a very special gratitude journal fairy stopped by my house today! it was such a NICE surprise! we got to see her infectious smile, hear her happy laugh, love all the sweet things she had to say about baby beau, and catch up a tiny bit with life. if that wasn't good enough though, her real reason for stopping by, was to give me my very own gratitude journal. for the month of november, i get to write every day about something i am grateful for. i am very excited to do this!
today, november 1st, i am going to share what i am writing about in my special journal. my twenty-nine nieces! blood or married in, i love them all. i have twenty from my stewart side and nine from my bunker side. how lucky am i? i really honestly feel like i know each one of them, except whitney, and i am hoping to spend some time with her at our bunker girls retreat in june.
being able to read and see a little about most of their lives, through their blogs, or thru vacations, or from being at the ranch together, or the beach, or wherever and whenever we are together, i am amazed at what wonderful women are in my family. they are fun, they are unique, they are beautiful, they are smart, they are sensitive, they are great mothers, they have strength in their testimonies, they serve valiantly...i guess my list could go on and on. i know i admire each one for very different things. i am so proud to be able to stand with them in our fight to DO what is right. they are each one a light to the world and i know i am grateful that i am close enough to have a little strength and uplifting from each of them during my days! thanks girls for inspiring an older woman to try and be better. and thanks journal fairy for a fun way to feel gratitude all month long...loves to you all!

You are the best aunt! You make us all feel special and loved. We know you care about us. I hope I can be like you to my nieces.
Susan, would you happen to know where the thankful fairy got the journal cover? Any info you could give me i would appreciate it. I need to make several. Thanks
i understand why you didn't mention the part about how i was your favorite niece, you didn't want the rest to be jealous!
It says a lot about you that you have a relationship with each one-I am grateful for such a cool aunt.
