Even so, it's been a difficult week, so I've had to work extra hard on having a thankful heart. This is what I've come up with:
1. I'm thankful for life's little distractions...like finding new TV shows you actually like, or tickle fests in the mornings, or what a good pancake can do to your day. If I could fill my days with color and laughs, maybe I'd have an easier time being grateful. I KNOW it's a great distraction from pain and boredom and frustration.
2. I'm thankful for great friends...especially getting reacquainted with old friends who know you and love you and get you and who just make you feel like you belong somewhere and are not alone in the world. Especially when those friends are couples that Paul and I both get along with. :) (You know who you are!)
3. I'm thankful for good health. I've been sleeping terribly, waking up grumpy and stiff, largely because I keep thinking I hear Caida having a seizure or Paul stops snoring longer than I am comfortable with...or, like this morning, I get an accidental phone call from my mom, who doesn't respond even when I call her back and I freak out until I realize that she's actually just in the shower not bleeding to death alone in her apartment that I don't have a working key to...maybe I need to watch fewer crime/hospital shows. :) BUT, I'm grateful that 9 times out of 10, it's all in my imagination and we are ALL still, miraculously, alive and kickin'.
4. I'm thankful for lds.org...especially the easy access to scriptures, Ensign articles, and devotionals/firesides. It makes gospel study so much easier sometimes!
5. I'm thankful to have afternoons/evenings to myself for a few weeks while Cerene is in "nesting" at work and that she and Paul get home early enough we can all have dinner together. :)
What are YOU thankful for this week?
