My heart has been on fire today...thinking about all the beautiful, simple blessings in my life. Although I strive to have a thankful heart all year long, Thanksgiving always brings it to the fullest extent in me. Such a beautiful holiday. Right now I am thankful for...
laughter
sweet smiles from my kids
The Book of Mormon
family scripture time no matter how chaotic and crazy it can sometimes be
dancing in the kitchen with my husband (cheek to cheek tango)
daily phone calls with my mom
a healthy body that has carried 3 beautiful babies into the world
friendship
the fall rain
the ability to change my circumstances...I am in control of my life
books to carry me away
the love of my Heavenly Father...I feel it everyday
living close to family
full-on, bust a gut giggles :)
and so much more.
My blessings are abundant. A charmed life, indeed.
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

Great quote - and Happy Thanksgiving!! Did you love new moon - I thought it was great but it made me realize that I will always want more and will never be satisfied :) I think that is what makes it so great.
