I have been overwhelmed as I think about the blessings that are all around me. I'm sad to say this was brought to my mind by finding out someone else's loss. I don't know why it can be so hard to remember, but I am thankful for the reminder once again. When I heard of my friend's loss, I immediately thought "I couldn't ever endure that." I guess sometimes we don't have a choice though, do we? So I guess I better just take a minute and count my blessings. Feel free to skip.
1. A Loving Father in Heaven-who has a plan, even when we don't see it.
2. Geoffrey & Hugh-I had no idea life could be so good.
3. Mom & Dad-anyone who knows me knows I adore my parents.
4. Siblings. I have the best. I don't know how it happened, but I got them all. God must have known I would need a lot of help.
5. The Wood Family-all are kind, focused and wonderful. I tell Geoff all the time how lucky we are.
6. Health
7. Food
8. A warm home
During Conference I loved the talk on simplifying. I am going to work on counting my blessings-daily-and simplifying.

You forget one. What about Sunday roast beef and mashed taters?
Cute blog! I've been trying to be more grateful these days too. It's easy to forget how nice we have it!
Good post!! That is such horrible news. I had now idea her mom even had cancer. I am so sad for them. It does make you sit back and look at everything that you have been given!!
P.S. I can't believe how big your little guy is getting
