I am feeling a lot of things today, but most of all, I am feeling grateful. I am so blessed. I believe I have the most amazing husband and children in the world. Each is a unique and diverse character with a personal and deep love for God and the gospel of Jesus Christ, which they express in a genuine manner--fitting of each character. These amazing individuals, who I am privileged to call my family and to have the opportunity to be with now and into the eternities, are my greatest gifts and loves. If I am anyone worthwhile, and I believe that I am, it is due in great part to their contributions, healing powers, and ability to transform me--under God's watchful care--from fragmented shards of a being into a whole and well person. The friends that have been placed in my path have continued that sense of a gathering of my true self, like a windstorm of sorts, each bringing a needed perspective and love at crucial points in my life. Oh, how I love and thank you for lifting and loving me. You have made my times of trial pass with so much less hurt and loneliness. Most of all, I am grateful for my Father in Heaven, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost--each of whom I am learning to trust and rely on more than ever before to guide and direct me in gentle, true, and patient ways, and who are essential in helping me to find my purpose and become who I am meant to be. I am blessed. I am loved. I am grateful.
