This morning I just want to put my voice out into the void to express my thanks for all the beautiful gifts in my life:
A sweet and wonderful husband and son who love me!
A large extended family and in-laws all of whom are also my dear friends.
Many, many great friends who generously share their lives with me as we learn and grow together.
My faith in my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ which blesses my life immeasurably.
My education and healthy mind that can absorb whatever I wish to learn!
My wonderful body that allows me to experience through my senses: the color of flowers, Nathanael's first coo's, the warmth of a hug, buttered popcorn, and salty sea air.
This beautiful planet and all it's wonders: trees, grass, mountains, the ocean, and tiny "weed" flowers growing between cement sidewalk squares.
Well, this was ironically meant to be a short "easy" post. I feel so torn: I don't want to end the list because there truly isn't an end to my gratitude. The more items I list, the more that flood my mind and my expression of them feels so incomplete. However, it is still my gratitude list for today and those who read it can do so knowing that it could easily continue on for pages.
What a wonderful life!

Great post! Life is too short not to be grateful for all of the beauties and wonders within it. And since we often tend to get so caught up in the day-to-day that we don't stop to smell the roses, it's nice (even necessary!) to have reminders like these every so often. Thanks! :)
I was so happy to see the tiny text, "1 comment" when I logged in today. Thanks for reading!
I think I may do my own "gratitude" post. Thanks for the idea; I enjoyed reading the things you're grateful for because it helped me to remember the things I am grateful for.
