Five things that are making me happy

This week I've been in something of a funk. Nothing big... just, you know, not in the mood to take a shower (don't worry, I overcame). When times such as these come my way, I'm convinced a dose of gratitude always does the trick. Here's my list for the week:

1. The wonder of ceiling fans. Nothing cuter than a little man laying belly down on the carpet with his neck cranked to watch those spokes go round and round.
2. Wedding announcements magnetized to my fridge. Ah the beauty of new love. Makes my heart happy.
3. Corn packs. A few years ago my mom made mass quantities of corn packs (you know, the ones you heat in the microwave and snuggle with on long winter spring nights?). I don't think I could live without mine. 
4. The internet. Keeps a stir-crazy mama at bay.
5. Living prophets. Really, I think Conference was made for me this time around. Perhaps moreso than ever before. That's saying a lot.
6. Oh, and for an extra: my parents coming to see us tomorrow. I've been counting the days! Less than one to go...

So anyway, life is good around these parts. Even if I wish it were warm (or just less windy) enough to go for a walk. Or that Raymond's teeth would all make their debuts and leave nap-time in peace. But really, can't complain because I could make a list five times this long and still have things to be grateful for. Sometimes I think Thanksgiving should be in the spring. Its hard not to be grateful when new life is budding all around you, you know?
