Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 380

I needed this reminder today. There are days that you wonder why you bothered to get out of bed. Today was that day. Worry, stress, and sadness over what I can’t change overwhelm me at times. I have found my self with a tear or two more than once in the past couple of days. There is so much in this world I can’t change and I have to admit, I struggle to find things to be thankful for…

I am thankful for the moments I had to study the scriptures today. It took me an hour and I only got through 8 verses, but I learned a great deal.

I am grateful that Lilli was patient-ish with me as I tried to tell her the dance moves I wanted in a certain song. I know I am not a dancer, but I have a certain idea in my head that I would love to see. I did learn today that I should probably give up trying to make the dances in my head happen when I am not a dancer and have no business telling dancers what to do. LOL.

I am grateful that I had a hair tie to share when Hannah asked for one… and also glad when Lilli helped me to find a new one when I got home.

I am grateful that Chad seems to be travelling home safely. I am a little sad that every time he called me today, I was busy.

I am grateful that I can go to bed soon. I sure hope I can sleep.
