My Grateful List

For the month of November I took it upon myself to think of ONE thing I was grateful for every day.  I had realized that it would have changed my attitude towards almost every day things.

Below is most of my list (in no particular order)


Today I'm grateful for extra hours of sleep and a husband who takes care if the kids.
Today I'm grateful for a Thanksgiving Day spent with people I love
Today I'm grateful for disposable diapers and wipes of any kind (baby wipes, Clorox wipes...). Life is easier with them :)
Today I am grateful for laughter. I love to hear my kids laughing. I love to laugh with family and friends. Laughter makes me happy :)
Today I am grateful for friends. Honest and caring friends! I have been blessed with many and it warms my heart to have them in my life! XOXO
Today I'm grateful for my alarm clock, his name is Mylo. He never fails to give me my first wake up call at 6am! I love that boy!!!!!
today I am grateful for the sealing power. Grateful for a family that can be together forever!!!! My heart is FULL!!!
Today I am grateful for good, dedicated and loving teachers. They sacrifice for my kids and love them and want them to succeed. I love my kids past and present teachers!!!
Today I'm grateful for self motivation and a desire to better myself.
Today I'm grateful for unexpected change that brings progress, because progress is exactly what we want :)
Today I'm grateful for a washer and dryer. I'm grateful i don't have to do all my washing by hand!
Today I'm grateful for an able body.
Today I am grateful for Relief Society. What a wonderful organization it is!!!
Today I am grateful for great deals on fresh yummy produce. :)
Today I am grateful for a supportive husband who helps be the person that i am and pushes me to be better. A husband that is hard working and loving and helps me to live my dreams.
Today I am grateful for lotion. The dry, cold weather kills my hands and lotion is my hand saver :)
Today I'm grateful for happy, healthy kids!
Today I'm grateful for my smartphone. It's just so smart! ;)
Today I'm grateful for my mom. She ALWAYS helps me and loves me unconditionally. Not sure what I would do without her!!!
Today I'm grateful for Dave getting home early from his trip (and the extra hour of sleep).
Today I am grateful for snow covered trees. Beautiful sign of winter fun!
Today I'm grateful for free aerobics classes. Now I won't feel bad if I eat some candy :)
Today I am grateful for Otis' soft hands on my cheeks as I cuddled him after a fall. Oh how very blessed I am to have those tiny hands around my (fat) cheeks!!!
Grateful for a (future) neighbor's phone call :) I can't wait to REALLY be your neighbor!!!!!
 After not doing this every day, I have missed it!  I have noticed my attitude is not one of constant gratitude.  So, i am now just writing one down on paper.  There is SO much I have to be grateful for.  The list is endless!
