Count your blessings...

I feel like a lot of the time, I find myself complaining about my job and things when I need to start counting my blessings. There are so many things to be grateful for but they get overlooked by the smallest of worries or expectations.

This is what I am grateful for today:
1. My sweet husband.
We get in arguments, yes, but I am so grateful for the moments where we can be so quick to forgive and remember how much we love each other.

2. My health.
I am so grateful to be at a point in my life where my Crohns has been manageable. I am grateful for the knowledge I have gained through all the trial and error that has brought me to where I am today.

3. My Family.
I am so grateful for the relationships that I have with each member of my family. I feel that they have all grown to a different level this last year and it is really nice to be close to them, no matter how far away they are.

4. My home.
I am grateful for my little home. It may be small but it is cozy nonetheless.

5. My Church.
I am so grateful for this new ward that we moved into. I have never felt so welcomed and they have truly taught me the meaning of service.

6. My job.
Although I don't really enjoy my job, I am grateful for the fact that I have always been provided a job. I am also grateful for the experiences of this new job. It has been challenging but it has taught me a little more about myself and how to deal with uncomfortable situations.

From this day forward, I am going to start writing 6 things every night that I am grateful for that either occurred that day or that I noticed that day. I think this will bring much more peace into my life and help me to remember what is important.

Life is short. Count your blessings, not your troubles.

Happy Blogging!
