Blessings...

God is aware of us. He knows our needs. He is benevolent.

Sometimes we (I) may be further away from Him and may not see or allow His influence in my life the way that it could be. Sometimes there are consequences to choices. Sometimes things happen to help us learn and grown. Sometimes those things are hard and challenging.

Like the muscles of our bodies, I believe that our spirits and personalities grow and develop through the lessons we learn in and the way that we react to those challenges.

I believe that God has given us power to act in His behalf for the good of His children on earth. That power is called the Priesthood. I have seen miracles in my life as a result of the power of the Priesthood. One of those miracles is that I can see and am not blind. That is a story for another day.

Since contracting Covid, I have received a couple of blessings for healing. They are personal and sacred to me. In the first blessing, though, I was told repeatedly that I was loved--by my family, by my friends, by my Heavenly Father. I have felt an outpouring of faith and love. Thank you!

Let's Get It Started

Today I found a new online party planning resource . Holiday, birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, weddings, etc. It helps you create invitations or ecards, is customizable, offers list management and guest list management, sends event/birthday reminders, manages potluck sign up lists, links to Twitter and Facebook, helps you decide on a date, links to your e-calendar, links to party planning supplies, manages a to-do list, offers party planning ideas, hints and tips, and is pretty much amazing. In addition, it is free. I'm hooked.

Shot and Chaser

I did it! Today I braved a shot of wheat grass and am forever grateful to the Jamba Juice employee (Alexa) who recommended the orange juice shot as a chaser over an orange wedge. I'm not sure why today was such a momentous day. Wheat grass is something I've wanted to try for a while, but haven't dared do - kind of like my purchasing soy milk and hesitance to drink. (Thanks, Renee , for the recent soy smoothie introduction!) All I can say now is wow, wheat grass - talk about fresh!

Memories

Oliver, I remember how small you were. How you whined and cried when you were left alone in your box/kennel while you were being house trained. I remember how you took to Cambridge, wanting to be with him everywhere. I remember sitting with the two of you, having structured together time; Cambridge was not fond of the new puppy and needed encouragement for patience, lessons on sharing, and reminders not to nip at the puppy. You hated going somewhere Cambridge did not go and wanted to go everywhere he did. You were always eager to love, ready for a pat on the head, playtime, offering a lick to the hand, even when I didn't put my best foot forward. Even when I scolded. What a small fluff you were. Loyal and anxious and mischievous. Wanting to climb into laps. Wanting more food, more time, more love. Always thinking you were still a puppy. Wanting to be the center of everything. Stealing toys just to steal them. Camping trips with you and Cambridge in the tent with me because I was wo...
