one year

Sometimes I think about how different life should be right now... But, I can't spend time dwelling on that. There is too much happiness in my life to think about how things should have been. Instead, I need to think about the wonderful things, big an small, in life:

-Brent
-family including my older brother
-Jill
-a place to live
-my education
-being a teacher to my 7 kiddos
-friends
-eternal marriage
-the gospel
-health
-my dishwasher
-cuddling with my husband
-clean clothing
-parents that love me
-warm showers
-seeing the sun rise before work
-diet dr pepper with vanilla
-food to eat
-books
&
-warm, soft blankets

The list could go on. Right now, in this very moment, I have a lot to be grateful for. And I need to remember that.

I am glad that you are not focused on what could have been. But I also think that it is a natural thing to think about what would I be doing if only...
