here's to a better week

Ok…..I just wrote this really LONG post of VENTING…. complaining how STRESSFUL, OVERWHELMING, EMOTIONAL, PULL MY HAIR OUT, HORRIBLE, BAD, CRAZY week I have had……but I DELETED it! I figured my complaining was not going to get me anywhere nor solve the problem besides I would probably regret freakin out in a blog post. So I decided to take a little breather and post a few things I am grateful for…………………………………………………………………………………………

I am grateful for my Savior JESUS Christ and for his atoning sacrifice. For a HEAVENLY FATHER who loves me and is mindful of me and my family. I am truly blessed to have a knowledge and understanding of the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That I have a PROPHET that receives revelation and guides me. For the power, peace, comfort and guidance of PRAYER. I have a loving, dedicated, sweet, tender, intelligent, caring, hard working HUSBAND that I don’t tell nearly enough that I love and appreciate him. I am grateful for his PRIESTHOOD power.I am blessed with two beautiful little GIRLS that I love more then anything. I have a loving family who supports, loves and cares for me. I know I can always count on them and they will love me to the end. They are my FAMILY and best friends. I have the most incredible, giving and loving in-laws. I am blessed to have IN-LAWS that I love like my own family. IRONWOOD WARD! I am lucky to have so many wonderful friends in my ward. I have amazing NEIGHBORS that I love. I have family close by. We have good HEALTH. My husband has a JOB. We have HEALTH INSURANCE. I am blessed to be able to have a HOME. We have an INCOME. Great DOCTORS that work with Paislee. The opportunity Josh and I have to be able to attend SCHOOL. Our ward CALLINGS. I am blessed with RIGHTS and FREEDOMS. I am grateful that my family has FOOD and that my children go to bed full. I am very grateful that I am a STAY AT HOME mom. I am grateful to have two VEHICLES. I am grateful my husband does not have to work Sundays so we can attend church as a family. Grateful for my LIBRARY card. I am grateful for TEMPLES and SCRIPTURES. Grateful that I have material necessities such as shoes, clothing, beds and all the other thousands of things we have. Grateful I am able to go to the DENTIST. Lucky to have CONTACTS and GLASSES to help me see. Grateful to have modern day conveniences such a CELL PHONE and the INTERNET.


I know this list is unorganized, sloppy, has spelling/grammar errors and may not even make sense at all but it served it purpose. I feel much better now. I have a sense of peace and warmth knowing that I am loved and well taken care of. It is hard to complain or throw myself a pity party when I think of all these blessing. Times are tough but with family and faith I will get through it:)
