Day 30

Today Im grateful for a husband who knows when and how to make me laugh. Sometimes I can take whats going on around me too seriously and he always knows that and knows just what to say and do to make me smile.

Day 29

I am so very grateful for my friend Sabrina. It was with her urging that we began our weight loss journey together. She has been a dear friend and has allowed me to love her children. I have a small sense of the joys and frustrations that come with being a mom. Today as I got out of her car, her 4 year old son told me he loved me. Im going to miss her terribly when she moves to CA this weekend. My one solice is that she's not moving far and I can go visit. Thank You Sabrina for being my friend and my sister.

Days 24 Through 28

Day 24

I'm thankful for my parents. I have not been able to celebrate any holidays with them since I got married. I'm grateful for all the efforts they put in every year to make Thanksgiving wonderful.

Day 25

I'm grateful that while my Thanksgiving meal was not that great (going out usually isn't as good as making your own), that I didn't have any leftovers to tempt me. Im working so hard on this weightless journey and have a very strong desire to succeed.

Day 26

I'm grateful my husband has a good job. I'm grateful for all the hard work ALL the UPS employees put in every year to make sure we all have our Christmas presents. I hope all of you take a moment and thank their families for the sacrifice they make in not having their loved ones around during the holidays.

Day 27

Im thankful for a Primary class that asks the question Why. Today it turned into a wonderful teaching experience which I treasure. They remind me of why Im doing what I am.

Day 28

I'm grateful for my little online support group. I'm grateful I can go to them with questions on how to handle some situations and that they are inspired to give me the answers and guidance Im in search of. I appreciate that its a private group so I don't have to worry about my business being spread.

Days 22 & 23

Day 22 I am thankful for missionary experiences. Im grateful for the people I have met and for the connection I have to them

Day 23

I am grateful I had the opportunity to attend an interfaith Thanksgiving Eve service tonight. It brought me much needed peace and reminded me once again that we all have so much to be grateful for even when it doesn't seem that way

Days 18-21

Day 18
I am thankful for my home. I am grateful for its location and that its safe and sound after the fires

Day 19
I'm grateful for all my answered prayers both asked for and those that maybe I didnt ask for. Im grateful for the comfort they give

Day 20
I'm grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. I'm grateful for his sacrifice on my behalf.

Day 21
I'm grateful to have a wonderful husband who has been so supportive as I have embarked on this journey. Without him I would not be as successful as I have been

Day 17

Today I am grateful that I live in the day and time I do. As I was taking a shower this morning and shaving my legs I realized I don't think I would have made a good pioneer. enjoy the modern stuff too much

Day 16

Today I am grateful for my health. As many of you know I suffer from both Type 2 Diabetes and Psoriatic Arthritis. For the last year or so I have been off of my arthritis medications because I was advised by a doctor that in planning on trying to get pregnant that if I can function in day to day life without my arthritis medications its better overall. So when I ran out of the medication I didnt go for a refill. So far I have more good days than bad. I am able to exercise regularly and in fact find that the more I move the better I feel. I still have days where I hurt and it takes all I have to get moving but I know I am being given a gift and for that I am very grateful.
