293. Today I am grateful for my body

I am often amazed by how perfectly the body has been designed with a purpose for everything.

292. Today I am grateful for books

I am grateful for good books and the opportunity I have to read them. Right now I am reading President Gordon B. Hinckley’s “Standing for Something”, which is a great book to evaluate our lives and what we can do personally to make positive changes in our life, families and communities. My favourites growing up were the “Ann of Green Gable” and “Little House on the Prairie” series, which I brought out to Edmonton with me. I also love the “Work and the Glory Series”. I would love to read all these series again.

291. Today I am grateful for a dryer

Although most people in North America have a dryer, it wasn’t that long ago when most people hung up their clothes outside to dry. I am particularly grateful for dryers because I mainly do my laundry in the evening and use the dryer to dry most of my clothes. Dryers also dry clothes so much faster in the winter. I also love putting on warm clothes straight from the dryer.

290. Today I am grateful for a washing machine

While there are a few things I own that I wash by hand, I am grateful that I can throw most of my clothes in the washing machine.

289. Today I am grateful that this Cough is finally over!

After about 3 months, my cough is finally over. I am so grateful that I can regain my health and strength and hope to never have to endure that again.

288. Today I am grateful for Weeding

Today I joined some people from work and the Kinsclub to do some weeding. My roommate also came out to volunteer her time. I enjoyed talking with the members of the Kinsclub and hear about the variety of volunteer projects they work with. I think it’s great that there are various groups dedicated to serving their community.    

287. Today I am grateful for baby news

I am always excited for people who are expecting a baby, what is more exciting than bringing a new life into this world? Right now I have two good friends expecting babies, one that I found about tonight. I can’t wait to meet these little babies.
