Good Friday

Ok, I was watching Teen Mom on MTV while I ate my lunch and every time I watch that show I fall in love with my life again.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with everything those ladies do.

That would be rough.

I have had some eye opening experiences the past couple days.

I'm not quite to the point yet where I can write about them on here.

It's just provoked my mind to look at the positive things in my life.

So, today I am going to list the things I am grateful for.

I am grateful for sunshine. It was supposed to be cloudy today but the sun couldn't be shining any brighter. Heavenly Father knew I needed some sunshine and I believe He watches out for us individually like that.

I am grateful for GOOD MUSIC. Jack Johnson station on Pandora was killing it this morning. 

I am grateful for my family. They seriously are everything to me. 

I am grateful for the friends I do have.

I am grateful for the example He set for facing hard trials of not our own will be done but the Father's will.

I am grateful for the ability to run.
I am grateful for people who make me laugh.

I am grateful for the Norman Public Library. I get a lot of work done at that place.

I am grateful for mascara.

I am grateful for smiles from strangers.

I am grateful for the man in his car who stopped to allow me to cross the street while I was running this morning.

I am grateful for the relief of the shade.

I am grateful for books.

I am grateful for the quiet, still moments.

I am grateful that my ward has sister missionaries so I can go out and teach with them.

I am grateful for good food.

I am grateful that Heavenly Father is in charge and not me.

I am grateful for the ability to see the good things I have in my life.

Today, try to count your many blessings and see the good things in your life.

If you look for good you will find good.
