Grateful Project 365

I sucked at keeping a journal, but with this brand new year, I am determined to start a happy/grateful project to record the simple things that makes me happy, or the kind gesture I received or provided to the people I interacted with.  Seven days has gone by, so tracing back to Jan 1 could be a little tricky. Here we go:

1/1 (Fri)

Grateful for the opportunity to play for Bro. McCuxx's funeral yesterday.  He was a quiet man with lots of integrity.  Many good memories were shared, and I guess this is what we all strive for in the end of life.  Not how successful we are with our career, but what good we left behind.  We sure will miss him.

Happiness is when I got the text that Jeannie is back to Provo safe and sound.  I was really worried about the snow and ice on the ground, but the roads were clear when as Arayxx drove her home.

Grateful for the friends who thought of us and invited us to a dinner/karoke gathering for the New Year.

1/2 (Sat)

Grateful for the missionaries who came to our house for dinner and uplift us with their message.  I could feel how happy they are while serving a mission. 

Thankful that we were able to provide a place for Evan and his friends to party.. though I disapproved and rolled my eyes when I saw them throwing ping pong balls into the plastic cups filled with soda.  

1/3 (Sun)

Grateful for Sarah's effort in preparing and presenting the 2015 RS end of year video.  The pictures of the individual sisters and group made me realize how unique we are and how much we needed each other -- to lean on and thrive in the gospel. 

1/4 (Mon)

So happy that I got some cool stuff, made it to the post office, and mailed out the birthday package to Jeannie before 4pm (the mail lady said the package should be there by Thursday.  And I finally nailed at a post from pinterest... the melting snowman is not that difficult to reproduce.  

Grateful that I passed the ISA test from LLS!  Waiting for the next big step!

1/5 (Tue)

Glad that Jady and I got to spent 1/2 hour playing with the keyboard/sythesizers/workstation at SamAxx after her violin lesson.  What a great way to help her realize that everyone can create music. Playing/practicing instrument is fun and never should be a drag.

Such a relieve to hear that there is yet another option to work for the company.  I was pretty worried that my hours would leave me without much flexibility but Teresa told me that I could sign in as a freelancer and work whenever I want.  I was thrilled to hear about the opportunity.  The Lord knows me and probably laughs at a commitment runner like me. 

1/6 (Wed) 

Thankful for the sweet postman who closed my PO box account without putting a charge on my late payment and one missing key.  Don't think I would ever receive the same treatment had it been a different person at the office.

Grateful for the little candy treat Ana Garxx gave me on my way out to the chapel last night.  She was such a great friend and sister.  I love her sweet family!
