{I'm Thankful For....}

It's been too long since I've done a GRATITUDE post. I've been in a bit of a funk this week, I'm not sure exactly why, but I'm hoping that focusing on some of the things I've been blessed with will help me snap out of it! So in no particular order, I'm thankful for.......

• Our Extended Families~ This is the theme for the sharing time I've been working on for Primary tomorrow. We're going to sing a little song that goes like this;

I have a family tree with branches by the dozens. I have Grandpas. I have Grandmas. I have Uncles, Aunts and Cousins. When it's reunion time, No matter what the weather, It is such a happy day, When the fam'ly gets together.

I'm thankful for all our great family members, for their love and support. None of us get together often enough, but is a happy day when we do. Since we don't seem to get together very often, I'm also thankful for family blogs. I have loved getting to know more about some of our cousins through blogging. I know I've learned many knew things and love reading about their lives and hope they have learned new things about me!

• The Great Weather we've had~ I love the changing seasons, especially SPRING, it's my favorite! It's been so nice to sit and read a book and watch the kids play outside or break out the four-wheelers and go on a ride as a family! Yea for spring!
• Jordan Almonds & Dr. Pepper~ Yep, these yummys have made me happy this week!
• I am thankful to live where I do~ Not only do I live in a great little town where I'm surrounded by family & friends, but I feel like I live in a great country. Nothing makes you appreciate home, wherever it may be, as much as being away for a bit.
• Modern Technology~ What would I do without, phone, email, blogs, XM radio, the list could go on and on? All of these wonderful little gems can cheer me up when I'm having a yucky day!
• Primary Teachers~ Our ward made some changes recently that have thrown our little Primary way off balance (mostly a new Relief Society presidency that came entirely from our Primary)! I've spent countless hours thinking and praying about who we should ask to teach these classes and it's made me appreciate so much those who are not only willing to serve, but want to serve and teach the children in our ward!
• The Chevron~ Yep, I'm truly thankful for our towns one and only little store, mostly the fountain drinks, but also all the other little things that I tend to forget, that they usually have!
• Lastly today I'm thankful that Lisa brought me........this little gem from her quick shopping run to Provo today! I'm a lucky girl, and I have a great sister!
