Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows, and the more power you have to use it on your behalf. If you do not practice gratefulness, its benefaction will go unnoticed, and your capacity to draw on its gifts will be diminished. To be grateful is to find blessings in everything, This is the most powerful attitude to adopt, for there are blessings in everything.

I'm SO ridiculously grateful for SO much in my life. And a few of these things I wanted to share for my blog followers. These things straight up make me smile. They give me a wicked case of Perma-Grin.
 |
| My Sister Finally got Dain to draw a picture of him and me. LOVE that little man, and will cherish this picture FOREVER. |
 |
| Tulips that Peter Sent me for Valentines Day. Or any flowers for that matter. :) |
 |
| More flowers from Peter. Although I have told him it is SO not necessary to get me flowers, they DO give me a Smile a Mile wide. So grateful for his desire to make me the happiest girl around. He is quite successful at it. |
 |
| No, moving of any kind does not make me happy. Or watching other people work. But after this weekend, Peter will have helped my Mom and Jack move for 3 weekends straight. I LOVE what a hard working, helpful, generous young man Peter is. Warm fuzzies and perma-grin. |
 |
| Big toothless giggles and grins. Doesn't get much better than that. So Grateful for my nephews and niece, and the love and happiness they radiate from every inch of their adorable little bodies. |
 |
| This mischievous, tough, adorable little girl. Her not so toothless grin, and her babbling. Can't wait for her to start actually making sense; and calling me 'Auntie Perfect'. ;) |
 |
| So grateful for little artists, the way he shouts my name when I enter their house, and his big bear hugs. |

Grateful for Valentines/Date nights with Peter. This is the gift I gave to him with the Riddle Game. We went to see the Wolves play the Mavs last Friday night. This is actually a picture of the TV when we got home and watched sports center. Look at the top right corner of the backboard, the person in black, leaning over to the person next to the aisle. Yea, that's us. :) Williams had a killer dunk that night, and the play was on the top ten.
An attitude of gratitude creates blessings.

Have a great weekend everyone. We will be going to Primetime in Burnsville tomorrow night to listen to some Johnny Holm Band; Going to Prescott to help my mom and Jack move some more on Saturday; and will be celebrating Nolan Jonathan's Baptism on Sunday (I will be a Godparent x3 now!). So we will have a jam packed and blessed weekend. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty excited to have this weekend off, and I will be enjoying me some coffee. Coffee also is something that gives me Perma-Grin. Not because of the caffeine, but just because I thoroughly enjoy the experience of slowly taking in and enjoying the morning. Till next time...be grateful, and be blessed.
