Gratitude Day 19

1- Beautiful Utah Sunsets. If you haven't taken a step outside recently, you have been missing the wonders of God's creation. As the sun sets, the skies fill with a rainbow of pinks and oranges mixed with blues. The light then shines brightly on the snow-capped mountains creating a magnificent sight. Amazingly beautiful!

2- My car. My Honda Accord is almost eleven years old and she still treats me well. I haven't had any major catastrophes with her. She has driven from Phoenix to Utah and back. Also on the list are Las Vegas, Southern California, Northern California, commuting for five years, and all sorts of back road adventures. Today I calculated and discovered I was getting 33-34 miles per gallon! Wahoo! I really do have a great car.

3- The Unexpected. The subtitle on my blog reads "The unexpected changes our lives." I am amazed at how my best laid plans fall apart. Seriously?! I can be so careful and meticulous and life intervenes to create a wonderful chaotic uncertainty. That happened tonight. Without going into details, I'll just say that my plan was perfect but fate intervened. At least I am sitting here smiling and laughing because only something like that would happen to me. Oh Unexpected. How grateful I am that you are part of my life. You keep me laughing and keep stretching me to help me become better than I currently am now.

AOG - Day 14

1- I am grateful for the beauty snow creates. Just add Christmas lights and its a bit of heaven on earth.

2- I am grateful for lazy days. It is nice to just have a day to relax and read a book.

3- I am grateful for pedicures and how nice and relaxing it makes me. Plus my feet look pretty now.

Gratitude - Day 26

1. I am grateful for Thanksgiving. Every year all of my mom's family gathers together, and we spend the day eating, playing games, and enjoying one another's company. A crowd of 30 is average but we usually range around 40-50 people! I love spending time with my aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings.

2. I am grateful for the majesty of the mountains.

3. I am grateful I didn't even think about homework on Thanksgiving.
