Blessings

For the past couple days I have been very down and depressed. I sat down in church today, feeling like there was a gaping hole in my chest and I just thought... "I'm sick of this." I then got the idea to come home and write down an extensive list of all my blessings and the things I'm grateful for. Just thinking of doing it started to make me feel better. So yea... here it is

• A sturdy house
• Heating/Air Conditioning
• A job
• stuffed animals
• my dogs
• Big fluffy clouds against a bright blue sky
• All the colors of nature
• The mountains
• My family
• sushi
• My religion
• The Book of Mormon
• My country
• Soldiers
• the smell of freshly-cut grass
• Fresh fruits/vegetables
