I love this season. I love Thanksgiving - everything about it. I love the Thanksgiving meal, I love to be with family, I just love Thanksgiving. I remember this past conference, President Erying's talk on how every night he would write something down that happened that day and the more he wrote, the more gratitude would fill in his heart. And, I just thought to myself, I don't write down enough of what I am grateful for, or the wonderful blessings that come into my life. This morning on my way to work, there was a severely handicap man on his scooter riding down the side walk on Highland drive. He had crashed his scooter and was stuck - and there was nothing he could do. By the time I drove by, I noticed 3 or 4 cars pulled over helping him. I don't know why it hit me so hard to see these people so willing to help - but it did. I was so touched that so many people stopped to help this man. I am sure these people had places to be, but it was as if they didn't even hesitate to stop and help. I am grateful for people like that! And, I am sure that handicap man, and his family are grateful for people who are willing to help. Anyway, here is a small list of the things I am grateful for....I am sure I will be adding to this list as it gets closer to Thanksgiving!...

What about your dog Cooper, and mexican food, and your Altima. You forgot those.
Why did you have to bring up Cooper?! But you are right, I forgot about the Altima and Mexican Food :)
