If there is one thing that I have learned it is to be grateful for what you have. I have been doing a lot of introspection lately and what I've come to realize is that you need to be happy with what you've got. Sometimes I think we get caught up in what we don't have, which doesn't allow us to see what we DO have. At the moment I'm going through a period of time in my life where I could go many different directions. Sometimes I feel lost, yet at the same time I know EXACTLY where I'm going. I know what I want from my life, and yet sometimes I'm scared to actually have the faith to move forward. The last 6 months or so was filled with a bit of frustration with a few things that I felt I was lacking. But lately (and especially after General Conference this weekend) I can see that my life is amazing JUST the way it is.
I have:
2 wonderful jobs
A Loving family
Great friends
A college degree
Talent in the Arts
Solid Testimony
And much much more....
What more could I want? Well besides a husband? ;) But we'll get into that later. I feel incredibly blessed and so grateful for all the wonderful things in my life. There have been times of doubt and discouragement...but how grateful I am for those times because they have truly turned me into the person I am today. So THANKS!! My life pretty much rocks.

ReplyDeleteI love this post. I think it's good when we make lists because we realize HOW many things we really are blessed with.
