Gratitude List

In no order at all, I have soooo much to be grateful for. I feel compelled to right them out.

1. I am grateful for amazing clients. They work so hard and bring me so much joy, especially as they see the difference our trainings make in their lives. I have a 74 year old woman who can do 15 full range pushups on her toes and a woman who can balance herself on two stability balls. A woman who just got off Blood Pressure meds and has inspired her husband to begin a workout program, and the list goes on.

2. I am grateful for my other job, Group Exercise Instructor.  I would never push myself the way I do or workout as frequent if I didn't "have to show up". I've NEVR felt stronger, both in my muscles and my cardiovascular system. I have sooo much energy, because of the awesome programs I get to teach.

3. I am grateful for my new calling of Stake Relief Society Secretary. My desire to learn has increased so much. I feel like I can't get enough knowledge and I want to read so many books and words of the current prophets and leaders.

4. I am extremely grateful for HEALTH. So many families are going through heartbreaking situations as their family members suffer. We haven't had a sick visit in years.

5. I am thankful for all mu family: individual family, the family I came from, the family I married into, and my extended family. So many amazing people who love and support me.

6. Grateful for a husband with good work ethic and who is also a wonderful daddy to my kids.

7. Grateful for my macbook pro, best investment of the year. Last year's best investment was my GVP straight iron.

8. Grateful to live in a safe city. Grateful to live in a wonderful country.

9. Grateful for Fresh & Easy Market.  Lots of coupons to save big on groceries and awesome meal planning to save me tons of time on cooking.

10. Grateful for ice cream, it's a household favorite

11. And I also love my vegetables. My parents are amazed. I didn't eat a single vegetable until I hit 18, and now I can't get enough of them, yum, yum, yum.

12. Grateful to not have any addictions.

13. Grateful for MINT lifesavers, long story, but they literally save my life every night. I wouldn't get any sleep without them, which leads to #14

14. I love sleep. I love that I can fall asleep easily!!!

15. Grateful for good friends.

16. Grateful for good books. I don't read much, about a chapter a day is all, but reading sure gives me a brighter perspective on life. I've got it pretty good compared to the heart wrenching stories I have read.

17. And while I am onto media, glad to have a few good TV shows that give me a good laugh. Laughter is always good medicine.

18. So happy to finally have all four of us in a 16x20 frame on my wall. (we only had 3 of us for way too long). I smile every time I see my family, I love photographs of them.

19. Grateful Buddy (elf on the shelf) has come to visit for the season. He works his magic very nicely.

20. Grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ.

ok, I'm starting to get tired, so maybe I will add to the list tomorrow.
