Journals

1. I'm grateful for my journals. I have many that I write in every night--one for good things we do daily, one for how I felt the spirit that day, and a normal journal. I really like writing a lot, and I like writing them down separately. I like knowing that I need to look for good things that I do, that my children do, and I love pondering for a minute or two, when I felt the spirit. That journal has helped me the most to identify the language the Spirit uses--and I remember all the times God talks to me.

2. I am grateful for the Bug Hero. He is helping me a lot to get ready for a short trip for Thanksgiving. I am really grateful for his willingness and for his friendship.

3. I am grateful for extended family. It's nice to meet with cousins and aunts and uncles for this trip. I can't wait to see family! Also, I am grateful for cards that come in the mail. My Mom is totally Awesome!

4. I am grateful for friends. One of my friends came over today to help me make a stunning pie crust. I am really grateful for her knowledge and her willingness to help me make a flaky pie crust--and teach me the reasons why you do things.

5. I am grateful for General Conference. I love reading a talk once a day and applying the principles in my life.
