Grateful For ...

      Okay, so maybe this is a bit of an odd post, but for some reason I could not think of anything to share as clearly as this very thought of "Grateful for . . . ,so I am going to do just that! So bear with me, okay?

     I am grateful for each and every one of you who take the time to read my posts! I am grateful that I have been blessed with the ability to share my thoughts and feelings with others, especially in the written word. And, IF I have helped anyone in any way I am most grateful for that as well!!

     I am grateful for the many experiences I have had in my life! The good ones are always something to be grateful for, but the less good ones, the downright difficult and hard ones are usually not appreciated as much. And yet, I am grateful for what I  have learned from them and continue to learn from them.

     I am grateful for so many people who have had an influence in my life. And that would include anyone who I have ever met. Again, those who have been a positive and uplifting influence in my life I am always so grateful for! And again, those who have NOT been such a good and positive influence, I am still grateful for what they have taught me to avoid and/or to overcome!

     I am so grateful that I can learn so many things, in so many ways, from so many people and experiences in life that allow me the choice of what kind of person I want to be.

     And I am so very grateful to our Heavenly Parents and our beloved Savior, Jesus Christ, for planning all of this beautiful world for us to be able to have experiences that allow us to choose what we truly want to be here and now and on into eternity!!!

     Yes, I am truly grateful for . . .
