A few weeks ago our pastor preached about the same topic: being thankful in all things. Then, last night in the devotional book that Ryan and I are reading the author spoke about giving thanks and how the opposite of giving thanks is grumbling and complaining. It's been good to pause and think about all the good gifts I've been given. And by giving thanks in all things, I hope to begin to train myself to be thankful for even the things that don't seem good at the time. And to give back in response to all I have been given. Gratitude.

We're heading in to town in a bit to mail my National Boards portfolio. All 134 pages of it. I'm thankful to have finished that up too. We have a lot more planned for the rest of the week and I'm hoping to just soak it all up.

I started that book when I was there and really got alot from it. I can't agree more, that we need to look for things to be thankful for whatever the circumstances. Teri
