Today I was having one of those mornings where I found myself lecturing my two youngest children on gratitude, and God hit me upside my thick skull with the flashing neon thought, listen to your own words. Has that ever happened to you guys? Happens to me alot. Anyway, on with my thought before it escapes through the holes of my ear piercings.
Gratitude, being thankful for what I have, knowing how blessed my life is can be difficult for me to remember during the rocky periods and during the excellent periods in my life. Lately on a few awesome blogs like Critical Mass, Zoot, and Paper Napkin I kept reading about gratitude, almost daily they make a list on their blog about 5 things that they are thankful for. So today I will begin this, my prayer is that as I do this daily my amazing blessings will stay in my thick skull so I don't win the Mopey Mom of the Year Award. It also gives me yet another reason to do another blog post, how awesome is that.
1. I have 4 healthy children.
2. I work for an amazing company.
3. I have been blessed with many people who love me and pray for me.
4. Lunch with one of the world's best friends, we don't do it enough.
5. This photo I got to take (read mom made us do it) of my 4 blessings!!
So there you have it, my 1/365.

4 great blessings, indeed! I like the thought about Grace...it sometimes overlooked much too much.
And many times, grace comes in small packages.
Thank you Mel! I need to do this too... and I love the "mom made me do it" photo... your kids are so cute!
I loved seeing your beautiful children. What gorgeous hair your daughter has!
