Still thankful. Just not consistent

I promise I'm being thankful, even though I've only posted twice or so, after having decided to do this every day. That's what usually happens. However, I'll just go from here. No sense kicking myself for the past.
I'm thankful today for morning naps. I have a 19-lb baby who can't sit up but gets sick of lying on her back or tummy. When I prop her up on the couch, within 30 seconds she's ootched herself into an uncomfortable position. When I put her in the Bumbo, she poops. (Sorry, overshare.) So I usually spend a lot of my day picking her up, moving her, and holding her.
However, every morning she goes to sleep at about 9:30 or 10:00 and sleeps for a few hours. I'm thankful for those couple hours where I can get a few things done and let my back recover.
I'm thankful for my calling in the YW. In Beijing I was called as the Beehive Advisor for the last few months we were there. Then when we moved to Provo, I was called as the YW second counselor, over the Beehives. When we moved here, I played the piano in Primary for a couple months, and now I'm the YW second counselor again. This seems to be my calling for this period of my life. I love hanging out and talking to the Beehives, along with all the other young women. I think teenagers are the funnest, funniest, and most fascinating group of people.

My mom was always called to YW callings because she was awesome and could relate well to them. Looks like you're in the same boat!
