Today I am thankful for:
Basics
For the past year, as we've dealt with the realities of being unemployed, our family has had to pare down our expenses to the basics. As we've taken that approach with our finances, I've found myself doing the same in other areas of life & really examining what matters most to me. With each new thing we've done without, and the less we've had, I've realized just how little we really need. After all, it's a lot easier to be happy with what you have when there's less things to compete with, eh?
I feel like we've gained a priceless new perspective on life; all things considered, this has been an amazing growing experience for us. Somehow, I find myself being very thankful for this time we've had - so much great time with Daddy! - and very thankful for the things that I now know to be my BASICS:
Daddy
Emma & Adam
A home
Healthy food
Warm clothes
Family time, ours & extended
Good books
Music
Laughter
Scriptures & the gospel
Church
Friends
Date night with my sweetheart
Hugs & kisses
Communication (yes, that means phones & internet - nowadays, these things are a necessity!)
Prayer & the Spirit
A good night's sleep!
* and yes... Twilight. :D *
