Okay so I'm not so good at this. . .

Blogging. Mind blogging for sure. Great idea to post thoughts, feelings, stories. It's just not happening. I still like to sit with the worn leather of a favorite journal and my flowing pen. Most often I record my life while sitting in church on Sundays. I like to listen to the hymns and allow my mind to wander to the highlights of my week. I remember little things like a hug from a son who begins to tower over me and never fails to say "I love you" when he gets out of the car. I think of my children serving God and spreading the gospel in far away places. I ponder the economy and the state of my bank account. Most importantly, I express my thoughts on paper in a way that's cathartic. The cramp in my hand that aches when I press my stress through the ball point. The doodles that spring up when my mind feels weightless and free (which by the way happens a little more often now that I've learned to apply the old adage "Let go. Let God.") I may or may not get the hang of this blogging thing. It doesn't matter really. I've already got a handle on exploring my inner feelings with a couple of friends flat and thin.

Words I Live By

. . . charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. . . charity never faileth. . . chartiy is the pure love of Christ. . .and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him. http://scriptures.lds.org/en/moro/7/46#46
