so today's post is really quite simple, i have found myself being quite negative or ungrateful lately, so i am simply going to post about things i am so very thankful for. the truth is, God has blessed me in so many ways and i need to focus on those, not on things that people may say that hurt my feelings, things i don't have, or what he hasn't blessed me with... what kind of life is that. so, onto the point of this post. i am so THANKFUL, GRATEFUL, and BLESSED for...
* prayerful friends
* a walk with a friend last night
* quick fit at the gym last night
* country concerts this summer
* good night's sleep on sunday (9 hours)
* five hours at the pool on saturday and catching up with friends (em, jess, and jillian)
* my haiti trip is in two weeks, woohoo
* my church
* my small group girls
* exercise in general, such a stress reliever
* my refrigerator is working after 32 days, woohoo
* my family
* grace
it really helps change your focus and perspective if you just start the day reminding yourself of all the things that you are thankful for.

This is so good. I've been so guilty of focusing on the bad and inconveniences lately - and I need to give thanks in all circumstances. Thanks for inspiring me! :)
Jennifer, it is constantly a work in progress, but glad it was a reminder to both of us:)
AMEN, sure do need a reminder of what all we have to be thankful for! I just finished reading Kisses from Katie, WOW...really puts it all in perspective...we just do not realize how blessed we really are!
