GRATITIUDE

Bright and early this morning, my Alarm went off. TIME FOR GYM! I brushed my teeth, put on my gym clothes, went downstairs to the kitchen to fill up my water bottle, when something bright and yellow caught my eye. I filled up my water bottle and turned around only to find a bright yellow flowers in vase sitting on the table. I rub my eyes. Am i imaging? No. I'm not. There lay a card with it, I opened the card, to find James handwriting. *sigh* How thoughtful. He wrote about how great of a wife i was "all around" and how I much meant I to him. *melt my heart*!!!!

This really opened my eyes. These last few months, have been somewhat of a struggle for multiple reasons. Being somewhat newly married, and trying, to save money, and decide career and school can be very difficult. Not to mention entering adult hood, working FULL TIME, paying bills, and finding out that most of my high school friends have gone on missions, moved away to school, or get this--- have KIDS of there own and dont have as much time to play has been quite the adjustment! I think during this time period i started to form a belief-- Life just gets worse.. the older you get.

But recently, Life has changed dramatically! Like this morning, I have been pleasantly surprised with the thoughtfulness of someone else giving me more than i probably deserve. (My Father in Heaven). My life has changed, like i never would have imagined. I have this awesome husband who goes out of his way to buy me flowers--FOR NO REASON! Ive got use to working(for the most part) and paying bills--(ok ok thats still hard!.but its easier.) and Ive actually come to make new friends in my ward and at the gym who have been nothing but so kind, and loving of me. They also have sent me texts, phone calls, and even invitations to go do things! I am so grateful, to actually be ME, and im so grateful that Heavenly Father is mindful of me. I guess i was wrong about life. It doesn't get worse, it gets better! God truly has blessed me, and just like the flowers sitting on my kitchen table... My Life is BEAUTIFUL.
