First and NOT Last Post!

Hey Everyone,

So, I seem to have a notorious habit for ending blogs before I'm really done with them... and that's a very bad habit I think... This one will be good, and will work, I'm making it a goal, unlike my other blogs, which were hopes, not goals. As the saying goes, "A goal not written down is just a wish." 
So (I might say that a lot, bear with me please), why did I make this blog? Well, in Sacrament meeting, they've kinda been focusing on gratitude and showing it. And writing it down. It's much easier for me to remember when I'm on my phone a lot, than it is to try and remember when I'm writing in my journal where almost every other thought goes... (whoever wants records of me someday in the future will find a library, I swear it's getting that large a stack). My solution? A blog. I got the Blogger app on my phone and I can use my computer as well. I'll write something I'm thankful for every day. I might even turn this into a project..hm... who knows lol. Anyway, for now it's just a gratitude blog. And a great idea so close to thanksgiving! ;)
Today, somethings I'm grateful for are:
*Family (OH YES)
*Friends (the good, the true, and the best)
*Doctors (despite my lab coat phobia)
*Temples
*God's TRUE gospel!
*Missionaries (You missionaries out there, keep going you're amazing!)
*Mission prep (though if I could make a request, it wouldn't be at 730 in the morning almost 10-15 minutes away from me)
*Church
*School (Yup. I'm a nerd, but proud. Some argue I'm geeky)
*Glasses (I'd be blind as a bat without mine!)
*Ace Bandages (for those who know me know how many times I use that little tan wrap in my backpack. It saves me a lot of hassle and stress every day!
*Personal Progress (IT IS AMAZING! I wrote my testimony and I was so inspired at that moment that I'll probably never be able to repeat it ever the same way, so when I find it I'll post it, because I feel like someone out there needs it)
*Church Leaders
*Elder Holland & Brother Black (who are serious spiritual giants)
* Scriptures (our map everyday of our lives)
*My phone (Cuz I use it a lot to communicate and since I've moved a bit, I use it to communicate with friends, and cuz I'm in a church calling--Laurels presidency in my ward-- I use it to communicate with the girls and send messages of inspiration sometimes and often)
*FOOD (yes, kinda dorky lol, but I'm so grateful for it.)
*Water (OH YES. I WOULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT WATER! droughs, who wouldn't that kill?)
*great examples in my life
and last for today, but definitely not least (btw only like the top ten are in order)
*All cancer survivors! (A close friend of mine and one of my inspirations every single day, Teresa Schoonmaker, passed away in 2010 from pancreatic cancer and MAN she was a kick butt trooper! She NEVER complained EVER, and she was a very hard worker. Always willing to give hugs and help out, and when she was an achievement day leader, I learned how to make a lot I never would have if she hadn't been my leader! I'm serious!)

God Bless!
