7.

.
.
.
I think I was trying to hard to think about what I was thankful for today.
I tried to be simple
.
Think of every day things.
.
Then I saw Mike go over to the neighbers behind us who are finally moving in.
after we have watched their house be built from ground up.
They are a family that were already in our ward, they just wanted to upsize a tad.
.
.
I realized two things as I watched them unload the trucks.... {in the freezing cold}
How Thankful I am for service.
When we moved here....we had 10 men waiting on our drive way ready to help.
I didn't move ONE peice of furniture...or one heavy box.
they all got their trucks and headed to our storage unit to empty it out.
they were done in hours. it was HEAVEN!
and so unexpected!
.
.
I love that Mike is so willing to serve.
.
.
I am also thankful for Our neighbors.
its a TIGHT net here in our neighborhood.
we are all very protective and close.
.
.
How lucky I am!
I also Talked to My sister today on the phone....
she mentioned having gratitude in all things!
.
So I guess Im thankful for laundry.
all 80 loads i did today.
and atleast 5 more to go......................
.
.
I am thankful!
I am thankful !
i am!
i am!
i am!

Love you and love your sister, she has helped me see things in a different light. Thankfulness for the laundry means you have clothes to wear, thankfulness for dishes means you have food to eat. Thankfullness for aches and pains in the knees means we can walk......have to look at things in a different light :)
