Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 12

I started the day with a full schedule... however... I had many students not show up.  Rather than being bitter that I had things scheduled and I will now lose out on the money, I am grateful.  I am so tired from  our whirl wind trip to Utah.  It's nice to get a little break.… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 12

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 11

Wow!  Long weekend! Things I am grateful for before I tumble into bed... ... we made it home safe after 13.5 hours of driving, icy, crazy drivers, fog, etc. ... my bed!  I forgot my pillow and I didn't sleep well on the hotel mattress and nasty pillow.  I am so glad to be home,… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 11

Developing and Attitude of Gratitude – Day 4

Today, as I studied 2 Nephi 4 for my scripture study, I was reminded of two important principles.  First of all, I must say how beautiful this chapter truly is.   I love the great list of qualities of the Savior it provides.  As I read I was reminded of how thankful I was for each… Continue reading Developing and Attitude of Gratitude – Day 4

Developing and Attitude of Gratitude – Day 3

Today is my 29th anniversary. So far it has been rather peaceful and uneventful.  My kids are off on an adventure at the coast, Kimber and Ray are watching TV with their kids, and John is off working on a Christmas project.  I have been eating leftovers and watching a movie in my room.  I… Continue reading Developing and Attitude of Gratitude – Day 3

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 2

Today I am not feeling myself.  I have a cold from the fast paced life of go, go, go I live and I am now being forced to take a day of rest. I think my body has got my attention now. To rest means to cease from a particular activity.  I know that rest… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 2

Developing and Attitude of Gratitude – Day 1

Let's be thankful to God 365 day in a row. Join me in thanking God when the sun shines down on us and when we find ourselves weathering the storms of life. Let us thank Him for all His goodness in the good times and in the hard times. Let's thank Him when He strengthens us and when He restores peace. Join me for the next year as I ponder on all of His goodness, tender mercies and blessing - large and small - that He showers on our lives each day.

Theatre Thursday

Theatre Helps a Person Discover Who They Are

Theatre has always been a place of self discovery for me.  It has been a place where I could make sense of the world around me.  Everyday I help out with the theatre program in my local school.  Every day I see kids get out of their superficial cellular lives and start interacting with others,… Continue reading Theatre Helps a Person Discover Who They Are
