Being Thankful

I meant to write this post during Thanksgiving day but got busy and distracted. I am writing it now.
This post will be the thing I am grateful for in my life. There are thirty days in November so I will list thirty things that I am grateful for.

Day 1- I am grateful for my sister-in-law,Ivy, for bugging me to write in my blog :)
Day 2- I am grateful for a temple that is so close and that I can attend it every week.
Day 3- I am grateful for the car we have that takes us to the temple and other places we need to go. I like helping other people get to where they need to go.
Day 4- I am so grateful for the people in my life and the influence they present. A quote comes to mind, "Those who know you but don't know Christ will want to know Christ because they know you".
Day 5- I am grateful for the internet and all the help it gives me to get my homework done, to pay the bills, to buy things, to play games, to check up on everyone, and for Netflix.
Day 6- I am grateful for my able mind to learn the things I learn at school.
Day 7- I am grateful for a warm house, food to eat, and clothes to wear.
Day 8- I am grateful for the gospel and the blessing it provides in my life.
Day 9- I am grateful for my family and the packages they send me to remind me that they miss me and love me.
Day 10- I am grateful for the snow and the dark clouds outside!
Day 11- I am grateful for a free health person,Merritt, who checks my blood pressure and pulse. She also tells me sometimes that I have nice veins.
Day 12- I am grateful for music especially the Trans Siberian Orchestra. I don't think I could continue to go further in life without music.
Day 13- I am grateful for my testimony and how strong it has gotten since going to the temple each week. Quentin and I put in an application to work at the temple. We love it so much and feel complete there.
Day 14- I am grateful for my talents and that I can help people with them. Thank you Heavenly Father!
Day 15- I am grateful for my warm, purple, electrical blanket that I got from my grandparents.
Day 16- I am grateful for the time I have each day to thank God for giving me another day to live. Time is important and I am trying to learn how to use my time wisely.
Day 17- I am grateful for my family ward and the ladies I visit teach. These people are amazing and  I have grown to love them.
Day 18- I am grateful for toilet paper and the many uses of it.
Day 19- I am grateful for warm showers and how fantabulous I feel afterwards!
Day 20- I am grateful for movies. I love movies! I like all sorts of movies and am very critical of them. I am too poor to go and watch every movie that comes out though.
Day 21- I am grateful for other people's babies. I get to observe them from afar. I can't wait to have my own but for now, I am grateful for just my husband and I.
Day 22- I am grateful for my knee braces and the support they give me.
Day 23- I am grateful for my cell phone. Actually, I am grateful for my new cell phone and all the wonders it does.
Day 24- I am grateful for who I am. I love my curly hair, my freckles, teeth, smile, hands, my background. I am grateful that I am not too fat and not too skinny. I like the muscles I have.
Day 25-(Thanksgiving day) I am grateful for the people that came over to share Thanksgiving with Quin and me. I am grateful for Merritt who is always hungry to eat the leftovers we had.
Day 26- I am grateful for light and electricity. It helps me to see things and not trip over stuff. Although I trip anyway because my poor judgment of distance or whatever it is called. Its like you see the object and you try to avoid it but run into it anyway.
Day 27- I am grateful for books. I like reading. Right now Quentin is reading, "The Giver" to me and I am enjoying it so much!
Day 28- I am grateful for the atonement and that it comforts me when I am worried, sad, or having a bad day. It is such a gift that we need to apply to our everyday lives. It is a blessing in mine.
Day 29- I am grateful for lint rollers. They get the nasty fuzzies off of my black clothes. It gets hairs off my coats. I don't know who invented the lint roller, but I praise them because I don't know how else to get those fuzzies off.
Day 30- (I saved the best for last) I am grateful for my husband, Quentin, and the love we share. I am grateful that he is so thoughtful, caring, loving, worthy of his priesthood, and sensitive. I love his hair, smile, eye lashes, his eyes are amazing. I am grateful for the promises and covenants we have made to each other. I am grateful that I don't have to worry about him cheating on me because he doesn't have eyes for any other girl. I am grateful for the time he gives me to love him and serve him. I am grateful for all the little deeds of kindness he shows to others. I am grateful that he is good with computers. I am grateful that he is so patient and understanding of me.
I love Quentin so much! I love the life we are sharing with each other. I can't go a minute without thinking about him or being away from him. I enjoy being around him and love listening to his voice, it is so soothing.

Well those are some of the things that I am grateful for. I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
