I have been wanting to start a gratitude blog for a little while now and today at church I heard a quote about gratitude being the gate to all other virtues.That was the push I needed to finally go ahead and hop to it. So the goal is that daily I will find small and simple things that I am grateful for.

Today I am grateful for...

1. The family that I have here in St. George. It is suchh a blessing and a joy to live so close to all of them, especially my sister and niece. We have grown so much closer and I love it. I spent the day at church with my Aunt Mary Ann and had dinner with them; she is so kind to me and makes me feel so at home.
2. April being so understanding of me at this time in my life. If I ever just need a hug, she willingly gives me one without question. And she is teaching me that it is an ok thing to cry as much as you need to.
3. I'm thankful for meeting and rooming with Michelle this year. Heavenly Father was really looking out for me, without my realizing it at first. She's been gone all week on a cruise and it's so nice to have her back! I'm glad that not only do we get along, but we really like each other and are close.
4. I'm thankful for peanut butter hot chocolate, it is such a comforting and relaxing drink. Mmmmm.
5. I'm thankful for 1 Corinthians 13- I have so much to work on to develop charity but every time I read that chapter, it is a sweet reminder and motivation to be better.
