Be Grateful

I just found out that another one of my high school friends is getting divorced. I had two reactions. First, it just breaks my heart to hear that she's going through -- and has been through -- such pain. Second, it makes me feel super grateful for my sweet husband. James is unfailingly kind and patient with me. He takes me to the temple. He loves me. Who could ask for more?

We are very, very blessed to have Dean. I love him so much!

We are fortunate that James has a good job. I feel rich. (I've noticed something about feeling rich vs. feeling greedy. I tend to feel greedy when I only spend time with people as or more affluent than us. On the flip side, if I spend some time visiting the poor, needy people around, I feel nothing but rich. There's plenty of people richer and poorer than us, so I'll just consider myself rich.)

I am so glad that we are healthy.
I am glad that our families are awesome and supportive.
I am grateful for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I am grateful that Heavenly Father answers my prayers.

This list could go on and on... Anyway, I am grateful.
