I Need This

Day 277-290

Look at me and my bad self.

Really.

I'm terrible.

Other things in my life are getting much better at being done. Probably because I finally figured out that writing down absolutely everything I have to do in the day helped me remember that I needed to do it. Because once I had a good memory, but now it is sadly lacking. So, perhaps I should write this down among the day's tasks. For I would not want to be considered an unprofitable and ungrateful servant.

For the gratitude is certainly there. And it is expressed to Him who grants me all blessings and happiness.

But writing it here somehow helps me to better acknowledge it to myself.

And I am grateful for so much--new friends, exercise, gorgeous autumn, sewing, baking, a new dress, period dramas, great homemade food, and trip plans coming together to name a very few.

A Happy Working Song

Day 276

I love being busy at work. Love it! I always have something to do. And I enjoy almost all of it. I will never tire of loving my job, and being grateful I have the bestest job ever--and that "it" and "they" are so good to me!

A Conferencing We Will Go

Day 275

I got to attend a session of Conference in the Conference Center. Again! Twice in one year. Three times if you count the Relief Society meeting. So amazing!

I love these little opportunities, and I'm grateful for friends and family (and, of course, the Lord!) who help provide those opportunities for me.

All is Well--and Wonderful!

Day 262-274

This is so terrible! How can I not get to daily writing about all the things I'm grateful for--all the things that make me so happy? For I am so happy! And I want to record the happy times as much (actually more) than the not-so-happy times. I want myself, my posterity, and any one else who might ever read this to know that I am happy. I am full of happiness and joy. That I am a joyful person because I truly am full of joy!

And the last 12 days have been fabulous. Even more so because my birthday was involved. And I met an author who is awesome (and signed my free copy of her great book). And my presentation went well and others said it helped them. And I have the most fun birthday party! And I saw my beautiful fall colors. And I attended the RS broadcast and heard Pres. Uchtdorf's wonderful talk. And I helped a friend in the ward talent show. And I went to one of my first UT Part 3 friend's reception. And BYU has won TWO games. And I've been watching the classic Star Wars trilogy. And I received my 2nd bouquet of flowers in my life--with EIGHT roses!!! And, well...

I've started a lot of sentences with and. And could do more. :-) Because there is so much and will continue to be so.

I love my life!!
