thank-full

i am overwhelmed sometimes by how much i have. little things, big things, things you can't see and things that sparkle. i have trials too. and i count these among the good things that i have, because they open my eyes and my heart and they give perspective to my life. perspective is something i can always use.

i am full to the brim with thanks for my husband, our families, the fact that they live for the most part close to us, for my little home, my testimony, temples and our temple marriage. i am thankful for my pup, my friends, warm cozy clothes, health, yummy food, freedom, colors, light, music, harry potter, my education and the opportunities i have and have had, photographs and books, the goodness in people.

i can go on and on and sometimes in my prayers before bed i do. seth is always asking if i'm done yet or if maybe i fell asleep mid-prayer, since it has been more than ten minutes. i'm just so happy and feel so blessed and i want to express that.

we had a lovely thanksgiving and i will post pictures as soon as i get all my homework finished! look at that responsibility.
