Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

Random way to POP out of my Funk!

At the beginning of August, the wards in our Stake were rearranged and things were moved around so that we now meet in the Stake Center @ 9 am and have about 100 "new" members in our ward. Our Family has not made it to church since then until today. I am in the nursery, so this change meant new children, and a new nursery room.

Well, I don't know what it was exactly, but something just POPPED me out of my funk. I think it was a combination of things. I went and bought some new clothes this past week. Clothes that fit a little better and are more flattering. I also took a little personal "grooming" time before Sacrament Meeting this morning to put on make up, and make sure my eyebrows weren't unkempt.

And then there's the handful of people in my life who have made me feel like a million $... and most of them are NEW additions in my life. That combined with how I have been feeling about my children, and how lucky I am to have them.

I also have seemed to find good balance between assertive and aggressive. And I like who I am.

It just did it. And it was like one of my Friends who has been observing this past year finally felt like it was safe to say "your life has SUCKED the past little while." Because it just DOESN'T any more.
