My List

My girls stumbled across a list I made a few months ago while sitting behind the piano in Primary. Since they don't read very well yet, they asked me what it was. It was interesting to see their responses to what I read to them. They immediately started to name off things they were grateful for (after I explained what grateful meant). Kids are so positive and optimistic. I love their attitudes. We can learn a lot from them.

Things I'm Grateful For (in no specific order)

• My mom
  
• My sister
  
• That my husband is nice to me
  
• That my girls seem to love me a lot even though I'm not the best mother

• My job
  
• My home
  
• My whole family and my husband's whole family
  
• Good friends and co-workers
