Pit

I played a new game tonight at our ward winter campout. It's called pit. I'm thankful for the opportunity to try something new. I'm thankful for the people I got to know a little better while we played. I'm thankful for the good times and the crazy amount of laughter. 

The University of Utah student section

I haven't done a very good job of taking advantage of all the perks of being a student.  But tonight I did go to the U of U Mens Basketball game. I got in for free and so did my guest. I'm thankful for a fun, free outing! I'm thankful we got to sit in the student section. It was loud and obnoxious and really fun! 

Extra physical therapy

Today was a long day. After many hours of budgets and meetings and fighting fires (not literally) at work, I had to go straight to physical therapy. I love physical therapy! Well...at least I love the people there. By the time I got there today I was tired and had a big headache (undoubtedly from staring at numbers on a computer all day)! My rockstar physical therapist said, "let's do some work on your neck and see if we can help your headache." Yes, please!! I'm so thankful so was willing to do that. I'm thankful it really did help my headache! 

Breakthroughs

I am thankful for tender mercies! They are all around, we just have to look for them! Today I'm thankful for quite a few tender mercies that came in the form of breakthroughs. I had three very important, very good conversations at work. These conversations are at least a step in the right directions on an issue I have been massively struggling with for a few weeks. It never ceases to amaze me how our Heavenly Father is aware of us and what we need. Today I really needed those breakthroughs. 

A free Monday night

I've had a Monday night class since September! I have the occasional Monday off for holidays and such, but tonight my class was canceled. I'm thankful for some extra time off. It's been a crazy couple days and I'm thankful I got to spend some quiet time at home instead of being at school late tonight. 

Humor

Today was a rough day. It was hard to find things to be thankful for. But I reviewed the day, I decided I'm thankful for humor - even if I happened to find humor in unfortunate circumstances today. Sometimes that's the only way to deal with unfortunate things - find the humor and plow through. I'm thankful for the snippets if laughter today. 

Ted Talks

I don't know how I lived almost 30 years without being introduced to Ted Talks! This semester I've had to watch a few for homework. They're always so intriguing and inspiring. I need to do a little bit more research on Ted Talks in general (find out where they're recording, what the requirements are to give one, etc.). And I need to figure out how to find more that interest me. I'm always thankful for a little bit of inspiration.
