12. Internet
13. Fires in my fireplace (thanks Andy)
14. Salt and Vinegar Chips
15. Books
16. Cuddles
17. Willson kisses
18. The Temple
19. My Siblings
20. Winco in Everett
21. Orange Converse
22. Going to School
23. My kids going to school
24. My cat
25. My bed

Now, I know some of these things are really shallow, but the point is I'm grateful. That's something that I need to remind myself of. I tend towards pessimism, so this is huge for me.

I'm taking it one step further. I've started a grateful blog. It will start with this list and every day I will add something new that I'm grateful for. Chances are there are going to be days where all it says is McDonalds or Bedtime, but again, the point is I'm grateful.
