This morning when I woke up I knew it was going to be a hard day. Sometimes I have these days where I wake up and all I want to do is lay in bed and close my eyes all day long. I don't even care if I sleep, I just don't really want to be awake either. Lucky for me I'm a mom and a homemaker, so that's really not an option. As I was doing the morning dishes I decided I want to get out of this funk, so I googled "What to do on days I feel blue". The first suggestion that came up was a gratitude letter/list, so here goes.
Lindsey's Gratitude List
I am grateful we have a roof over our heads, and a place we know we're going to in 3 weeks.
I'm grateful for a baby girl who is always so happy, even when Mommy and Daddy have rough days.
I am blessed to have food in our cupboards and the ability to feed my family.
I am so thankful for a ward who cares for us and helps us with whatever we need, whenever we need it.
The nice things we got for our wedding, even though we have to sell a lot of them
The internet, for connecting me to my loved ones and helping me with pretty much everything
Applesauce, just for being the glorious food it is
My health and quick recovery from giving birth.
A car that gets us where we need to go; it's not the best car, but it runs and gets good gas mileage
The ability to pay tithing and see the blessings that follow
Robert and Sheila. As we sell all our stuff, I can't believe how much of it we got from them.
Footie pajamas. Jasmine looks so dang cute in them it's ridiculous
The Scriptures, for giving me guidance and strength when I don't know what to do
Parents who love and guide
Grandparents who set firm foundations for their children and grandchildren and made paths to follow
The rain we got yesterday. I hadn't had an adventure in a long time
McDonalds for saving me when I really don't want to cook.
My $100 gift card to the seasider for being my lunch money for the past 2 weeks
The Flakes. I have no idea where we would be without them taking Jasmine and saving my sanity every once and a while
Temple covenants and blessings. I feel their guidance and power in my life every day
I have a lot to be thankful for :) My day is starting to look up. I hope I can remember how much I am truly blessed.
