Today I am especially grateful for:
1. the fattest, happiest, smiliest, big eyed baby in the state of Louisiana (that would've had a better ring to it if we had been in Texas.)
2. Jeff's job- I know jobs come and go, but I am grateful for his job now and for what a hard worker he is!
3. earrings- even though I still am working on losing the last 20 lbs of my baby weight, and I feel like my face doesn't look like it should (it shows extra weight, unlike people with skinny faces) I can still wear cute earring no matter what size I am
4. TV- I know, I know. The TV is filled with filth these days, and I do not indulge those shows and have to continually ask myslf if what I am watching is appropriate. No matter how popular or funny they are, it is hard, but as Jeff has told me, it's evil wrapped up in a funny show, but I will be honest and admit, I like to sit down after the end of a long day (which is every day) and relax and laugh a bit at something meaningless.
5. Sewing machine- in nutshell, I am grateful for it because not a day goes by that I don't want to sit down and sew something, it is always in the back of my mind, and I'm constantly dreaming up things I would like to have time to sew.

It has been recommended in church a few times now in the past month to keep a gratitude journal. I know if I actually had to write it out by hand, it would never happen. But I do think it is a wonderful idea and I am going to try to this. 5 things I am grateful for every day, at least for a month. I am hoping it will instill in me more humility, even more gratitude, and be able to show my gratitude more often to those I love.
1. the gorgeous azaleas in bloom that make the South a girl's dream
2. a leisurely Sunday stroll with my family around the neighborhood
3. phones to keep in touch with my friends
4. yummy desserts-I enjoy making specialty desserts for my family on Sunday evening...yesterday's treat-poppyseed cake with lemon curd filling, vanilla cream cheese frosting and berries
5. the perfect weather that graces the south in March and April
