Today...I am grateful!

I am grateful that Sierra had the opportunity to go to Stake Activity Days this morning and learn so much! She enjoyed every minute and is soaking up and relishing in the Gospel. She says the gospel makes her happy and feel good. :)
I am grateful to her leaders and the time they take to teach my daughter and lead her in the path of righteousness.
I am grateful that Sierra writes down her blessings every night. She is a great example to me!
I am grateful to my mom for giving Jake opportunities today and yesterday to meet new people for business.
I am grateful for my husband who works so hard to provide for our family and is such a great coach to our little guy and his baseball team.
I am grateful that Jake and I had a date night last night. We had so much fun! We love to be together, our lives have gotten a bit more chaotic and needed that time together. Sushi was SO good, watched The Tourist too! Mom had the kids, Thanks Mom!
I am grateful that my body is strong, I'm thankful that I could go run for the first time this morning with my son. He's 6 and he wanted to go for a run with me. I was so impressed, he did AMAZING! He ran the mile in our track, he ran the whole thing and even ran up the Escalera hill, which is impressive all by itself. Then we past our house because he wanted to keep going, so we ran for a ways on the paseo too! We ended up running about 2 miles. We met a kitty cat that loved us and rubbed up against both of us and followed us for a little while and then flopped down in the shade.
I am grateful that he loves to spend time with me.
I am grateful that this afternoon my children were outside playing catch and speaking so kindly to each other. "Oh, I'm sorry!" and "Wow! Good throw!"
I am grateful for our home and our cozy couch and that I could snooze for a minute this afternoon while watching a movie, Tron Legacy, with my kids.
I AM GRATEFUL!

An Attitude of Gratitude

I love Conference weekend!!! I love that this morning my daughter turned the tv on to the right channel at 9:00am before we even got to it. Our prophet said today to have an attitude of gratitude and to be grateful for our many blessings and not just look at what we are "lacking". I am so grateful for my husband who works so hard to provide for our family and loves me and our children, I am so grateful for my two beautiful children who make me a better person just being their mom, I am so grateful for our home and all the comforts it provides, I am so grateful for our good health and strength and abilities, I am so grateful for a prophet today and for his council, I am so grateful for my Savior for His example for His atonement for His love!!! I AM GRATEFUL!!
