Grateful..

In stake conference today there was a talk about being grateful. As I listened I thought to myself that I need to be more grateful. So a few things.. How about one thing for each day of this month so far...

1-The gospel of Jesus Christ in my life, even though sometimes I take it for granted.
2- My job, and bosses who give me encouragement.
3- My beautiful mom who sticks by me for everything even when I get mad at her :)
4- My students who can always bring a smile to my face.
5- Bountiful Baskets, they provide me with delicious fruits and vegetable every other week.
6- Weekends and the ability to accomplish so much.
7- The beautiful colors of fall.. Even though I don't see a ton of colors in AZ I know the beauty they are bringing to the rest of the world.
8- Tolleson Union School district and giving us a 3 day work week.
9- Seeing my students accomplish things like a tomato consame or mastering french bread.
10- Seeing other culinary programs, and talking to those who teach and gaining knowledge from them.
11- Those who have served and continue to serve our country so I can have all the freedoms other countries don't.
12- Medication to take the pain away from my back that I hurt when working on a dresser.
13- The flash cards, and book my mom purchased for me to pass my test.
14- Today I am especially grateful for the opportunity to think about the things I am grateful for.. I am so grateful for a warm home and for the means to prepare a delicious meal.

I hope others think about the things they are grateful for. Its very easy for us to forget the people and the things that bless our lives.
