Gratitouille

Isn't that a fun word? haha

I couldn't get through the day without making note of some of the things I'm thankful for, this glorious day:

  • First thing, my family.  I am slightly emotional, today, just thinking about how much I love them.
  • My marriage.  Easy? No.  Worth it? Yep.
  • My new shoes.  I was complimented on how they make me bounce higher in my exercise class.
  • My exercise class.  For years, I've had the goal to lose weight.  I have finally found something I love, that I can stick to, that's working.  Go me!
  • My body.  It works.  All of it.  That's more awesome than some realize, I think.
  • Cysts that aren't breast cancer.
  • No clouds, today.  We went for a long walk as a family and it felt so good!
  • Holidays... pretty much any of the ones that come after October 1st.
  • Billings, MT.  Our lives have changed for the better since we moved here.
  • The Gospel.  I find peace in so many of my trials because of my relationship with my Heavenly Father.  I don't know how those without it cope.  
  • Smells.  Good ones.  ;)
  • Trees.  I love trees.  Love them.
  • Walking.  
  • Music.  Pretty much any kind.
  • Books.  Best. Escape. Ever.
  • Electricity, indoor plumbing, clocks and trash cans.  And cars.  And the internet.
  • Jingle bell earrings.
  • Steak.
  • The fact that I have so much to be thankful for, that I could probably write a whole book about it.

Game. Set. Match.

I had a goal to meet a certain weight by Thanksgiving.

I met it two days, ago.

Feeling pretty awesome.
