Gratitude Post #3: Opportunity to Choose

Today I'm grateful for the opportunity to choose. I get to choose so many things in my life:  how to spend my money, my time, my opinions, my thoughts, my attitudes, my beliefs, my work, my friends, and so much more. Sure, I have responsibilities and things I really should and need to do, but ultimately I get to choose. Here are a few choices I'm happy to have.

To serve a mission

To have children

To grow peach trees

To exercise and get stronger

To try new things like raise chickens, even if it ends badly 

To grow vegetables in my garden

To go to the temple

To get married

To spend time with grandchildren

And attend important events in my grandchildren's and my children's lives

To play the violin and help my children learn to play musical instruments

To learn to play the organ

To visit with friends

To learn about and do family history

I'm grateful for so many choices!
