This one's for you, Wave.

Shout out to my brother, Wave/Jeff. He told me blog today. So here I am.

Alrighty. I-L, I believe. (PS This is really hard to think of things. I'll think of something as I write it, and then the next day I'll be like, OH! I should have done THAT for that letter! Blast!)

Alright, I know it's lame, but today I'm grateful for my iPOD. But really. It's my perfect escape from the world. Not the iPod itself, but the music on it. I was on the bus today by myself and the bus driver was playing Christmas music. Anyone that knows me well understands why this is such a problem. I HATE Christmas music before Thanksgiving. It's blasphemous. So, I plugged in my headphones, cranked up a song by The Format and got lost in my own world. Music...man, music is awesome. I can almost guarantee that music is what I'll be thankful for when the time for "M" comes around in this blog. Music can affect me in ways that even surprise myself. Ahh I just love it. More on that later.

I'm grateful for JOSEPH SMITH. He's the reason I am where I am today. He restored the gospel to the earth, and that very same gospel is what I owe my happiness to. I can't imagine where I would be without it. I don't WANT to imagine where I would be without it. Joseph Smith was an amazing example to me. He was persecuted, tarred and feathered, beaten, and martyred, the whole time his faith was unwavering. Undaunted, still he trusted.

I'm grateful for being a KATIE. Can I say I'm grateful for myself? I'm just grateful to be alive. I also really like my name. So, there it is.

I'm grateful for LOVE. Any type of love. Love from a parent, love from a friend, love from a boy, love from a sibling, love from anywhere, really! It's all wonderful! All you need is love!
