Gratitude

I have to keep reminding myself that it feels much better to think of things for which I'm grateful, than it feels to dwell on the challenges of life. I love the idea of a Gratitude Journal where you write down five things every day you're grateful for... but that is a daunting task so I'll try to think of things here and there to write about.

The greatest blessing in my life is my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. To have known since I was tiny that I am a Child of God and that I have a loving Heavenly Father is probably something I take for granted. This life is such a journey - a roller coaster, actually. Full of ups and downs, some more wonderful or horrible than we're prepared for -- in our own minds anyway.

Sometimes it's hard to remember that the Lord gives us nothing which we are not able to handle.
