Yesterday was a long day, complicated by not feeling well. I got up late. I went to a set build. I was only able to accomplish a fraction of the work I needed to. I took Lilli to a meeting and waited for her. I went to the store and bought some things, but mostly… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 137 and Day 138

Wow! I spent the last two days in bed. I experienced nausea, stomach pain, and dizziness. I am a little weak this morning, but I have a big event at school so I am going to go and do my best to make it through the day. Today I am most grateful for my Lilli… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 135 and Day 136

I was so tired yesterday I forgot to say what I was grateful for... oops. Oddly, I did think about it during end of the day prayers. I thought about how thankful I was to have a job I like. I thought about how grateful I was that Lilli cheerfully joins us for family scripture… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 133 and Day 134

Usually, Conference Weekend is my favorite weekend of the year. This Conference Weekend I didn't get to listen much to conference. I was at the State Thespian Conference on Saturday. I had brought my headphone to listen to the sessions in the lobby... but they weren't charged and then the internet went down. On Sunday… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 132

I missed seeing the joy of their discoveries and their learning because I was too focused… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 130

Amen! Today I went to day 1 of the State Thespian Conference in Salem, Oregon. I spent most of the day judging stage management. There are some super smart and composed kids out there ready to take on the theatre world. I am so grateful I get to be a part of their journey. I… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 129

I love this quote. First, what's not to love from Winnie the Pooh and Piglet? Second, I too feel like I have a very small heart, yet I am beginning to notice the gratitude filling it. Today I am grateful for my husband, who although today is his birthday, he is in the other room… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 128

I am grateful that it looks… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 127

Okay... so here is a little story. So, I have been studying along with the Come Follow Me program fairly well. Today I was reading and pondering Matt. 16:13-18. These verses made me think of a talk by President Russell M. Nelson, Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Yourself... or something like that. I found… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 126
