What are YOU Thankful for?

In the event of it being thanksgiving week (and before things get super busy with family and friends!), I wanted to put into writing, a list of things I am REALLY thankful for.  I love that everyones list's of gratitude are different.  I enjoy listening to or reading about what others are thankful for.  I am grateful for my own personal list...I am grateful for my girls unique lists of gratifude...and I love listening to my husband talk about what he is most thankful for.  It's enlightening, we should all take more time to express our gratitued and listen to the gratitude of others.  Appreciation goes hand in hand with gratitude.  I appreciate the gifts and blessings life gives us, our family and friends give us and our Savior and Father in Heaven have given us.
This list contains personal, sort of custom, items of gratitude unique to me.  Of course the obvious list toppers are my family, my marriage and my testimony, so just know that my deepest gratitude lies there, with those things.  But, this list is mine and it goes beyond the serious or obvious, right to the random things that make me so happy :]

So, there it is.  I'm sure there's a bunch more that I'll think about later in the day and I will reget not adding it to this list ;]  BUT, there's always room for more inside my heart, mind and imagination.  Actively enjoying what we are grateful for opens the door for so much more gratitude (does that make sense?).  I hope I will always pay attention to the things that give me much gratitude.  I don't want to meet my Maker saying, "I'm not sure what I loved the most?  I didn't notice, I was too busy with everything else."  I DO want to be able to say, "OH WOW!  Thank You for....." and give a detailed list of all the wonderful things I recognized as blessings in my life.

  

HAPPY THANKSGIVING...may your heart be full!
