More Talents

Day 76

I love St. Patrick’s Day! I love my green. But that is not today’s gratitude. There was no Institute because of the college’s spring break. I look forward very much to my weekly Institute class. It provides the spiritual, mental, and social rejuvenation that I found at our mutual activities when I was in YW. Indeed, Wednesday used to be my favorite day because of that. Now, it is Thursday. (Plus—I get to do storytimes those days—bonus!!)

I could have enjoyed an evening at home. But I decided to use this time to start making some connections with schools, which is important for a librarian who serves all youth under age 19. I decided to go to a local Jr. High’s musical performance. I was back and forth on what to expect, as I know many areas of Utah provide amazing musical and theatrical talent, but was still wary as to what a Jr. High could offer at that growing and developing age of talent (among other things). So, I was pleasantly surprised at the talent I was presented with. And I thoroughly enjoyed myself for the entire performance. It made me so happy to be in an area where even the young teens can provide such talent and entertainment.

One more thing to add to the always-growing list of how the Lord forever and always will know what is best for me—what I need, when I need, and how I need it all.
