The Past Month...

So I'm a little behind in my blogging. Probably because I've spent a good majority of the past month complaining! Then, this morning, one great, but simple act, brought me to my knees. As I prayed, I completely broke down, overwhelmed by all of my blessings. I felt especially grateful for amazing parents.

Along the lines of gratitude, Conference was a nice, little jump-start for me. I've never been good at New Year's Resolutions; they've always seemed so superficial to me. But I always set new goals at each Conference. Like always, there were so many wonderful, pertinent talks during Conference. But perhaps the most meaningful message for me was when President Monson spoke about gratitude. I am so blessed, and I have so much to be grateful for. Our family goal for this is to have a gratitude jar. After scripture study each night, we'll write something we're grateful for on a slip of paper. A small thing, but I think it is recognizing the small things that can lead us to recognize the true extent of our blessings.

So I think I'll try less complaining, and more blogging of the beautiful blessings in life :)
