HEATED SEATS

 We don't live in frigid cold temperatures.  But, it's mildly cold.

And, ON those mornings when I drive into town, I am so very grateful for Heated seats.  It's really a luxury, I know, but I'm thankful.

GOOD TEETH!

 Oh, I've been plenty unhappy about the shape and position of my teeth.

But, I have good teeth.  They are still in my head and still functioning.  So that is all good and I am grateful.

Allen just learned that he will have a tooth extracted AND have to have it replaced.

There goes SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS!  

YIKES.

So, it makes me grateful to my parents for the good teeth they passed on to me!

I am thankful.

A New Year of Gratitudes

 Allen took some wonderful pictures of families on Sunday.  The boys in the family had been ordained as a Teacher in the Aaronic priesthood.  So, Allen took the families outside and took their pictures.  Which he then spent quite a bit of time cropping, editing, etc.

ONE family wrote to say they couldn't open the ZIP file.  So, Allen fixed that.  The father wrote back a one word response.  THANKS.

It has made me realize how often people take things for granted.  And, among those people is ME!

I look back on my life and realize that I have not always been a grateful person.  Oh, I may have remembered to say thanks, but oftentimes, probably NOT!  

I do not like those memories of being UNGRATEFUL.

My goal - among others - this year is to be more grateful; to family members, to friends, to GOD especially.

I have so many things to be grateful for; and I am.

Now, I just need to remember this post and to express my gratitude continually.
