1. I am thankful that if I don't write everyday it is not the end of the world - mine or yours. :) I love writing everyday, it keeps me walking when I don't want to...but I am far enough along on my journey that I am able to keep walking without it. I was really nervous if I stopped writing I would stop walking - I really did have the two tied that closely together. Now, now I can untie them and hopefully continue both for different reasons.
2. My family coming to visit. It was so wonderful having my big brother and his family stay with us for the weekend. My children fell in love with their cousins. The adults had some great chats and I got to know my sister-in-law better and discover my big brother is growing up. :)
3. Along with #2, is my parents not only coming to visit, but my father baptizing S. I have been very appreciate my entire married life that my dad will take care of the church ordinances for me - blessing the babies, baptizing the children...it means a great deal to me that it all stays within the family.
4. S's baptism! She is so thankful that she is finally baptized - she has been waiting since her birthday last year. The baptism was very nice. We had so many friends from the ward come to watch, it was nice. It was nice that Steve, K and Z all spoke. It was nice that my friend, Tana, spoke and even tied Plants vs Zombie to the Holy Ghost - S was thrilled! It was nice to remember that despite tough times, we have friends that love us. I am especially thankful of Br. Goodwin who reminded me how much our friendship means to one another. He is an amazing man.
5. I am thankful that I chose Steve as my husband all those many years ago...I guess if I was being more accurate, I should say I am thankful that Steve chose me and I finally let go of my fears and agreed to marry him. :) Either way, I am thankful for him, our marriage, our family and our life together. I honestly can't remember my life before him...and that is a good thing.
*All the visiting family is gone, so I should be back to my regular schedule of writing and walking.
Happy Walking!
