Today I awoke to the very sad news that a friend had passed away. She leaves behind several young children, some adult children and a couple of grand children, along with her wonderful husband. She died after a long battle with cancer... nearly 9 years. However, I had the privileged of helping her before the… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 459

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Days 457 and 458
Some longs day. Getting maybe, 5 hours a sleep a night. Too many things on my mind and too many things I need to do. My body is slowing down. I am grateful Thoroughly Modern Millie opens tomorrow. Maybe the stress will decrease. Meanwhile, I am running to get lesson plans, etc. off the ground… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Days 457 and 458

Holy Cow. My life is racing too fast. Between trying to write lesson plans and curriculum for new classes, getting a show open in a few days, and trying to hold it together at home, I am exhausted. I haven't had any time for my habits I am trying to build. I am thankful for… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Days 454, 455, 456
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 453
This morning I studied 1 Nephi 2:10-13. It always amazes me that people I meet are surprised at the fact that there are always opposites. There is always opposition in all things. It's a law of nature! I learned in science class Isaac Newton's law of motion. "For every action there is an equal and… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 453

Today I studied a few more verses in 2 Nephi 2... but not many because I was distracted by the next doctrine taught... Jesus IS THE PLAN! I'd write more about the verses I read today, But I am exhausted. I am grateful for the people who hung around so we could get the rest… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 452
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 451
This morning while I was studying scriptures I only got through one verse. I know that sounds lame, but I just needed to ponder that verse for the day. “And men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil.” – 2 Nephi 2:5 I think we forget this truth far too often. People are calling… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 451
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 450
Despite wake more tired than when I went to bed, I am grateful for a new start. It's nice that each day can be a "do over" day, a chance to live just a little bit closer to the Spirit and a chance to make amends for the things I need to work on. Today… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 450
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 429
Arise! That is the word that really jumped out at me as I studied me scriptures this morning. Arise from the dust and be men! My mind immediately goes to one of my favorite scenes in a Disney movie. Mulan whips off her tie and teaches the guys how to climb the wall to save… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 429
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 428
Today I studied a bit of the writings of Isaiah that were preserved by Nephi. 1 Nephi 20 begins with a call for all baptized members to hearken to what he has to saw. We are called to serve him and to keep his commandments (Mosiah 18:10). We are called to always remember him. This… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 428
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 427
Today I am grateful that I had some down time this evening. Lilli is off to Snowball, a school dance. None of my children have ever wanted to get ready at our house or involve us in their fancy dance plans. So we have a quiet night at home. That's nice. I am grateful that… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 427
