#180: I am grateful for Brenley's beautiful spirit and her charitable attitude about the trials that her Dad faces in his life.
#181: I am grateful for Stacie's entertaining moment on July 5th when she was getting ready to go out to dinner with us. I was secretly watching her in the bathroom as she was getting ready. She had just taken off her shirt and was standing in her pink polka-dotted pants. Her little chubby legs were squeezed together tightly as she was working hard to apply her Aunt Brenley's deodorant under each arm. She is part of the "Thomas Girl Gang" and is up for playing the part. You go girl.
#182: I am grateful for Darrin and how he gives me space to get over the things that upset me. Silence is golden.
#183: I am grateful for my mind and that I get excited to think about new ideas.
#184: I am thankful for the open relationship that Chelsea and I have. I love our candid visits and how she always checks her pride at the door when she is talking about her relationships with others. She always searches for her own weaknesses first. She is just like her Dad. Great judges in Israel.
#185: I am thankful for organizational skills taught to me by my Mother. Life is so much easier when I am in the habit of putting things away after I am finished with them. Everything has a designated place and is returned to that place and I get rid of what I don't need or use, and keep things clean. It took me my whole life to learn this, but I am grateful for my Mom's example.
#186: I am grateful that Emily hugs Noni. She has a special way with her.
#187: I am grateful for Tyler and Heather's graciousness when we were late for Landon's birthday party (late as in showed up at the end).
#188: I am grateful for the joy that Stacie brings Brenley.
#189: I am grateful for the fun we had in the swimming pool with Holli telling stupid riddles: for example, "What color is George Washington's white horse?"
#190: I am grateful for the chance I had to substitute in primary today. The children were very much in tune with spirit. One girl actually raised her hand to tell the story that was written in the lesson manual about Elder Kikuchi before I had a chance to tell it. Apparently, her Dad had recently told her the story. Cool stuff.
#190: I am grateful for my brother Chris, on his birthday, and how he takes care of his wife.
#191: I am grateful for Landon on us birthday. He has a great spirit and makes people feel good about themselves when he is with them.
#192: I am grateful for the testimonies I heard today. Especially the one that was about families and how important it is to feel a part of a family.
#193: I am grateful for the backyard path leading to the pool. The design is spiffy and fun to walk on.
#194: I am grateful that Noni is happier today.
#195: I am grateful for the Doctors that have helped our family: my Mom's cancer Doctors, Noni's neurologists, Sean's Dr's, my obstetricians, especially Dr. Northup, my foot Dr., my grand children's obstetricians, Blayze's Brain Dr., Andy's Dr.s, My Grandma Ruth's Dr.s, Braxton's Dr.'s and Surgeons, And Brenley's Fertility specialist. These special people have served our family.
#196: I am grateful for the kiss Stacie gave me. It seems we have a mutual bond of liking lipgloss. We are friends now.
#197: I am grateful for the chance I had to watch the monsoon last night with Emily, and Chelsea. It is one of my top favorite things to do.
#198: I am grateful that Brenley will be editing my texts, because that Dr. One above is going to need some work.
#199: I am so grateful that Holli is not throwing up anymore. This will be so much better for the baby.
#200: I am grateful that Darrin will get a break from the female hormones by going to football camp this week. I hope that I will be able to serve myself, do the pool, get the mail, take out the garbage, and keep all the girls happy while he is away. Presley is especially going to miss him.
Yeah! BEAD #2!!!!! (Your right about the exclamation marks Heather. They are empowering!)
