I am grateful for the many Mothers that I know that have influenced me in so many countless ways possible.
The more and more times I have alone with my Mother-in-law, I have been so grateful for being able to be teachable because I know that from how Chris is today, he is who he is because of his mother's teachings and from many other experiences he's had and anything he learned from his Dad.
I cannot begin to tell you everything about that woman but because of the work that she's done and still is doing for those who have passed is something phenomenal that she's able to allow me to grasp the concepts of history. I've learned to love America's history through Chris and his mother.
I'm grateful for the promised blessings from my Savior and by choosing to do the right things in life I know that I will be able to gain those blessings. I am grateful for my future husband for the continuous hardwork that he puts in his career and the faith that he has to kneel in prayer each night with me as we approach our upcoming wedding.
Each time, I question myself whether or not to do a certain thing, Chris has been telling me, "Pray about it." But I knew something else had to be done more than just say my prayers at night and when I awake each morning. So, yesterday, I woke up and said a little prayer and asked Heavenly Father to really help me find the answers to my prayers... And as I said Amen, it came to me.. Read your Patriarchal Blessing.
When was the last time you read your Patriarchal Blessing? Have you realized that some of the answers you needed was in that Blessing. These are promised blessings from our Father in Heaven that are given to us to be able to overcome the storms of life and to be able to look forward for whatever may come next in our lives.
Every single day is not guaranteed. You live each day like it's your last. Start counting your blessings and STOP procrastinating. I'm grateful for my instructor for helping me realize this part of my life. I am grateful for his teachings and being able to teach him new things as well. I think for the most part, if you're not willing to be teachable, it's really hard to get inspired or simply just understand the concepts of life. I've been living on my own since the Summer of 2009 and I am so so grateful for the knowledge gained from being able to do things on my own, for the spiritual knowledge I gained from school and my faith, and for the knowledge I've gained through my career today and my future career. I love to learn new things and I love to challenge myself to do more things at once and I'm grateful to be able to have the freedom to make my own decisions because I wouldn't be the strong individual I am today if I didn't fully "jump in the deep end and swam in the pool.

I had a neat experience today in Class when I was able to teach my instructor and my colleagues about the Deaf Community because it has taught me a lot just by working as a Communications Assistant. I am grateful for my job today and the effectiveness of the teachings from my classes for my future career!!
Happy Girl = Happy Day!
I am grateful for all the blessings I've been able to receive in such a short time in my life to be able to make it through the storms of life. Our Savior doesn't give us the trials and struggles if he knew we wouldn't be able to make it. Do your best and He will handle the rest!
33 Days Left. The Church is True and I know my Savior loves me and he lives!
Love,
Trish
