I am grateful for prayer.  I have the stomach right now and must've said at least 20 prayers in the last 12 hours.

I am grateful that this is the last Friday of school.  I am ready for summer.

I am grateful for Unisom.  Without it I would be one tired and cranky girl.

I am grateful for the new shock collar that we got for Lucky.  It's amazing the difference it has made in just one day.  

I am grateful for the freedoms I enjoy and all those who have sacrificed to make them possible.  I am especially grateful for my two favorite veterans Chester Lawrence Thorne and Howard Sims Knecht.  I miss them all the time.

I'm grateful Ben is taking piano lessons.  He's doing so well and seems to be gaining confidence from his successes.

I am grateful that I love my husband.  Otherwise I would be really mad at him every time he hits me in his sleep.  

I'm grateful for flowers.  Our world is so pretty because of them.

I am grateful that we only have 11 days of school left.  Woohoo!

I am grateful that I made it through the weekend.

I am grateful for warmer nights and sleeping with the window open.

I am grateful for change.  Change is happening in our lives and I can either fight against it or let it shape me into something better.  Hopefully I can have enough faith to do the latter.

I am grateful for Tom.  I love how excited he gets over seemingly small things.  Today his kindergarten class is practicing eating lunch in the cafeteria.  He is over the moon excited.

I am grateful for inspiration. It would be a sad world if the Spirit was not here to whisper in my ear when I need it most.

I am grateful for my children.  They make me smile.

I am grateful for my mom.  She is the most selfless person I know.  I love her.

I am grateful for all of the awesome women in my life who have mothered me or helped to mother my children.

I am grateful for a husband who gets my weirdness and loves me even still.

I am grateful for good nights of sleep.  I think I slept 9 hours without waking.  Miraculous!!!

I am grateful for rainy days, pajamas, and cozy blankets.  Especially when they all happen at the same time.

I am grateful for good teachers.  My children have really great teachers at school, church, and for piano.

I am grateful for modern plumbing.  We've had several people in our family come down with the stomach flu in the past week.  Modern plumbing eases the pain a little bit, right?
