So...today was the culmination of a week of heartache and stress. I officially lost my dearest and closest friend. During my moments of extreme heartache, one of my best friends (J) gave me an "
assignment" to list 10 things I am grateful for. At that exact moment, I felt everything but gratitude, but I listened and I do feel better. I am so lucky. I am so blessed. Who am I to complain? I am one of the lucky ones.
My list:
- My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
- The Restored Gospel, including a living prophet.
- My children
- The temple
- Great friends/angels
- My education
- The scriptures
- My country, state, city, and neighborhood
- Financial peace
- Uplifting and inspirational music
See? I am one of the lucky ones! Now I have another "assignment" from J to go finish. She is a wise woman...definitely one of my angels. :)

I'm so sorry that you're continuing to have big ups and downs. A good dose of boring might be nice for you right about now, eh? Hope you feel better soon.
I guess this is why you never texted me back...
So sorry...
I did it, J! Both assignments. Thanks for the uplift. :) I am surrounded by angels. :)
You're right...J is a smartie!
I'm glad you're feeling better.
So glad you did your "homework!" Now for your next assignment...just joking! It's the teacher in me!
Have a HAPPY day!
Thinking of you!!! :)
