So, for Thursday and Friday I was in a funk. I won't go into the whys, but I did not appreciate it. I am usually fairly good about keeping upbeat and positive. These last couple days I didn't. And, Man, a funk can make you tired. So last night I went to bed at 10 and didn't get up until 7:30. Once I was awake I decided to go for a run (that usually perks me right up) While I was running I started thinking about "The Funk" and decided to list what I was grateful for. This was inpart to ease myself into a happier mind state and to distract myself from dying of thirst. Here is what I came up with...
I have the most gorgeous little boy
My husband is dang good looking and he has such strength of character that I often look to him when I am in merky waters, plus he is my BEST friend
I have the greatest family anyone could ever ask for and we are going to be together for eternity
I get to look at awe inspiring mountains out my window every day
The gospel is an anchor to my soul and in the Lord I can do anything and handle anything that comes my way
I have my health-- at least enough to be running and listing various things in my head at the same time
Jason and I have our own room (that may not seem like much, but after having Jefferson share our room for a year, it is wonderful)
I have friends. I may not have many, but I am sure that I do have some. Don't laugh
I have many interests in life that keep me learning and growing
I have a roof over my head and food in the fridge
Jason took my car and filled up my really low tires at 8 last night so I could go have some time to myself today
etc. etc. etc.
And you know what...It worked. I am happy as a clam (whatever that means). What are you grateful for?
