Forty-one reasons to be grateful....
I celebrated my 41st birthday on Sunday, and I thought I would take this opportunity to record the forty-one things in my life for which I am the most grateful. This list is not in any particular order (except for the first five which are all of equal importance to me...they are all in my numero uno spot!) :
1. I am grateful for a loving husband who supports me in all my endeavors and encourages me to be my best.
2. I am grateful for my wonderful children who are three of the greatest blessings of my life.
3. I am grateful for my parents who have instilled in me a sense of values, have given me unconditional love and who provided me with an open-minded approach to living.
4. I am grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
5. I am grateful to have a Lord and Redeemer in Jesus Christ.
6. I am grateful to be in better physical shape than I was last year at this time.
