My friend Angela challenged the visitors of her blog to come up with a list of 10 things that they are grateful for excluding the obvious things like family and friends, the gospel, etc. We were also given this challenge in Sunday school this past week however the challenge was to come up with 5 things. I had a very difficult time coming up with 2, perhaps it’s because I don’t have many earthly possessions that I cherish as much as my family? Here is my list in no particular order.
1. My bed – There is nothing like having a big comfy bed to sleep in when the day ends. Around 11AM is when I start dreaming of a little cat nap however with 2 babies cat naps are no longer part of my life.
2. Washing machine – I can live without a dryer. Sure! A dryer would make life easier however can you imagine washing and wringing out clothes by hand?
3. Double Stroller – makes life SO much easier with 2 babies. I couldn’t imagine carrying them both around everywhere when they were small. It still comes in handy even though they are both mobile.
4. Car – Even though I live in a town where I can walk everywhere its nice having the car for long distance trips. Without a car I wouldn’t be able to get to church each Sunday.
5. Geneology – I am so grateful for the research that I have done. I hope to one day put together a book for my brother and sister with all the details of our geneology. I still have a lot of work yet to do.
6. Phone – It’s nice to be able to stay in touch with loved ones.
7. Computer – without it I wouldn’t be able to stay in touch with friends and family nor would I get as much geneology research done.
8. 6:30PM – Story Time. This is my opportunity to connect with Stevie. We snuggle in the chair in his room and read for 30 minutes before bedtime. Alexis and Trevor listen as we read.
9. Arm & Hammer – ANYTHING Arm & Hammer makes my life smell better. I LOVE their laundry detergent (Orchard Bloom)! My clothes come out smelling so GOOD! The clothes make my closet smell so good! Their carpet sprinkle is FANTABULOUS!! I recently fell in love with their vacuum cleaner filters and powder!! I love Arm & Hammer almost as much as I love APPLE! =)
10. Books - all kinds of books. I love to be swept away by a book. =)
So… that’s it. My list of 10 things I am grateful for.
p.s. I borrowed the image from Angela’s blog. =) Thanks Ang…. =)
