What I Am Thankful For

Yesterday I thought I'd had a pretty lousy Thanksgiving here in Delhi, for reasons which I won't go into since they are pretty trivial. Today I am counting my blessings after hearing about the death of a young father who leaves behind a young wife who is just 4 weeks pregnant and a 13 month old.

I am thankful for:

My God and My Religion - I am so grateful for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the fullness of his Gospel on the earth today and all that it means to me.

My Family - I'm so lucky to have such a supportive husband and such a great extended family, and I'm really excited to welcome grandchild #6.

My Friends - I have a stellar set of friends.

My Country - I've been fortunate to travel to many places, and as much as I love visiting them all I love my country and am proud to be an American.

Chocolate - 'nuff said!

I could go on and on, but those are the highlights. I hope to continue focusing more on my blessings and less on my "growth opportunities."
