Giving Thanks (day 12)

Today I am thankful for gratitude.

I am thankful for so many things, I can’t ever mention them all.
Sitting here, each day, trying to single out ONE has been very eye-opening.
There really is…SO much.

I find myself being thankful for even the little things.

  • coming home from work to a clean kitchen
  • someone helping me clean up after dinner
  • talking to Taylor on the phone or texting/chatting…every day!
  • the extra loud, house quaking sound effects of the movie by husband and daughter are watching together
  • the unconditional love of a dog
  • the peace and love I feel from a loving Heavenly Father, especially after He sends a challenge my way
  • the reassurance from my Savior that he will carry me through

Giving Thanks (day 11)

Today I am thankful for compromise.

It is an important concept.
It is valuable for both personal and business relationships.

For example…many of our clients are open on some minor holidays AND
I have a boss that agrees that we should take more of these holiday’s off.

We decided that we can provide customer service and boost office morale by compromising.
We were opened for a half day today.
I propose we consider this option more often.

Giving Thanks (day 10)

Today I am thankful for friendships.

The friendships at work.
The friendships at church.
The friendships at home.

The funny thing about friendships... they change.  People come and go.

I am sad and will always miss the friends that move.
I am happy when I am reunited with those from the past.
I am thrilled with opportunities to meet someone new.
