So we had our first visit with our girls (young single adult ladies) and it went very well. It was her first time ever visiting teaching and she took control of the situation! It was great!
Firstly I didn't have a lesson prepared because I gave a talk that same day (on gratitude...you know, Thanksgiving and all). So she started the lesson by just a getting to know each other introducing ourselves kind of thing and then we talked about gratitude. She then suggested we keep a gratitude journal.
We all promised to try our hardest to write down every day five things we are thankful for until our next visit next month. SO here is my list for today:
I am grateful for:
1. My band, Without The Fall. I really enjoy our band practices - whereas before I tried my best to avoid them - but we have come up with a really efficient, enjoyable process of writing and playing some pretty swickedly awesome songs.
2. A washer and a dryer within my own house. In my old house I had to go to the laundromat and it was just a huge burden. Now I have these appliances and it is a huge blessing.
3. My roommate Breanne. Since Arianne moved out, she has replaced the lack of someone to talk to when Burns isn't around. And not to mention I get to borrow her clothes..just like I got to borrow Arianne's. Oh and she loves Kobe which is really nice. :D
4. Burns' incredible musical capabilities! Without him, our band would be mediocre. With him it ROCKS!!!
5. A heated home. Right now it is freezing! Especially with winter just around the corner, I can't imagine being homeless. Soooo sooo grateful for heat.
And just in case you're wondering why I was so thankful for the band in this post...we just had a practice this morning and all our songs are stuck in my head. So I just have band on the mind.
Remembering all the blessings you have in your life can help to make your life not suck as much.
