I don't know what I did to deserve the life I have been given:) I want to say thanks to all of you who who have been so supportive and who have helped me learn and grow and find the joy that we are all searching for in this life:) and I am so grateful to be here on a mission to help others find this everlasting joy as well!

“The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life those who live in thanksgiving daily, however, have a way of opening their eyes and seeing the wonders and beauties of this world as though seeing them for the first time.
I encourage you to look around you. Notice the people you care about. Notice the fragrance of the flowers and the song of the birds. Notice and give thanks for the blue of the sky, the color of the leaves, and the white of the clouds. Enjoy every sight, every smell, every taste, every sound.
Be grateful. Every day is a new canvas—a new opportunity. Our beloved President Gordon B. Hinckley has said: “My plea is that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life, we ‘accentuate the positive.’ I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort”
BEING GRATEFUL = BEING HAPPY
