Count Your Many Blessings...

So I haven't been taking any pictures lately and usually I post when I have cute pictures to share. I got to thinking, it's the month of thanksgiving, so why don't I start counting my blessings? I've realized that I can be alot happier if I focus on the good things in my life rather than the bad. So I am going to remember one thing each day this month that I am especially thankful for. Since it's the 9th, here is my list to catch up:

1. my husband - honestly, I couldn't do this life without ya! I love you!
2. samuel - he is such an intelligent little guy. he is always willing to help with anything he can and I love to play games with him.
3. brooklyn - she is my little barbie, and she is always happy and such a sweet girl.
4. madelyn - I have been having so much fun with her lately, she has to copy everyone and I love her laugh and when she plays "run away from mom!"
5. the gospel - when I am looking at life with the right perspective, the gospel becomes a grounding influence and a peaceful spot to be amongst the whirlwind.
6. the beautiful earth - the weather here in texas has been so wonderful the past few weeks. I sure wish there were some mountains here!
7. cameras - how cool is it that you can capture a moment and look at it whenever you want to? now we just have to figure out how to build a pensieve! (if you don't know what that is, you need to read harry potter ;)
8. a good book - I love to disappear into a world that the author has created. some of my favorites: Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Kristen Lavransdatter...
9. potlucks and barbeques! i love eating good food and talking with friends.

great idea. it is so easy to think about what you don't have. our lives are so full and rich with blessings and important things already.
