“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” –Melody Beattie
Cry cry cry, that is all I do these days (hormonal), but I am so grateful for these moments. Everyone can use a good cry. I got this quote off of Natalie's blog and had a great reminder of my blessed life. I have the greatness of the gospel, and my continuing knowledge of it. I have an eternal family and the means to do work for my grandparents when the time comes. I have a fabulous husband who works hard and has a positive attitude when I don't. I have loving, adorable children who teach me everyday and even say I look pretty when I know I am due in 3 weeks and am not the most attractive. I am privileged to be pregnant and carry a new sweet spirit and be so in tune with the miracle of new life. I have a beautiful home that has the feeling of "home" and I love to be here. I have great friends who care about me and make me feel loved. I am so grateful to live and learn new things. I can so easily take life for granted and not live for today, but I am honored for today.
I am blessed indeed and am thankful for the reminder and hope I can continue the gratitude everyday.
