180. Today I am grateful for a day planner

I am grateful for a day planner as it helps me plan my day. My job requires that I schedule appointments and meetings and a day planner defiantly helps with the scheduling and keeping track of what needs to be done each day.

179. Today I am grateful for pajamas


As I was getting ready for bed, I put my pajamas on and came to a realization that wearing pajamas makes sleeping much more comfortable than wearing regular clothing. This is something I have always known but I put pajamas on out of routine not because I think of the comfort they bring. It’s a simple thing but what a difference it makes! Sometimes if it’s cold and/or wet, coming home and changing into PJ’s also feels pretty good.

178. Today I am grateful for Family Day


 I love British Columbia and often find opportunities to let others know how much I love the province I call home. However, I have to admit that one of the things that make Alberta better is this holiday. Not just because it’s another day off work but because it’s a holiday that focuses on families and encourages families to spend the day together. I celebrated by calling family members and working on some family history.

I love Sunday school and the opportunity it gives me to further my knowledge of the scriptures and the gospel. I love we have the opportunity to learn from others and strengthen each other.

176. Today I am grateful to witness a wedding


I love weddings and watching families grow. Today I was asked to witness the wedding of my roommate (well I guess former roommate now). I felt it an honour to be present to witness the wedding.

175. Today I am grateful for healthy mental health


Last Friday and today I attended a “mental health first Aid” training. I am grateful that mental health issues are not a struggle that I have, aside from occasional feelings of sadness, anxiety, worrying, etc. However, these are not feelings that last for very long and I feel that I handle these feelings well and not something I dwell on. Not to say that this makes me better than those who do have this struggle because so many do and I have at least some understanding of the difficulty it brings to them and the affect it has on others. I am grateful also for the role I can play in helping people who are in this situation and hope that I can do to be more understanding.

174. Today I am grateful for fairytales


I love fairytales! Reading them, watching them, and thinking about them. I love happy endings and I love that we have the power to create happy endings and have our own fairytales.
