My Favorite Things

Since I lately feel that I live in the lone and dreary world, I thought it a good idea for myself to reflect, take stock, acknowledge some of my many blessings and a few things that make me smile.....

*Laying in bed at night with the window open, hearing the rain and having the rain air blow through my room

*My hospital mug from being in the hospital having Jackson. Most expensive mug ever, but it makes me happy to have it around

*My little Jackson when he sees me and his little face lights up

*Sitting in Sacrament meeting and during the sacrament Josh leaning placing his hand out in front of his face and asking, "Mom, which finger is the bad finger?"

*Listening to my boys say their prayers and James asking to, "bless Mom with more patience."

*James and Josh taking care of Jackson (at times it is alittle scary, but I appreciate their willingness to help)

*James and Brad getting all excited about a show on TV about the universe. (I lay in bed next to them thinking...NERDS, but I love them)

*I found a vending machine that has Diet Coke so cold it has little diet coke ice crystals in it.

*Hanging out at the pool with my sisters

*Having families that rally around me and my family

*The Gospel

*A "grin and bare it" mentality, for when life gets alittle overwhelming

*Having my 9 year old next door neighbor tell me I am a "good cooker"....Who would have thought?

*Being surrounded by amazing people

*When I see James and Josh happily playing with one another

*Seeing those quiet acts of service that help others

*A lunch at Pei Wei

*Being around others that make me laugh

I truly am blessed!!!
