Lovely Day for a Walk

Day 126

We are coming to a close at work for our Walking Challenge. I’ve done fairly well so far this week in getting at least 10,000 steps each day. Taking my walks at lunch has helped me in this. And I have loved getting back to walking. Being outside when I’m so often shut inside a building for the day. And getting time to read as I walk if I choose. I’m grateful for this skill of reading while walking!

I love my walks and I love that the Lord has given me time and lovely weather and beautiful scenery for them.

Break!

Day 125

Cinco de Mayo. Not that I did much to honor that. I did not have storytime today. My last was the previous week and we are on break from that until the fall. With our other programs, I’ll be busy enough. Still, I will miss having storytime. It is so fun and uplifting for me. I enjoy it a great deal.

But I will admit that I do not mind a break now and then, to which I’m grateful the Lord understands this—in all respects of my life.

Know Me?

Day 124

I had a webinar at another library today. Then I was asked to go see some people in Marketing. I wasn’t sure why. So I just had to go to the department, not knowing why and not exactly sure who needed to see me. And it meant so much to me to walk in and have everyone there—who I’m still trying to remember their names—all say my name and tell me “Hello.” I know they haven’t had over 200 people to meet and remember like I have.

But it still means so much to me to have people know my name, which is probably why it means so much to me to know the Lord knows my name.

Looking Ahead

Day 123

It’s nice to have both my evenings to close back-to-back and at the beginning of the week. It gets it over with soon and I know I have evenings available for the rest of the week to fill as I so choose.

I love that the Lord has given me a slightly more steady schedule that I have a bit more of what to expect and a bit more to look forward to as the week goes on.

One Day at a Time

Day 122

I cannot believe it is already the month of May! Time is going by so very quickly. Every year gets faster and faster. But how much faster it goes when one is busy and happy has so much to do! I’m not sure if it is something of regret or excitement or relief. Maybe a little of each.

But I do know I’m grateful for things to fill and pass each day and that the Lord reminds me never to take one day for granted.

Day of Rest

Day 121

We had our first Stake Conference of our brand new stake today. It is interesting to watch a stake being created. A ward (or branch) I’ve seen created twice before. But I don’t remember seeing a stake being created (though I know it occurred when I was much younger). It’s rather neat. And the spirit testified to me of our new leaders being who the Lord wants for us.

Stake Conference was pretty early, which meant I had an entire afternoon to myself! So I took a walk to the park because the weather was so beautiful. I walked a couple of miles and had a glorious time. Especially knowing when I got home, I’d have a meal waiting for me in the Crock Pot.

It was relaxing, soothing, and reassuring Sabbath day, and I am very grateful for it.

Now Watching

Day 120

I’m terrible. I have a Blu-Ray player now. I found a good deal and the budget was able to accommodate. So I bought it. And it connects to the Internet! I’m not a fan of TV, but I do love movies. Being able to watch my Netflix Watch Instantly on the TV is such fun. Yet I have gotten hooked to various shows. Like “Little Men.” And I’ve watched more episodes in a row than I should have. But I have loved it. And it has been good and clean and with morals and fun and funny and just plain nice.

I love it when the Lord helps me find wholesome entertainment.
