you know what makes me feel really grateful?

• going outside to eat lunch (80 degree weather, holla!) and it being recess time for the deaf school right next to my building.  Every couple of seconds, the group of 6-year olds would stop chasing each other/running around and sign things, run around again, pause to sign something else, and run around again.  It was so sweet.
• passing a car accident on the way to work.
• reading a book about homeless youth in America.  
• people who take the time to talk and listen.
• General Conference this past weekend.
• having a healthy body that allows me to work off the 4(!!!) homemade cinnamon rolls consumed this past weekend.
• colorful sunsets.
• kneeling in prayer with Ben.
• getting a "just checking in to see how you're doing!" text.
• sippin' smoothies and talking about goals.
