My dear friend Charlotte posted a list of what she was grateful for and I think I will do the same. Here are some things that I am grateful for (in no particular order or level of seriousness):
-my fantastic family and all the support they give me
-watching a man sing the theme song from Gummi Bears
-hanging out with my sister and brother-in-law
-sleeping in
-literacy
-a free country
-pie (lots and lots of pie)
-a non-blizzard (although I wish there were snow on the ground)
-the possibility of snow
-BYU
-my sweatpants
-a steady and decent job
-professors who care about my future
-antibiotics
-a college education
-my friends in Portugal
-cooperative hair
-a rock to wind a piece of string around
-the possibility of snowboarding soon
-NPR: Wait, Wait; This American Life; Radiolab; and the occasional the Morning Edition
-the funny things people say
And most importantly:
-the gospel and all that I believe
-my Savior, Jesus Christ
-being part of an eternal family
I hope that all of you have a very happy Thanksgiving and the time to reflect on the tip of the iceberg of the things we have been given.
i think you got your snow today.... or at least we did. and inches of it. thanks for hanging out with us even though we're crazy. i got really sick on friday night (as in the coughing wouldn't stop) and so maybe that explains some of my grumpiness.
