I am wanting to make a habit of listing ten things I am grateful for every week.

1. My Sweet Noah and his health
2. My Darling Husband Dana and his health
3. The peace that lives in our home
4. My Dad and his health
5. Our new home
6. The birds that sing all day long on our land
7. Friends
8. Our sweet animals
9. A supply of fresh water to drink
10.The horses that neigh and whinny that I can hear down the hill.

I am learning that the opposite of self pity if gratefulness....

Today I am choosing to allow thanksgiving to rule my heart and mind

Today I am most greatful that my friend has come back to the realization that God loves her and is providing incredibly for her! I wish I could elaborate on her situation but God has performed several miracles for her today alone, I am so excited to see what is in her future!

I am also greatful for 2 beautiful healthy obedient children
a hard working loyal loving DH
good friends
and many many more things.
