So, when the boy was here, we were walking around at the locks all goo-goo eyed at each other, and I said something about how we were one of those obnoxious couples who makes people want to gag, and the boy said that they were just jealous of us. I responded with "It's probably true, heck, I'm jealous of myself!"
I was thinking about that today, and I realized that I really have a fantastic life! I mean, seriously. I was praying last night, and realized that lately there's been a lot of asking. So I spent a while thanking my Heavenly Father for all the blessings I have. Some of them include, in no particular order...
I live in an amazing time and place. (Today one of the kids at work was playing a computer game and they were 'visiting' different countries, when they went to North America she said "North America is my favorite!" it was so cute, and it's my favorite too!). I have so many opportunities, I was taught well, and have made good choices that allowed me to get an education, to have a testimony, to associate with amazing people. I have a mother who is so good at self improvement and learning that she taught me to be as well. I've also made not good choices, that allow me to know the difference, that help me learn, and I can repent. On Saturday, when we went to the temple, I wondered how long it had been since I had really taken the time to think about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Of all the things I am thankful for, That ranks top of my list. I am thankful for a Savior who had enough love and courage and strength to win the fight for my life. I'm thankful for a family who taught me about Him, and His gospel. I'm thankful for my testimony. What a strength and peace. I'm thankful for church meetings directed at me. For a mother who listens, and for lots of wise friends.
I have such a blessed life. I'm pretty jealous of myself :)
