*Fasting. Recognizing that as much as I crave and need water and food, I need to "feed" my spirit as well. Tasting that sacrament bread and sipping that water after fasting 20+ hrs makes the analogy so real to me.
* I am grateful for gratitude. The principle of gratitude. Being given the opportunity to teach gratitude to four small people, and the pride (I know opposite of gratitude) I feel every time I hear them spontaneously, but sincerely, say Thank You. So very grateful for a Mother and Nana who taught me about gratitude.
* Tonight with Klint. Since a few people other than myself and him read this blog, that's about all I can write.
* Chocolate cake. Made with pudding and 7-up and caramel and ganache and a bit of heaven. Even better is that Klint and the kids made it..not me!!
*Standing up in Relief Society, teaching. Forgetting completely to be nervous, because I feel so much love for those women in that room, and I feel so loved by them. I love the example they are to me. I know so many of their hardships and trials they face and for them to come every single week gives me strength to carry my own burdens. To feel their love for me and my family is incredible. No it's so much more than that, words just don't express the feelings I have for those women, for the people in my ward. They are family. I love them. I am so blest.
*receiving the sweetest present for Cole. Ever. An older couple in the ward who haven't ever had children, brought a gift for Cole today in church. The cutest, toughest looking stuffed gorilla. The card read,
"a tough guy" for our favorite "tough guy". Love, the Geldarskis. They just melt my heart. We love them so much. They have prayed for Cole since before he was born, and continue to. They haven't even ever held him but for some reason they love him and us. There are angels among us.
