grateful

This is late, but even if Thanksgiving has come and gone, it's never the wrong time to be thankful. List format; no particular order (except the order they decide to come in my thoughts):

1- A very loving, merciful, generous, and attentive Father in Heaven
2- The best helpmeet I could ever have dreamed of, who also happens to be my best friend and soulmate.

3- My darling, hilarious, wonderful J.

4- My family members by blood and by law. Every single one.
5- Those that I have called (and most that I still call) friend.
6- My membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and how it has changed the way I live my life.
7- To be pregnant (no matter what the outcome is), to even have the chance of adding another member to our family is enough. (Yes friends, I am pregnant, 17 weeks at this point. I had planned to announce it on this blog in an oh so clever way but I'm too worn out).
8- The many experiences I have had, am having, and will have in the future that make me a better, more empathetic, and understanding person. The experiences that help me figure out who I really am, what makes me me, and what my purpose on this earth is.
9- This beautiful, ever-changing, painful, inspiring world. It is in sum a beautiful world. I am grateful to be here.
10- Hope, through the one and only savior, Jesus Christ.

The list could go on but for the sake of your time and mine, we'll end it there today.
