354. Today I am grateful for a Nap

I don’t often go for naps but I am grateful for the nap I took after work today to reenergize.  

353. Today I am grateful that I am sensitive

I have had people tell me that I am sensitive but I don’t think I’m too sensitive and I don’t think it’s a bad thing either. Sure, I might take things too personally or get my feelings hurt but I think that being sensitive also helps me to be more caring and understanding towards others.

352. Today I am grateful for virtue

I am grateful for the choices that I have made to live a virtuous life and that in a world where virtue is seen by many as “outdated”, I am grateful that there are many others who believe in virtue as well.

351. Today I am grateful for a day at the beach with my family

We got back home late last night and this morning my parents asked me what I wanted to do for my last day home (I fly back to Edmonton tonight). My answer was going to the beach so we spent the day at Crescent Beach in Surrey. It was such a nice day and the weekend so the beach was pretty busy. It was lots of fun though walking along the beach, eating gelato and drinking lemonade that two little girls were selling to raise money for the SPCA. We also took a tour of a hovercraft which was really neat. The Canadian Coast Guard had docked at Crescent Beach for a couple of hours or so and gave tours and answered questions that people had. It was a great day for the beach with my family!

350. Today I am grateful for road trip games

Last night we drove from Provo to Boise and had a lot of fun playing road trip games. My family likes to play the alphabet type of games ... “I went on a vacation and brought with me” ... and where you pick a category, for example animals, and then everyone takes turns saying an animal that starts with the next letter of the alphabet. It was pretty fun!     

349. Today I am grateful for Mountains

As we leave Utah and head back to BC I am reminded of my love for mountains. Utah and BC both have pretty amazing mountains!

348. Today I am grateful for Salt Lake City

We spent most of the day in Salt Lake City today and it was lots of fun. I especially love temple square, the visitors centre and the church history museum, not only are they awesome but there free.  I also love the Family History Library but didn't go there this time. I am grateful that the Mormon Pioneers did settle the Salt Lake Valley and that their history has been preserved.
