Gratitude and Blessings in August

Mon 31 *I am so thankful I was finally able to make a good amount at work tonight. I am also thankful for a fun lunch with my sister and her neighbor.
Sun 30 *I am thankful our friend encouraged us to attend the fireside tonight. I had forgotten how much I could learn from Daniel Rona.
Sat 29 *I am thankful I was able to attend a great Stake Relief Society enrichment where I learned about the temple. I am going to work even harder to make the temple a more central focus in my life.
Fri 28 *Today I have been blessed with finding out that I picked the right shoes for my body. Apparently I overpronate when I run so I need shoes that correct that and ironically I found shoes that did that without the help of a sales person. I have also been blessed to have a great night at work where I was able to get some good sales so my numbers will go up.
Thur 27 *I am thankful we were able to find shoes for Braxton and I.
Wed 26 *I am thankful I was able to get the house cleaned before I went to the park with friends. I am also thankful I was able to get it done so I could spend time with Braxton and tend to the babies I am watching in the afternoon.
Tue 25 *I am thankful I was able to have a pretty good night at work tonight. I felt like I worked really hard and my performance was good.
Mon 24 *I am so thankful for the direction from the spirit to find a wonderful park to run in.
Sun 23 *I have been blessed to learn from the prophets at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple dedication today.
Sat 22 *I am thankful that so many people were willing to take the time to make it to the Corvallis reunion I organized. It was good to see so many friends.
Fri 21 *I am thankful I was able to be in the temple tonight with Kent, members of the ward, Elder Scott, and Mariel's aunt and uncle. It was so nice to spend time there.
Thur 20 *I am thankful I was able to get a cute shirt at a good price for work.
Wed 19 *I am thankful for my wonderful son and his laughter. There is nothing like making your child laugh to help you remember what is important in your life.
Tue 18 *I am thankful for a good talk with my neighbor tonight. It had been far too long since we sat down and just talked.
Mon 17 *I am thankful that I have had such a productive day. I am thankful to have discovered how wonderful it is to run at Murray Park. I am also thankful to have a clean house and determination to work harder to keep it that way.
Sun 16 *I am thankful for Sundays. I love the peace and joy that comes from attending sacrament meeting when the spirit is so strong. I am also thankful Kent was able to get Braxton to wear new church pants without a fight because they were the same color as his old ones.
Sat 15 *I am thankful to have woke up to a beautiful thunder storm this morning. I am also thankful for the opportunity to attend a reunion for my grandpa's brothers and sisters families. It is such a blessing to learn more of the stories of my family and their lives. I especially like to learn more about my grandpa.
Fri 14 *I am thankful for a wonderful husband who was happy to come home from trek and spend time with Braxton and I. I am thankful that we were able to go shopping for church pants for Braxton and found some that will work.
Thur 13 *I am thankful for the opportunity to serve my cousin while she is in need. I am also thankful for the Lord's quick answers to prayer through inspiration.

Mon 10 *I am thankful for a husband who knows what to say to help me feel validated and also what to say to help bring me back to reality.

Sat 8 *I am thankful to have jars full of jam and apricot juice.
Fri 7 *I am thankful for two beautiful days with amazing weather. I was blessed to stand in a warm breeze while it picked up water from the sprinkler yesterday and cooled me down well. I am thankful today that it was just the nicest fall like warm weather and it was enjoyed and appreciated.
Thur 6 *I am so very thankful to have been blessed with three boxes of apricots. I am also thankful Kent & Braxton were able to help me turn the largest box into apricot juice.
Wed 5 *I am thankful that I was able to come up with a clever way to get Braxton in and out of a grocery cart since I am not supposed to lift him.
Tue 4 *I am thankful for a wonderful husband who came home and gave me the most sincere 'Do you know I love you.' He then went for a walk with us and it was so nice to spend time with him!
