I have been having a really hard time with life in general lately and as I was sitting here at 4:30 AM because, once again, I could not sleep, I started thinking about all the things that were wrong in my life. I suddenly remembered who it was that wanted me to do that, and I don't like him (Satan). So I'm choosing to do the opposite because I like Him (God) and what he has given me. Here's my 4:30AM list, crazy as it may be:

a fluffy dog to cuddle with when I'm sad

Geese that run around in circle in their little swimming pools

Chickens that come running up to me when I call them by name, waiting to be picked up and hugged

Awesome boys who love me and support me

The gospel and the knowledge that there is a greater plan in all this mess we call life

Beautiful flowers, even some weeds are pretty!

Green grass, fluffy clouds, pretty yellow dandelions, silly plants that live even when I forget to water them, cars that run even though I don't understand why, Relief Society workers who call at the worst possible time for some reason and end up giving service to me, neighbors who spray my lawn for clover for me, husbands who work through the night to support us, silly goats who cannot be contained in their section of the yard, clean dishes, clean clothes, running water, laptops, HIGH SPEED INTERNET (anyone remember 14.4 modems? yeah, high speed is awesome!), wonderful parents, great brothers and sisters who I never talk to but I know love me, online friends, tithing, church, my testimony, salvation, repentance, baptism, the temples, and Jesus Christ.

Interesting, I suddenly feel much better. I'm even smiling for the first time in days. LOL. I hope you smiled while reading my list, I smiled while typing it.
