So much to be thankful for

November 18
My parents!! Today is their 29th wedding anniversary and I'm so grateful for them and all they've done for me in my life. I'm grateful they have worked through the hard times and given me a good example of how marriage can work. :)

Optimism. I really am grateful for optimism and optimistic people. As I sat tonight doing a service project at FHE with a few people on the cynical side, I was grateful for all the people in my life who will try and look on the bright side instead of seeing and commenting on all the bad things. I understand realism and knowing that the world isn't sunshine and roses all the time, but it really does make like easier and better to try and find the positive in a world that sometimes feels like it's filled with darkness and thorns.

Modern Medicine. When you feel crappy like I did today, it's nice to take some medicine and feel better. I'm a fan of somewhat instant pain relief. People who like to just endure it are crazy in my book.

Great people in my ward and their willingness to serve. Tim and Alex get the shout out on this one for lifting the giant motorcycle engine out of my trunk into Hollie's car for me. Pretty sure that one wouldn't have happened without them.
