Its been a rough couple of days around these parts! From the youngest to the oldest of our little family of 3, we have had seizures, the barfies, and anxiety. We are also processing the death of two friends. We have done alot of sleeping, laundry, hazard clean up, and Princess movie watching! On tough weeks like this, its wonderful to have the perfect reminder of what I have found truly keeps me going. I may just have to make this my new mantra..."Gratitude expressed to our Heavenly Father in prayer for what we have brings a calming peace—a peace which allows us to not canker our souls for what we don’t have. Gratitude brings a peace that helps us overcome the pain of adversity and failure. Gratitude on a daily basis means we express appreciation for what we have now without qualification for what we had in the past or desire in the future. A recognition of and appreciation for our gifts and talents which have been given also allows us to acknowledge the need for help and assistance from the gifts and talents possessed by others." -Robert D. Hales
