It's amazing how much you can accomplish when you come home at five o'clock... instead of six-thirty, or seven-fifteen, or later. I talked to a sister-in-law for an hour, visited a friend, talked to a different friend, sorted and distributed farmshare veggies, went to Trader Joe's (after nixing Chipotle for dinner), visited yet another friend, ate dinner, watched an episode of my favorite TV show, and checked my email - all before bedtime. Amazing. Happy. I loved it.
I guess that's what happens when you're willing to start your day before 9 am.

This is Good
This merits a mid-week post... two fabulous things happened today.
First. My most amazing project manager is on vacation. (We all miss you, by the way, just in case you read this blog and want to know...) Knowing what I would be missing while said vacation was elapsing, one of my other colleagues voluntarily filled in where there was a hole. It was much needed, and I was grateful.
Here's to awesome friends!
Second. It wasn't the most relaxing day I've ever had. But in my determination to choose to be happy, I decided to call my SIL after work to find something about which to smile. We had a lovely conversation and by the end of it all, I had managed to let the stress of the day roll off my shoulders. Reading her children's blog posts sealed the deal. The evening has been officially pleasing and humorous.
Here's to wonderful family!
See, I told you you would like it. :-)

On Friendship
My friends are those
Who stand 'longside
Who cheer me on
And act as guide
They comfort when
My heart is sad
Remind of joy
And make me glad
A shoulder give
To cry upon
Then pick me up
Help me move on
My cherished friends
In them I see
Divinest love
God's gift to me
I served in the temple again today. It was wonderful. So many happy things take place there, and I love the feeling present there when I'm serving with my closest friends. After our shift, my temple buddy and I went out for dinner. We had a lovely conversation, and when it was through, I felt uplifted and blessed and happy and strengthened, and my heart was light. It was a blessing from a loving God, and it brought me great joy.
