1) I'm thankful to have the ability to telecommute when my family has extra need of me at home.
2) I'm thankful for whoever it was that gave my wife and I the concept of making sure we have date night every week in order to keep our marriage strong. We've seen several friends and neighbors struggling with their marriages recently, and we're grateful that we continue to try to work hard at making our marriage great.
3) I'm thankful for babysitters that allow us to be able to go on a date and be comfortable that our children will be well cared for in our absence.

1) I'm thankful for modern medicine and food preparation techniques. Our health is better than that of our ancestors, though with all of the additives we have available, we still need to make good choices to take advantage of this.
2) I'm thankful for good friends and neighbors who provide support and love that family members sometimes can't, no matter how hard they might try.
3) I'm thankful for indoor plumbing, especially in the winter!

1) I'm thankful to know the gospel of Jesus Christ. It has helped me every day of my life, some days so much that it's the only way I've made it through.
2) I'm thankful for the education I've received and the educational opportunities I continue to have. The internet has really made the spread of knowledge far greater than it ever has been before.
3) It makes me happy that my 5 year old daughter likes to try to get up before I leave for work around 7:00 am to make sure she gets a chance to see me and have me help her get some breakfast.
4) It makes me happy that my 2 year old son called me yesterday while I still had over 30 minutes to drive to get home, and when he found out I was on my way, he told me that he would go watch for me out the window. He didn't grasp the concept of it being half an hour until I got home. While he wasn't at the window when I pulled up, he is always very excited to see me when I get home, and he runs up to me shouting "Daddy! Daddy home!" and gives me a big hug.

15 March 2010
I have been pretty grumpy recently. I was reminded of hearing that many people can have a positive change in attitude if they keep a happiness journal or thankfulness journal, so I am going to try to write down at least 3 things each day (at least, each day that I'm online) that make me happy or thankful.
1) I'm happy to be married to a woman who loves me as much as she does despite knowing me as well as she does.
2) I'm happy to have a job that not only helps me take care of my family, but is actually a good paying job, especially during this economic downturn.
3) I'm happy that my high deductible insurance plan includes prescription coverage so that once that deductible was met, the prescriptions as well as the doctor visits for the rest of the year are covered.
4) I'm happy that, ever since my car went through a state inspection and tune up and the tires inflated to 37 psi instead of the 32 they had been at, my gas mileage has been over 40 mpg again.
