Gratitude

I woke up this morning to start another week as a jobless family. Feeling a little down about that I threw myself into the day. On my way to the gym I ran into a friend from our old ward. She was dropping off a late Christmas gift. It was a gratitude Journal. Just what I needed. I know I have so many things to be grateful for but sometimes I just forget how great life really is. People always ask how things are going and my usual response is a peppy "just having fun hanging out" I am sure people must think I am being fake or lying but really some of these days have been the best of my life. I have so much to be grateful for. I get to spend so much time being with my amazing husband, serving each other and learning even more about him. We get to play with Brody all day (ok not all day Jeremy spends a good portion of the day in the office looking for a job, but we interrupt him a lot) I love that Brody gets to wake up to Jeremy and I, that they play and have fun together. They bond over their morning breakfast of banana's and oatmeal or their grilled chicken sandwiches they share at lunch some days. Not many kids get to share lunch time with their dads. We've also been able to spend more time with Jeremy's Family we've been down to St. George twice! We've also been able to build stronger relationships with our friends and neighbors. So really if you ask me and I say "just having fun hanging out" I am being honest we are having fun hanging out. Hopefully you all know me well enough to know If I am having a hard time I'd tell you. Having an income would be nice but these are priceless opportunities we are so grateful to be able to have.
