Need for a Gratitude Attitude

i am in need of a gratitude attitude.  Although I see things around me that are tender mercies of the Lord I tend to forget them quickly.  I want to again start listing things for which I am grateful each day.  I am hoping this will help me 1. keep an optimistic outlook on life  2. be able to better control my temper and patience and 3. allow the spirit to be more fully in my life. 

I am grateful today for

1.  Visitors: the Ueki's have been visitng this week and although I have not spent a lot of time with them I have thoroughly enjoyed having them here.  It is nice to talk to another adult.  I keep the house cleaner.  The kids have someone to play with.

2.  A clean home:  As stated above the house is clean and it definitely makes it easier to be a home.

I am grateful for Conference.
This conference season I made a few new goals,
1.  Have a meaningful prepared FHE
2.  Family Scripture suds daily
3.  Take care of my body ie. weight loss :)

2.  Hugs from Children.
3.  Kyle doing the dishes and caring about how I feel.

Baptism

I am thankful for many things right now.
1.  Zachary chose to be baptized.
2.  Kyle was worthy to baptize Zachary.
3.  The Lord helped me not be anxious during the baptism.

Better once a week or two weeks than once a year?!?

I am grateful for...
1.  Bath time that settles kids down
2.  Freya and Wendy playing so nicely together
3.  An almost all the way clean kitchen

Mommy

One every couple of weeks is better than over a year, right?

Today I am thankful for...
1.  A mom.
2.  Moments when my children actually talk to me.
