Yesterday was Thursday, yet again. I really do look forward to Thursday every week and this week was even better because I got about double the people participating in this week's Thankful Thursday, it was so great!!!
This past week I am thankful for: people who make me laugh, people who are patient and understanding, music...yet again :o), a nice warm coat, a good comfy blanket, promptings from the Holy Ghost, the ability to walk and run, hugs that seem to make everything better, the scriptures, mindfulness, being able to let go of past hurts and shortcomings because of the Atonement, my amazing friends, weekly devotional, my Grandma, my manager for helping me when I was locked out of my apartment, that I attend a university where we begin each class with prayer and talk about the gospel and invite the Holy Ghost every day in every class, and the feeling you get after going running in the morning.
