Almost Valentine's Day

How am I feeling about that?  Thank you for asking.  And if you didn't ask, I KNOW you were just DYING to ask, but didn't DARE.  It's o.k.  I will go ahead and tell you.  If I start to think too much about it, I start to feel sick to my stomach.  But then I redirect my thoughts.

I think about my beautiful children.  I think about Cristian. I think about repentance.  I think about diet coke.  I think about forgiveness.  I think about Sees molasses chips.  I think about love.  I think about compassion.  I think about maybe a little bit more love.  I think about the gift of discernment and being led by the Spirit.  I think about my family in Utah and California.  I think about miraculous cures from an illness that has no cure.  I think about empathy.  I think about a job that pays my bills and student loan debts.  I think about friendship.  I think about manis and pedis at Magic Nails.  I think about serving others. I think about open lines of communication.  I think about all my gh*tto girls and gh*tto guys (middle school students) that tell me daily I am "their role model".  I think about putting one foot in front of another and living one day at a time.  I think about my Savior Jesus Christ who will help me power through this.

It's almost Valentine's Day.  And I am o.k. with it.  This to shall pass.
