Count your Many Blessings...

By -



Today is a post about blessings....and how thankful I am for mine. 

Some of my most tressured blessings are:

*My Heavenly Father & Savior- and the knowledge that I have been blessed with in regards to Religion.

*My husband

*My Family(both My side and Richards :)

*MUSIC....MUSIC....MUSIC!!!! Oh how I love music.

*My home

*Having a reliable vehicle

*Our Kitties :)

*My Friends

*The opportunity that I have to live in a free country

and this list goes on...and on...and on.

What brought this topic up?  Well both Richard and I got a raise today at work...and I have to say I am so thankful!  It really is appreciated by us and we both feel so blessed to work for such a great company who really cares about their employees.  

Richard and I were talking about this other day...and how it's so easy to just want "more".  For example, you get something which is "more" than what you're used to(like a vacation)...and after getting used to the idea...you still want "MORE".  Sometimes I think we just need to step back and remember what we have, enjoy it...AND.....be thankful for it.  I think that for both Richard and I, we would truly enjoy the blessings we have more in our life if we stopped wanting "more"(and usually those extra things we want more of are things that don't really matter).  

That's me...standing on my soap box today.  Moral of the story?  Focus on the blessings you have and enjoy them..

Night all :)

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta

Six Months...

I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that on the
