Better Days

So, I've decided that to pull myself out of whatever funk I've been in - by the way, thanks so much to those of you who commented on that because it was honestly exactly what I needed to hear! - I'm going to make a list of 50things that I'm truly thankful for, silly or not. :)
1. Flowers
2. Sunshine
3. Chocolate
4. Great friends!
5. Supportive & understanding family
6. Good health
7. People and things that make me laugh - hard!
8. A calling that keeps me busy and humbles me
9. Active mind (very active!)
10. Strong legs and feet that carry me where I need to go
11. Sunscreen
12. Doors
13. Soft carpet
14. Acute senses
15. Green parks
16. Temples
17. Shopping malls
18. Easy transportation
19. Faith
20. Nephews who make me smile no matter what :)
21. Music
22. Books
23. Talents
24. Brothers who are all good examples of righteousness
25. Cartwheels
26. Pasta and bread!
27. Therapeutic runs (outside or at the gym, it doesn't matter)
28. Prayers
29. 10-key calculators
30. Movies
31. Earrings and heels that make me feel pretty
32. Comfy bed
33. Barefeet in cool grass
34. Scriptures
35. Gelato
36. All of the places I've been able to go
37. My job(s)
38. Opposable thumbs for texting, etc
39. Hair products
40. Make up
41. Ice cream
42. Cell phones
43. Social web networks that keep me in touch w/ everyone
44. Compassion and service
45. Emotions and the ability to feel
46. Knowledge of a perfect gospel & all it entails - atonement, plan of salvation, covenants, divine heritage, etc.
47. Priesthood
48. Water
49. Listening ears
50. Trials that remind me who is really in charge
51. Gum

Not bad - I could keep going. Once you get going you start realizing you can be thankful for pretty much everything. Almost as therapeutic as running! Ok, I swear the rest of my posts will be fun and I should be done with all of this change and therapy. Honestly, I keep thinking that part of it has to do with the fact that I just turned 27 and I feel like I need to actually be an adult now, so I'm morphing from the inside out and I'm having "growing pains." See - it'll all work out and be just fine! Speaking of birthdays...I promise my next post will be all of my fun pictures from my amazing trip to San Fransisco!

the good thing about blogs is that they don't always have to be fun and exciting, so no worries about that :) i love that you're thankful for pasta and bread - i could live on that for the rest of my life! haha
