Be happy with what you've got

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.
