One of my favorite General Conference Talks this session was President Monson's talk on gratitude. I have reread it many times since I was there live and it just impresses me every time. And since it is a season of gratitude, I always like to write things that I am grateful for. These are my top things:
-The Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life
-Supportive Parents who love me and want to help me succeed
-A wonderful place to gain an education
-My friends and roommates
-Jesus Christ and the atonement
"We can lift ourselves and others as well when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues.... The grateful man sees so much in the world to be thankful for, and with him the good outweighs the evil. Love overpowers jealousy, and light drives darkness out of his life." President Thomas S. Monson
I am more excited this thanksgiving to go home and see my family than I have ever been before! Plus Provo is FREEZING! :) (but gorgeous)
