A wise person once said, "a thankful heart is a happy heart". I am on a quest to see if this is true. Looking back on the last few years I realize I have had quite a few strange and major adventures. I lived in China and with only 6 weeks left of my volunteer service my group had to flee the country. Coming home I decided to move to "Cougar Land" where I made new friends, went to UVU, and had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life. I started my mission papers and got a call to the Taipei Taiwan Mission and at the same time I started dating the love of my life. Deciding between a mission or to marry my one and only was heartbreaking but ultimately I know 100% that I made the right choice.
So, between all my crazy life changes and my new married life changes it is safe to say that I am stressed and slightly depressed. Depression runs in my family. I guess it was only a matter of time before symptoms started to show themselves. Which brings me to why I am starting this blog. Instead of medications and doctor visits I want to try something else. A letter a day for one whole year. I will write to those I am thankful for. Don't be offended if I don't write to you or you're not first. Remember there are 365 in 2011! I'm not sure I know that many people.
It is now January 3rd and I am a few letters behind. This will happen more than once, I am not perfect :) but, I promise by December 31, 2011 I will have written 365 thank yous.
