I am grateful...

I just wanted to take a minute and write down a few things that I am grateful for today...

~ My husband. For always trying to make our marriage better. For never pointing fingers and making me feel special and beautiful and totally worthwhile. For supporting me in the millions of things that I aspire to do and create. For all that he does around the house and with our family to help and aid in my many ambitions. For seeing all of my faults, flaws and weaknesses and loving me anyway.

~ My mom. For always being willing to help me out with my kids when I need to get something done. For taking the time to walk with me almost everyday so I that I can actually get some exercise (I really couldn't do it without her). For listening to me talk and ramble. It's nice to have an adult hear what I am thinking and not just children under the age of 4.

~ Chips and Salsa. Silly you say? I think not! So many diverse choices an endless pursuit to find the perfect mix! They make my mouth happy.

~ My photography. For having an outlet for my creativity. For having a way to create a small supplement to our household income. For finding something that I truly love and finding that I'm not too bad at it. For feeling that yearning to learn and grow and become better. For getting the opportunity to meet so many new people and make them smile for a little while.

~ For my Heavenly Father. For knowing that he is watching and understanding all that I am going through. For being able to pray to him and feel his comfort all around me. For the encouragement and hope that his teachings bring. For not expecting me to be perfect but hoping that I will try to be and do my best.

I am truly a lucky girl and I hope I always remember that.
