Life. Is. Good.

I love this poem:

I am thankful…

For The Mess To Clean After A Party Because It Means I Have Been Surrounded By Friends.

For The Clothes That Fit A Little Too Snug Because It Means I Have Enough To Eat.

For My Shadow That Watches Me Work Because It Means I Am Out In The Sunshine

For A Lawn That Needs Mowing, Windows That Need Cleaning, And Gutters That Need Fixing Because It Means I Have A Home.

For The Teenager Who Is Complaining About Doing Dishes Because It Means She Is At Home, Not On The Streets.

For The Taxes I Pay Because It Means I Am Employed.

For All The Complaining I Hear About The Government Because It Means We Have Freedom Of Speech.

For The Parking Spot I Find At The Far End Of The Parking Lot Because It Means I Am Capable Of Walking And I Have Been Blessed With Transportation.

For My Huge Heating Bill Because It Means I Am Warm.

For The Lady Behind Me In Church Who Sings Off Key Because It Means I Can Hear.

For The Pile Of Laundry And Ironing Because It Means I Have Clothes To Wear.

For Weariness And Aching Muscles At The End Of The Day Because It Means I Have Been Capable Of Working Hard.

Finally, For Too Much E-Mail Because It Means I Have Friends Who Are Thinking Of Me.

For The Alarm That Goes Off In The Early Morning Hours Because It Means I Am Alive."

Life is good today in my corner of the universe.

I love Fall.

I love school.

I love my Family. 

I love my friends. 

I love the opportunity I have to get an education. 

I am grateful for my health. 

I am grateful for the sunshine. 

I am grateful for my roommates. 

I am grateful to live in this country. 

I am grateful to have the gospel in my life. 

I am grateful for food on the table. 

I am grateful for a place to live.
Sometimes I forget these things, but when I see people who don't.... I stop and think...What could I ever have to complain about?

 Absolutely Nothing.

 Heavenly Father is so good to me. And I don't deserve it. Sometimes (more often than not) I forget to thank God for these things in my life. Today I will not.
