An Attitude of Gratitude




I feel such gratitude for some of the wonderful things in my life, and often take advantage of how truly blessed I am. Some the things I am most grateful for are:

My husband...who does more housework than any man I know. He is the best, most involved Father! After a long day at work, Zane would like nothing better than to be with his kiddos! I love you Zane!

My kids...who I adore! I thank my Heavenly Father daily for the opportunity I have to be a Mother. I have the most amazing kids! I love you Olivia, Zachary and Jacob! You three are the best part of my life and you all make me smile daily.

My parents...who still offer a listening ear and a word of advice that is often taken for granted and not thanked enough for. I love you!

My siblings and my friends...who are always offering me help and seldom asking for help in return. It is truly appreciated! Your friendship is priceless to me! I love you all!

My home...I love it so much, mostly because of the people in it!

My job...it brings me such a sense of security. At this time of economic uneasiness I am especially thankful for my job. And, as an added bonus, most days I love it!

My church...and the direction being a member of it gives.
