I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.

Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.

Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!

Junior High Reunion

To all you ladies who made the flight/drive out for a girls' weekend, THANK YOU! It was just like old times...with the exclusion of myself, everyone is as beautiful and charismatic as ever!  We spent several hours catching up at my place, then visited Chakra's Spa for massages, facials, and pedicures. The night completed with long-awaited for dinner at BJ's. I felt so loved. Just wish I wasn't fighting fatigue and pain the whole time. If I seemed to be more of a bystander than participant, I hope you understand the reasoning. Love you girls!
