Giving Thanks

In honor of the holiday coming up, I wanted to write a post about a few of the many things I am grateful for.

This past month or so, I've been keeping a gratitude journal and it's getting pretty full. It's a good feeling to reflect on how blessed you are and all the things we have to be thankful for.
Here are a few of my wonderful blessings:

1. My Heavenly Father and the testimony I have of him. I'm so thankful for the power or prayer and the knowledge that I have of my Father in Heaven. I feel his love and blessings everyday and I'm so thankful for that.



2. My Family. I have a different relationship with each person in my family and I'm so thankful for each one. I'm really close to all of them and I love their individual personalities. We have so much fun together and we're a really close family. They're amazing people and I'm so thankful that God chose to put us together. 







3. My boyfriend. He's a good man and a really hard worker. I'm thankful for a boyfriend who is also my best friend. We have so much fun together and we're always joking around with each other. He makes me laugh, laughs at my weirdness, puts up with me on my bad days and treats me so well.








4. My friends. I have the best and funniest friends in the world. I'm so thankful that they're as weird as I am and that we have so much fun together. We're always there for each other and I'm so lucky to have them.






5. My country. It's an incredible blessing to live in this free, beautiful country. I'm thankful for the people who fight/fought for it and freedom. I'm also thankful for the state where I live in this country. It's so beautiful!





These are just a few of my favorite blessings. I'm so thankful for what I've been given and I couldn't ask for a better life!
