Some of my blessings! :)

So today I have been thinking a lot. Granted I do that everyday, but today I have been thinking a lot about positive things and positivity. Maybe its because of my positive psychology class, or maybe I'm just finally understanding some truths, but I have been thinking a lot about being happy and being gratefull. I have so many blessings in my life and I unfortunatley take most of them for granted. I have a wonderful family whom I love and who loves me! I have a wonderful Heavenly Father who gives me trials to make me a better person! I have a Savior who lived his life so that I could make it back to live with my Heavenly Parents and family, despite all of my shortcommings. I have a Father who, while dead, is still alive and is still very much a part of me and my daily life. I have a wonderful Mother who puts up with all of my frustrations and complaining. I have a great sister who is one of my best friends. I have so many great friends who support me and we still love each other even though separated by distance, time, or lifes commings and goings. I have a great exteneded family who are very close and dear to my heart. I have a job that covers my expenses, I have a place to live with a ceiling, walls around me, and a floor that is not made of dirt. I am able to go to a university to gain an education! I have goals that I am working to achieve, and I have direction and purpose to my life. (even though sometimes I don't know what that is!) I have a body that is healthy and lets me do the things that I want to do. I have a strong mind that can overcome any obstacle. I have a great network of people in my life! I have great thoughts and great books to read that help me to see how happy life really is, and how blessed I really am! And so, I would ask this one question to you: Do you know how blessed you are?
