Gratitude

Today was a hard day, being alone with no one to talk to.  I started to get negative about being here in Logan and I really wanted to go home. So I made a list of what I am grateful for here in Utah. I'm sure the list will grow, but it definitely helped me tonight to see the small blessings in my life right now.


Things to be grateful for in the next 4 months living in Logan
My own room/bathroom
Storage space
A window that I can see the sunset from
Cell phone
Old friends who call/make an effort to see me
A welcoming and friendly RS president
The Gospel
Scriptures
The temple
My car
The steps going up Old Main that I climb every day—that way I don’t have to find a gym!
Kind people at work
Kids at work
Snack time at work with the kids
Vents in my room so I can hear what is going on downstairs
A fan to block out the noise that comes through the vent at night…
A lock on my door
Soft blankets
Gossners Cheese Factory (fantastic Root Beer Milk!)
Aggie Ice Cream
Knowing it's just a 2 1/2 hour drive home if needed.

  2. It is always a bit challenging to adjust to a new place, meet new people, and establish new routines. Just remember that you are a totally awesome, amazing, fun, outgoing, and cute gal that people just haven't gotten to know yet. Once they do, they will LOVE YOU, just like I do! :) Here's some advice: Make sure you don't hide in your room. Go to the kitchen and make some of your delicious treats. That will make everyone happy and start conversations. Keep smiling! You are beautiful inside and out!
