NieNie: On Being Grateful

I could come up with at least a thousand reasons 
why I am grateful right this second:
And today I decided to write a few of them down:
(They are not in any particular order either).
























*I am grateful to say I married the most amazing 
handsome man on the planet, Christian.
* I am grateful to be an American!
*I am grateful that Christian can cut my hair, so I don't have to
go to a salon.
And since I don’t have any money anyway, it works out really great.
Additionally, I can always find alternative ways to compensate him.

*I am grateful to say that after high school, I fell in love and got married.
*I am grateful that I was born in such a large family and named after my father.
*I am grateful that I come from Utah.
*I am grateful that I am a member of 
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
* I am grateful for my rich pioneer heritage.
*I am grateful to say that once I was a ski instructor at Sundance Resort in Utah
and all the experiences I had.
*I am grateful for a healthy body, and I had three children
 before turning the ripe old age of 23. 
*I am grateful that Christian adores me.
*I am grateful that I had a choice to put off school to start a family.
*I am grateful that my little family thrives on a vegetarian diet.
*I am grateful for the colorful walls in my house that make me happy.
*I am grateful for the example of my five brothers
 and two sisters who have served
 missions for The Church (Lucy is currently serving in England).
*I am grateful to my in-laws for having eleven children
 who are all excellent people.
*I am grateful for holidays that make life fun, especially Halloween.
*I am grateful that I have perfected my whole wheat pizza, 
which I make every Saturday night for my family.

I am grateful for my children, for my little house in New Jersey,
and this computer, where I can write down
all the things that I am grateful for.
