Happy Thanksgiving!! I have SO much to be thankful for and absolutely LOVE that we have a whole day dedicated to think about all of our blessings!

The Divine Gift of Gratitude by Thomas S. Monson 

I have a challenge for each of you! Sit down tonight or whenever you have a minute (I know you all are so busy with family and friends right now) and just write down your blessings. Write down what you are most thankful for in your life right now. I can promise you, that once you take the time to truly think about your blessings…you will not be able to help, but be HAPPY.
