357. Today I am grateful for ERSA & Smores

I am grateful for the opportunity I had this evening to spend with other girls from the ward, have a bonfire and eat smores. I am also grateful that I didn’t get lost going to a park I had never been to before.  Sometimes those River Valley roads can be confusing.

356. Today I am grateful for straight hair

When I was in BC I got my hair permanently straightened. I had it done once before over a year and a half ago and really liked it so I decided to do it again. I love that I can wash my hair and it will dry in straight and frizz-free and being summer I don’t even need to blow dry it. Being straight makes it so much easier to manage.  

355. Today I am grateful for the Ocean

One of the things I love most about living on the Coast is the Ocean, which is one thing I miss being here in Alberta.   

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grateful for the choices that I have made to live a virtuous life and that in a world where virtue is seen by many as “outdated”, I am grateful that there are many others who believe in virtue as well.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