I'm grateful to be a part of my children's education. I love taking part of something so important. It's their future. I take it super serious (okay as serious as I get....but really, I take it serious!). And I love being a part of what is making them better people.

I'm grateful for gut feelings (AKA the spirit). I've had that nagging feeling for such a long time....and I finally received confirmation that I was right. I'm grateful I listened. I'm really, really grateful that I live worthily of such promptings.

Day 53
February 23, 2014
I'm grateful for people who listen and don't judge. We are all guilty of judging sometimes. We like to think we don't, but we do....even though we try really, really hard not to. And I'm so grateful for those moments of conversation when we can open up, be honest and not be judged....just be loved. Unfortunately, those moments are just much too far apart.

I'm grateful for answers. Even when they aren't answers we want or necessarily even answers we like. They are opportunities for growth and understanding.

I'm grateful for miracles. So many people don't believe that miracles occur anymore. They do! And when you witness them, it is impossible to deny that God is aware of us, aware of our trial and triumphs. That He he hears and answers our prayers. I'm so grateful to see and hear miracles.

February 11, 2014
I'm grateful for prayer. And I've probably said this before. But I just can't be too grateful for this. I'm grateful I can pour my heart out, whether in gratitude, sorrow, joy, longing, hope....it doesn't matter. I'm just grateful I have that time with my Heavenly Father to tell him about my day and the things I'm worried about, the things I'm happy about and the hopes I have and the help I need.

I'm grateful I have the ability to stand up for myself. I hate that I have to fight with people that are really nice, and are really trying to help....but really, I'm grateful that I am strong enough to stand up for myself, for my family and for what's necessary.

I'm grateful for late night chats with my daughter that end with an opportunity to bear my testimony. The blessings that come from obedience are sure. Especially walking through these tumultuous times, how awesome to have the surety of the Gospel with the Savior at the helm to cling to! What a pretty awesome way to end the night!

February 6, 2014
I'm grateful for the knowledge of others. I'm navigating uncharted territory right now....and it's a little bit scary. And I am overwhelmingly grateful for the many people who tolerate my never ending questions as I try to navigate this very uncertain path. I love being a know it all....and it's extremely difficult having to accept being an I know nothing at all. But it is yet another in a long, long line if tender mercies that so many with expansive knowledge have been placed in my path!

February 5, 2014
I'm grateful for moms who listen when you call them from the car crying....and they just let you cry. Even when it's one of those ugly cry's. And after you get out all of that emotional vomit...especially the part about not being enough, she reminds you that you have always been enough and you can get through this too.

I'm grateful for different ways to communicate. With as much as Felix has to travel, I definitely have an appreciation for email, text, skype, facetime.....you name it, we use it! What a blessing it is to live in a time where there are so many ways that allow us to stay in touch with those we love!

I'm grateful for good commercials. Usually there are tons of funny commercials at the Super Bowl...not this year. But there were some spectacular ones from Budweiser (of all companies!). I loved that they are planning on honoring the military for the next year! YAY! I can't wait!

I'm grateful for hospital days. Since we go to the hospital at least once a month....I figured I needed to throw this in there. Today was a treatment day for Baylee. Without treatment she wouldn't be walking or seeing. So as much fun as the hospital is not, I'm so grateful for the blessing it is in our lives.....the payoff is HUGE!

I'm grateful for the awesome quotes I find on Facebook. Some are political, some are spiritual, some are dorky. But I'm grateful mostly for the uplifting ones that help keep me out of the downy dumps and keep me going in the right direction.

I'm grateful for catch up days. Stay at home mom is a misnomer. Everybody that is one....totally knows this is true. And the days I get at home, I should really be spending them cleaning and doing stuff around the house....yeah, I usually spend them catching up on sleep....but hey, why else would I be so grateful for catch up days!
