What is thankful in?

Hello and welcome to my new blog! This will cover my life (I find I blog before I journal so this is my public journal), and more importantly the blessings in my life. The title of this blog comes from a talk given by President Uchtdorf (a member of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). In it he talks about rather than being thankful for things, we should be thankful in our circumstances. So welcome to "Thankful In." (By the way the talk in INCREDIBLE and here is the link!)

I don't want to go into my circumstances, because that's not the point of this blog. I do, however, want to talk about my blessings. I will post AT LEAST five things each day. I will try not to double up.

1) I am condo shopping and it's really fun. I have yet to secure lending (I have no worries about securing it), but it's fun to look at places that could be MINE and my home. I have pictures I'm planning to put up (of Christ, temples, and family), and I have space I'm going to fill with treasures from Argentina (my LDS mission) and Japan (where I taught English for a year).
2) I'm finding it very easy to keep all my fitness goals. It's nice to know so much about fitness and be able to apply it to my own life without outside judgment.
3) I am filling out the paperwork for my dream job tomorrow. :D!
4) I had homemade cheesecake tonight. Now, Japan is superior to the US in almost all desserts. However, in cheesecake they (IMO) fell short. It was lovely to have that amazing treat (made by my amazing mum).
5) My friends I made in Japan are still in contact with me. I have received many emails and that means a lot to me to have their support and love though now I am much farther away than I was before.

Today: Emmett came over to have Easter dinner with us (Angèle's SO), and it was nice. We chatted and just had family time. Church was nice (though taking an allergy pill has been making me drowsy, lol). I am looking forward to the week and seeing the blessing and miracles that have been prepared for me.

I'd like to end with a polish blessing for you:

May your hand be outstretched to all you meet.
And may all men say 'Brother' when they speak of you.
May the land be fertile beneath your feet.
May your days be gentle as the sun-kissed dew.
