'Natural Home Birth, Sugar Facts and Purification Groups forming'

A year between blog posts? Sad...so sad! It's a new year and life is good. Well, except for the bursitis in my hip and my Freshman 15+. I have so many blessings, though, it's difficult to complain, so I won't. I will be more diligent this year in posting, but would really rather have you read my daughter-in-law's blog. She's the queen!

Happy New Year!

RELIEF SOCIETY (Tribute song)

Merry Christmas!!!

"Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space."  Dave Barry

To The Rescue: President Monson and Warm Fuzzies

How true it is!

"If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most. One of the characteristics of modern life seems to be that we are moving at an ever-increasing rate, regardless of turbulence or obstacles. Let’s be honest; it’s rather easy to be busy. We all can think up a list of tasks that will overwhelm our schedules. Some might even think that their self-worth depends on the length of their to-do list. They flood the open spaces in their time with lists of meetings and minutia—even during times of stress and fatigue. Because they unnecessarily complicate their lives, they often feel increased frustration, diminished joy, and too little sense of meaning in their lives. It is said that any virtue when taken to an extreme can become a vice. Overscheduling our days would certainly qualify for this. There comes a point where milestones can become millstones and ambitions, albatrosses around our necks."

Thinking of Dorothy today...she taught me this principle better than anyone. Miss you!
