I am thankful

I am feeling a little uneasy... I'm not sure why. I want to feel peace in my heart and I want to be the happy, energetic Ana that I was a few years ago.
I am thankful that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. With this membership I am blessed  with friends that I would otherwise never meet. I am also blessed with a support group (I'm thankful that when I need help, if I'm sick, or need to go to a doc apt there are friends that I trust that will watch my children for me).
I am thankful for frienldy faces at the park during the 4th of July.
I am thankful for the body that God has given me. I want to take good care of it, and respect it for two reasons: 1 - so that I can keep learning and enjoying a happy healthy life in this body; the 2nd is so that I can show Heavenly Father my appreciation and gratitude for the body He created for me.
I am so thankful for Tiago's laughter!!! He is such a happy kid, with such a big heart. He gets on my nerves quite often, and talks too loud, and likes to do the opposite of what I ask of him, but man, is he a sweet-heart. If I speak harshly with him, his feelings get hurt, but he is so quick to forgive me. He LOOOOOVES to give me kisses and hugs, always and everywhere. I am so thankful that I have him in my family and that I get to be his Mama. He is precious.
I am thankful for my dear sweet Gabi! She is such a gentle girl. I am sorry that I am sometimes not as  patient with her as I should be. She is always willing to help me in the kitchen, or cleaning up the house, or with her 2 brothers. She wants to please everyone and puts other's needs before her own. She is perfect and beautiful.
I am thankful for Lucas, my littlest angel. His smile blesses me everyday. His hugs and the way he cuddles with me help me be a better person and have hope in the future.
Obrigada Pai Celestial
