Thankfulness...day 5

"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."

Today I am thankful for those men and women who defend our freedom.

Thank you, Veterans!

(To read about a twice veteran in my family....go here.)

Thankfulness...day 4

Squishable, smooshable, kissable, adorable...

I'm thankful for chubby baby cheeks!

Thankfulness...day 3

Do you ever have those days where you just don't care or have no motivation?

Well, today is one of those days for me.

The problem is, I need to care because I have a Relief Society lesson I need to finish up for tomorrow and other things I need to get done.

And I don't want to be like Pierre either (and that's not the whole book...it's just to whet your appetite. You'll have to check it out from the library to find out what happens to him).

Nevertheless, this is what I am grateful for today (and I did miss yesterday).

Frances!

Especially this aspect (not whole book either) of Frances. She is just so darn cute.

Thankfulness...day 2

Today I am thankful for these:

They are helping with my winter pudge. Enough said. Right?

Thankfulness...

It's already the 3rd of November (which means it's almost December which means it's almost 2011. Craziness!) and this month seems to have crept up on me.

Since this is Thanksgiving month after all, I will be doing a month of thanks.

Without further ado....

I am thankful for:

Temples




















"Temple work is not an escape from the world but a reinforcing of our need to better the world while preparing ourselves for another and far better world. Thus, being in the Lord’s house can help us to be different from the world in order to make more difference in the world." Neal A. Maxwell

I am grateful for the availability of a temple so close to where I live. When I go, I feel the peace and love of my Heavenly Father.

Seasons change

Tomorrow is the first day of September and it hit me, that summer, with all its delicious fruit, greenness, flowers, and sun-soaked days, is almost over (in 23 days). With every sunset the change grows closer.

But, the change also brings a feeling of newness. A new season to embrace. A new sense of purpose. A (re)newed feeling of thankfulness.

There are more summer things I wished I blogged about, but it's almost too late now. I'm looking forward to autumn, with her sun dappled days and the falling of leaves and chilly autumn nights.

Summer is closing soon and there is not a single thing I can do about it, except enjoy the change.

What is your favorite part about the change of seasons?
