Part IV of IV

What am I grateful for?

I'm grateful for: my sweet little home, for food a plenty and clothing and cars. I’m grateful for Jared’s job, running water, a refrigerator and an oven. I’m grateful that I’m alive and well and moving, and that I can dance around and twirl with Morgan in my arms. I’m grateful for pretty things: dresses, shoes, the pearl ring I got from Jared for Christmas two years ago. I’m grateful for shared recipes. I’m grateful for those who inspire and share with the world. I’m grateful for friends. For neighbors close by. I’m grateful I am never ever alone. I’m grateful for pictures and home videos. I’m grateful for my memory. For temples. For the gospel. For Joseph Smith. For the pioneers and all those who paved the way for us to have the truth.
I’m grateful for Jared’s mission. I’m grateful for Jared.
I’m grateful for motherhood, for parenthood. For mothers, and parents.
And for my little Mister Morgan Man, my hunkle, and how life is forever changed because of him.
