1. Clutter-Until it is all gone I am thankful that I have a "busy task" at home. It makes me feel useful getting rid of all the clutter at home. No one else wants to do it so as long as it is there I know my family will definitely want me around!

2. Frozen Meals-I LOVE my meal group. It is so nice to go once a month and exchange frozen homemade meals with the other girls. They have been saving my life lately as I am still trying to adjust to working part time. It sure does cut down on the eating out expense!

3. Diet Dr. Pepper-I don't always have to have one but on those days.....lets just say I am glad to have something to help me be happy!

1. Jack Frost-This time of year can be so miserable and cold. I sometimes sink into the doldrums and forget that there is so much around me that is beautiful and wonderful. As I was driving into town this week I looked around me and I noticed how beautiful the trees are with all the frost making them white and sparkly. It reminded me of a conversation I had with Lexi a couple of weeks ago when she noticed the frosty trees. Lexi was so cute when she told me Jack Frost had visited Smithfield that morning because he had breathed on all the trees and made them sparkle. I loved the assurance in her voice that she knew exactly why it was cold and beautiful out at the same time. Thank you Jack Frost for giving us something beautiful to look at.

2.A Plan-I really enjoy when I have a plan and I see it to fruition. I find myself constantly wanting to get things done but than falling short of my goal. I am not going to think of those times (or try not to anyway) and be extremely thankful for the times everything goes according to plan.
