Happy Thanksgiving!

"Gratitude consists of being more aware of what you have, than what you don’t."-unknown


My heart is so full today that I could take the next 3 days to post all I am thankful for and still have some left over. My life is overflowing with abundance. I am so grateful to my Father in Heaven for my life and to my Savior for making that life so full and meaningful. For my soul mate Ross, who makes me laugh every day and who I know loves me unconditionally, even through my weaknesses. For my 3 AMAZING sons, individually and collectively, who make me want to be a better person every day. For my family, my friends, the gospel, etc. etc. And mostly for the chance every day to show that I am grateful and that I can be who I am meant to be.

I love you all! Have a wonderful day.

Thoughts

“As a being of power, intelligence, and the master of his own thoughts, a man holds the key to every situation, to make his life what he chooses it to be. When he discovers the divine power within his soul, he can lead his life to a God-like nature. If one dreams lofty dreams, so shall he become. There is magic in the way one thinks. If we expect the worst, we will get the worst. If we expect the best, we will receive the best. If we train our minds to have faith in God and ourselves, we are using one of the great laws of life. If we think and live righteously, happiness will find its place in our lives. It is amazing when we expect the best how forces are set in motion which cause the best to materialize.

Our thoughts more than circumstances determine the course of our lives. Outward circumstances do not determine the course of our lives as much as the thoughts that habitually occupy our minds. These thoughts carve their impression on our faces, in our hearts, and on the tablet of our eternal souls.”

Pay It Forward-check!

I posted earlier this year a pay-it-forward. I also posted it on Facebook. I ended up having 7 people to pay-it-forward to. I am happy to say that I completed the final one this last week. That was so much fun! I just might do it again in the future.
