Yesterday I...

Do you ever sit down and just think of the things you have in the short life you have lived??? Of course you do...everyone does. I have been lately, thinking of my family most of all. I miss my husband because I am in Utah. I am in Utah because of my sister and brother in law. I miss my grandbabies in Ca and I think of my brothers and sisters all around the world.

The biggest thing I've been thinking of is the constant promptings of Heavenly Father of how we must live our lives to be with him. I've read three books in the Book of Mormon, not to race through them, but because of the fascination they have provided me these last few weeks. I am thankful for the blessings and explainations that he provides to us. How simple the doctrine is...Live like you are with Heavenly Father, do the right things to gain eternal promise...so simple..yet, so hard.

We as a family, have been dealing with struggles and tragedies, the main one is the curse of cancer in the life of my brother in law. Admonitions and notices are constantly sent out through facebook, phone and blog posts of how advanced his cancer is..Also, information about future plans of a temple visit and a celebration of his life are prominent in these modes of information.

Rick will go the way of all the earth, to be with Heavenly Father and also to fulfill an important calling. He is looking forward to being with his late family again, and also trying to console his wife and children that everything will be all right... He is an awesome person, someone whom I am very proud and honored to know and have as part of my family...

Yesterday I was thinking of my own future, today? I am grateful for my past...

The reason I sweat...

Yes, I know women glisten rather than sweat...I chose this title to show what kind of situations I can get into..

Here's an example: I have a good friend of whom I have recently made contact with after 38 years. She was one of the popular crowd at high school and I felt like pinching myself almost all the time. After all, I spent the first 8 years of school being told I was an outcast and a strange person. Well, in some ways I still am..but then I regress.. Back to subject.

I used to go to her house, sometimes before school and we would talk and visit while she finished preparing for school. She had this one blouse that I took a liking to.. It was brown with black square patches. These patches were placed in such a way that it looked like I was staring at her chest. Yes, I felt like a perv, but I didn't mean it that way... I remember to this day the nervousness in her voice when she asked if I was staring...u know where...and since my quick wit was lacking, I simply looked down and turned red. Now, I could tell her that I liked her blouse and that I didn't mean to make it look the way it did...

So, it was one reason I sweated. I have many examples but I don't want to bore you with them. Some are the usual type of things, catching a brother in the a 'room' or hearing something and having to deal with the strange looks of the guilty parties in question. Just a couple to mention.

Now a days, I am not so afraid to ask questions and stand up for my good and bad sweaty decisions. I guess I finally realize that I am worth something. To my husband; I try to be a good wife, to my family; I try to be kinder and more patient, and too my Heavenly Father; I try to be a worthy member of his family and share the gospel with all those around me...Perhaps I won't sweat so much now...

The best deal of the day is:

having chocolate before bedtime. It tends to keep you up a bit and then, lala land.
I have so many things that are the best and my church, family, friends, and accquaintances are amoung them. I have seen so many people lately and been able to keep in touch with some of them. I am grateful to Heavenly Father for all the blessings I have and I pray that I will be worthy of them.

Another good deal is being able to provide for myself and assist in keeping our home in a good condition. Fixing up the back yard, cleaning the garage and just maintaining the inside of the place. Heavenly Father clearly wants me to be here to learn quite a few things

The last deal is making up my mind that I will do what I can for my family, friends and such. Heavenly Father will assist me with this deal and when I do these things, I gained the most awesome deal of all...Eternal life with Gary and being in constant presence with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Right now, I will deal with gaining the faith to go back to the church I love and know. To become more active in what I believe...

Mosaic pictures from the 1970's

Do you remember doodling on your notepad or piece of paper (while the teacher is talking...yak yak yak...blah blah...? Well, today I am providing you with a picture from the past..Yeah, I created it yesterday, but it still applies. What do you think I should do next?

I am thinking of making gadget on the past...we can compare notes...

Literary Genius?? oooops!!

think cool thoughts...

Ok, so I'm not a genius, but as you see above, I am trying. The start of this blog is to promote thoughts and ideas for future ventures in written style. I have done many a poem and short story to entertain my own needs. Now it is time to bring them to the public. I only hope that I can do this.

My spurts of wisdom and thought are on many topics, so depending on the season, activity, religious thought and other possible interruptions, you could almost see anything published here... Some will be parts of future books and information, most will be small bits of ideas that I have.

References at this time will be limited until I peruse the topics required more clearly.

That's about it for now...
