Let's be honest

Last night was one of those crawl in a hole, snuggle up with a blanket, and sleep everything away kind of nights. I took a nice long, hot shower in hopes that I would sleep good. Well that definitely backfired. I didn't sleep at all last night. Thank goodness it's Tuesday, and there was a devotional today that was exactly what I needed to hear. Seriously, who is telling these people what I'm going through!? The last 2 devotionals have been perfect, and if you missed it here's the link to read or watch the speeches. http://speeches.byu.edu/ My favorites were Jeffrey Wilks entitled Optimism and Joy in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and then todays was given by Ray Huntington(it's not up yet, but you should check everyday until it's there!). Brother Huntington talked about a gratitude journal, and I think that's just what I need. So here's my gratitude journal for the day:

I'm grateful that 2 of my sisters and a brother in-law are here at BYU with me. Plus, I have always been blessed with great roommates. I seriously would go insane without them.

I'm grateful for an able body that can run, jump around, swim, and play sports.

I'm so incredibly grateful to be in a major that I love (no matter what all you haters think about Elementary Ed.)

I'm grateful for opportunities to serve, and those special moments when you find out they really needed it that day.

I love it when people comment on my smile. It makes my whole entire week!

I'm grateful for parents that raised me in a loving home that showed me that the gospel should be the center of our lives.

I'm grateful for fall days, sweaters, and hot chocolate.

I'm grateful for grandparents that have served missions, and are amazing examples.

I'm grateful for general conference coming up, and having the opportunity to listen to the Apostles and Prophet speak to ME.

And most importantly, I'm so grateful that my family, minus Nat:(, are coming down to Provo on Friday! I can't wait to spend a weekend not thinking, laughing with my family, and being spiritually uplifted!

What's in your gratitude journal today?
