Sing a hymn?

After I came home from work I was in a grumpy mood.  It was one of those days that just seem darn right bad! I started to sit down and review my day and think of all the bad.  How I woke up feeling like I got hit by a truck, how every call at work was someone complaining, How I got in a fight with my sister, and a million other little things that started to surface that I would love to complain about.  But then a little thought pop in my head, “what is all the complaining for? Its not going to make things better”  Then a little song popped in my head, “Count Your Many Blessings”  So instead of listing all the bad I will list all the good,…

I have a amazing family who have always been there for me
I have a good job that has been very understanding in everything
I have a amazing boyfriend who takes care of me and makes me oh so happy
I have friends that can make me laugh so hard I turn blue,
I have a great roommate and wonderful place to live.
I belong to the church of Jesus Christ
I not only have a great sister but she is my best friend.
I still learn from and draw from the experiences  I had on my mission everyday.
I  know that there are many people in my life who would do anything for me because they that amazing!
I live so close to so many temples and have the opportunity to go as often as I want!
I grew up close to my grandparents who taught me a lot!
I have parents who teach me by their example how to be Christ like and charitable
I had a mother and grandma and aunt who taught me to cook, clean, sew and be a successful women.

Those are just a few of the most important things in my life! There are to many to count so with all those great things in my life how can I be grumpy?

Love your list! I gotta do that next time I'm feeling sorry for myself. I know I have a long list of great stuff to be thankful for.
