The Good Stuff in 2016
This year has been rough. But I’ve mentioned that several times before. Even I’m getting tired of hearing about the 1-2 punches this year has thrown at me. It’s time to move on despite the fact there are still three more months with more tests coming my way I’m sure. Let’s not talk about that right now.

The best day of the year
Counting days on the calendar
to that fourth Thursday in November….
Everyone is coming
gathering from far and near
to celebrate the gift of thanks
because it is the best day of the year.
My thankful list
I am thankful for…
a warm bed to climb into
the food in the cupboard and on the table
the company I keep
that I am fit and able
the car that I drive
the job that I go to
the bills I can pay
all that I get to do
the state I live in
the people I know
the education I have had
the places I can go
a hug and a kiss
a warm smile on a friendly face
my small crowd of fans cheering me on
an understanding grace
trials that knock me down
strength that helps me stand
opposition that makes me grow
an knowledge of the plan
the loving family that I have
my mom’s scriptures that I read
trust and faith extended to me
a small and kind deed
the Atonement offered to me
the fact I know where I belong
examples to light the way…
this list can go on and on.
I may not have it all
but I could not ask for more
except to say more often
what I’m thankful for.
