365 gratitude day 185

Today I'm grateful that I took the time to slow down and smell the roses. ... literally, the kids and I took a walk to the store to pick up my perception, and had a wait, so we looked at the flowers and smelled all the different ones. It was a good moment we all had together.

I had a bad headache tonight. I'm grateful that Jonathan took over, and that it didn't start to get bad till he came home.

I told myself that I was going to get some real cleaning done. I was going to push myself.
Last night I prayed for help with motivation today, I prayed that I would have the energy to push through my fatigue and get some stuff done (I have been exhausted the last few weeks). Well I got on my hands and knees and mopped our floors today! I'm grateful for the extra help. Heavenly Father really can help in every aspect of our lives.

I'm grateful that a sweet lady in my ward offered an essential oil blend that actually worked on Cambria's bug bits! She got eaten alive on Saturday, and has been miserable ever since! She has about 13 bits on her legs and 3 on one elbow... Ouch! In so grateful that she isn't as miserable.

All other snarky, cranky, defiant sides of her are her raging toddlerhood-ness, and will probably pass. It was good to remember that deep down she is a wonderful person to be around, it is just hard for her to control all the things she feels inside her body.

... Let's be honest here, I'm still working on controlling all the thing I feel inside too ;)

I'm grateful that we got to spend time at a lake. It was a beautiful day and we had fun together.

I'm grateful for the perfect weather we had today. We spent a while outside today and every time I started thinking it was getting too hot, the clouds would cover the sun and the cool breeze would pick up. It was perfect
