simple pleasures and tender mercies in my blessed life...
~i can breathe again... after being congested and sounding like a man for a week, i'm very grateful to wake up in the morning and smell the opportunities of a new day!
~tax return... it may have taken me a long time to sit down and do my taxes, but that tax return is a sweet little blessing! shopping anyone?!
~sunshine... i love utah sunshine, and am so grateful for the warmth we've had for the past week... minus the snow storm this morning! sun please come back!
~skype is greatest tool of communication ever... i love that i can stay connected with my dearest sister and her precious family even though we are opposite sides of the country (not to mention skype is wonderful for connecting continents too)... but doing pedicures with mylee over skype is one of my lifetime highlights! i heart mylee! oh, and of course kai sang "follow the prophet" to me which just added to that perfect night on skype. they are my favorites!
~the tender testimony of a 6 year old... wonderful seth let mylee get out of bed and share her primary talk with me over skype. definitely the sweetest thing i've ever heard, and just an incredibly spiritual experience! it's amazing how much we can learn from children!
~power of prayer... "ask and ye shall receive", enough said!
~cougars... yes, i guess i'm grateful for those blasted cougars who live down the road. they brought my dearest maegan back to utah, so i guess i need to show some appreciation.
~utah temples... i definitely take for granted the many temples here in utah. the fact that i can pass like 6 of them in 30 minutes is pretty remarkable! i love temple and am so grateful that i have so many at my fingertips, and that i've been able to go with my temple buddy these past few weeks!
~general conference... ha, i'm sitting here and don't know what to type about the incredible conference! some of the greatest messages, as always! those incredible men and leaders of the Church are called of God! what a remarkable weekend! i just pray that i won't take their great messages for granted and that i'll continue to study them.
~a quiet home... we had some extra albanians stay at the apartment for a week, and i'm definitely enjoying each quiet moment at home now a lot more.
~the Holy Ghost... He brings peace and testifies of truth. such simple and quiet feelings, but the times that i feel His presence are definitely moments that i should never forget.
~patient pants... it is a tender mercy and such a huge blessing to have such incredible people in my life! not only are they amazing examples, but they are so patient and accepting of me, and i'm truly blessed and so grateful that they put up with me! thank you!
"In all of living have much of fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."
