Basking in 78 degree weather...

In case you were wondering, there is an 80 DEGREE DIFFERENCE between where I am in Florida and where I will be going back this Friday (it's 2 degrees in Rexburg!).  Boy, am I glad to be home.  And the weather is supposed to be much better on the day I get back!  I believe in miracles!

Anyway, at this very moment, it is THANKSGIVING DAY!  So here's my list of what I'm thankful for.  First off, I must say that there is no way that I could write everything, and there are so many blessings that I may not even recognize in my life, but I recognize that my Heavenly Father's hand is in everything.

I am thankful for:

Very first and foremost, my Heavenly Father and the plan He has for me.  Boy, do I live the good life when I follow His plan!
Jesus Christ, my Mediator and Best Friend.  I am so thankful for all He's done for me to provide a way to fix my mistakes
A wonderful family

I could go on forever!  All in all, I am so thankful to be ALIVE.  I'm thankful for the opportunity to progress in life and become a better person.  I'm grateful for the chances I get to help other people and help them along their own journey towards Happiness.

Words can't express how much gratitude I have for all that I have in my life.  God is good!

I LOVE fall leaves!
