Be Grateful

I think I've been feeling a little sorry for myself lately.  I sometimes hate running and I hate that I continue to struggle every morning.  Last night my husband prepared a wonderful family home evening.  It was about being grateful and how we need to express it everyday.  He gave all the kids gratitude journals and asked them to write down 5 things they are thankful for everyday.  He talked about how that will help us to be more grateful and mindful of all of our blessings.  He showed us a mormon message youtube video about a women named Stephanie Neilsen.  She was burned on over 80% of her body.  She bloggs every day about the trials she goes through and how grateful she is for these trials.  It is beautiful!  It has made me thankful that I have a body that can run.  It has inspired me beyond anything I can imagine.  I am better from her inspiring words.  I can go on!  I can do this!
Check out the youtube video.  It is called My New Life
