For whatever reason, I’ve been in a bit of a funk the last few days. I have a to-do list a mile long, including a bunch of blog posts to write… But I just can’t bring myself to do it. And then when I was reading blogs on Monday morning, a bunch of my blogger friends were linking up with Emily over at Ember Grey for her weekly Grateful Heart link up. I’ve seen this link up multiple times but have never done it. And I knew I needed to do it today. I have a lot to be grateful for. So, I am forcing myself to write the post, because I know if I focus on all the good in my life, it will help turn my little funk inside out.

// First off, I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to watch and listen to the General Women’s Meeting on Saturday night. All of the messages were incredible and uplifting. And just what I needed to hear. I am so grateful I am a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I truly love it.

// I’m so grateful for my amazing husband. I have a lot of friends who have gone through, or are going through, hard times in their marriages. And while our marriage isn’t perfect, and we can both always progress and do better (not just in marriage, but in life — and isn’t that what it’s all about?) I am so grateful for Kyle. For the knowledge I have that he loves me. That I love him. That we are in this together and always will be, no matter what lies ahead. He is my best friend, my lover, my rock, my security. I will never be able to express the love and strength he gives me.

// And of course, my little man, Abe. Oh, I look into his beautiful blue eyes and I just see hope and love. He continually changes my world, and my heart. I am so excited to watch him grow and learn and see what he becomes.

// I’m grateful for good friends, for this beautiful world we live on and this beautiful time of year. I’m grateful for my health, my house, Kyle’s job, our education. The list goes on. We are so blessed.
