182. Today I am grateful for smiles

... and how can this photo not make you smile.

181.Today I am grateful that I came to Edmonton

Today in our family support worker meeting we were each asked to share a positive experience of change. I shared my experience with making the decision to come to Edmonton and the positive experiences I have had with living on my own and with roommates, People I have met, earning my degree from the University of Alberta, and of course getting this job. I’m not sure that I want to stay in Edmonton forever but there are several factors that will determine where I live, one in particular.   

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.

177. Today I am grateful for Sunday school

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.
