Great Scotts!

These ARE things I am grateful for but they are also three very exciting and fabulous things that happened to me today!

1. I am going to RASCAL FLATTS! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO! And to top it off, it is a true, bona fide date with Justin!!
2. I found my wedding ring.
3. There is a hospital funded pizza party tonight at work that I was reminded of when I arrived at work and I was so angry at myself driving up here because I forgot my wallet and didn't know what I was going to do for dinner. Problem solved.

Mary Anne said...: Thanks for your comment on my blog! I love reading all that you are grateful for on here. I've recently gotten back into keeping a gratitude journal and it is usually the hilight of my day to write in it and review it.; January 18, 2009 at 11:57 PM

"You may think you don't have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.What you create doesn't have to be perfect. Don't let fear of failure discourage you. Don't let the voice of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside. As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you.I believe that as you create beauty and as you are compassionate to others—God will encircle you in the arms of His love. Discouragement, inadequacy, and weariness will give way to a life of meaning, grace, and fulfillment." - Deiter F. Uchtdorf
