Somedays...

you just have nothing to say that is worth posting.
Or you do, but it is so complicated to explain it becomes silly to try.

Today I just need some joy in the journey.... so a gratitude list is in order I think!
I am thankful/grateful for:

• A husband who is my very best friend
• Children who make me laugh & call me Mom
• Completed projects
• An Aunt who loves me no matter what
• A little Sister that has become one my best friends
• My Ma... & my Dad
• Jes' new job
• Jes' side jobs
• A clean house
• Spaghetti & meatballs dinner, made by my sweet Emmalee Anne
• Good friends whom I can trust, who understand me & know who I really am
• A wicked thunderstorm complete with some good stirring of the elements
• My study of the Savior the last 40 days... my lent has been amazing for my soul
• A painting that makes me cry every time I look at it
• Tylenol for a strange pain I have been having - so glad I can pretend it doesn't hurt because of said Tylenol & live my life;)
• My hair color & cut... my friend Michelle did an AMAZING job for me & I don't feel so old & decrepit LOL
• My brother who calls me in an instant to help walk me through merit badge placement for my boys scout shirts... I may be starting to like this program after all (LOL)
• Easter this weekend & being able to see family, watch my kids play & just enjoy it all, and eat me a Milky Way bunny, & some chocolate/caramel covered macadamia nut clusters I gotsed for my birthday 2 weeks ago! *grin*
• My vacuum that works well & makes everything look/be clean again
• My sewing basket that was my grandma's... so I can sew on patches for my boys :)
• My little brother Tyler... he had a birthday this week & I can't help but think about how much I love that boy man! How much I appreciate his love & support & just his smile when we see him! (& I love how he loves my kids! They adore him!)
• My sister in laws... I am blessed with such good family! In-laws seems like such a funny word when they feel more like actual sisters! Excited to add one more! Love you Melissa!
• My early morning temple trips with my friend Nicole... we really ARE crazy I know! But its always so fulfilling to me...especially since we are working on her family names! SO COOL!
• My wreath on the front door... I am SO not crafty... but I really like how it turned out! THANK YOU NICOLE!
• For my scriptures & how the more I read them... the more I understand & the more I want to.
• For prayers at night with my kids... they keep things in perspective :)

I feel a little better already!
Gratitude really does work wonders! :)
