2. I'm thankful for my singing voice especially when I get to sing with other talented people. Today I particularly enjoyed singing I Wonder When He Comes Again with three part women and Baby, What You Goin' To Be with a quartet. Loved it.
3. I'm thankful for a good talk in Sacrament Meeting about this talk from General Conference. I felt uplifted. The speaker shared this quote from an unknown author:
What I Want My Children to Remember About Home
That their father and mother loved each other.
That our home was a happy one because we all worked to keep it so.
That the books in the house were to be read if handled rightly, and there were no shelves under lock and key because of questionable contents.
That absolute truth abided there: no earnest questioner, however young, was put off with subterfuge or evasion.
That we believed in hospitality, in spite of any extra labor involved and that our friends loved to come visit us.
That Sunday was the happiest day of the week, and that we all looked forward to its coming because it was the day when we went to church together and then came home for an afternoon with Father in the midst.
That though Father and Mother worked hard and long at their respective jobs, they found time every day to be informed on current events, to read good books, to think through to logical conclusions and to pray.

Those kind of quotes make me want to go back and try again now that I know lots more about raising a family. When I was young and doing it, I was blundering in the dark most of the time.
