| I think that is Pennsylvania down there. |
What a busy couple of weeks I’ve had! Just look at this
list:
 |
| Lake Erie. It's like an ocean! |
Six plane
rides
One visit to
the beach at Lake Erie
One road
trip to New York State
Lots of hot
dogs
One ice
cream cone at Alli’s Cones & Dogs
 |
| Gotta have ice cream! |
Two running
workouts with a toddler and a stroller
One walk
with a five year-old, a toddler, and a stroller
One visit to
the Erie Zoo
One camel that didn't live in a zoo
About twenty
walls scrubbed (It’s just an estimate)
One oven
cleaned
One refrigerator
cleaned
 |
| Hilly run in Erie! |
Four windows
and tracks scrubbed
One Krispy
Kreme Donut
Two copies
of Gold Pans and Iron Skillets given away on airplanes
One batch of
princess sugar cookies baked with two princesses
One
difficult eight mile run
One day of
yard work
 |
| For making cookies. |
Lots of
Grandma Time
One outing
with a standard transmission (I can still drive a stick)
One reminder
to the Tooth Fairy
One dozen
(roughly) bedtime stories
One rake and
one shovel stuck in a tree
New grass
sprouting
One goat
head stuck in my foot
 |
| A rake and a shovel |
Three or
four broken hearts
Countless
hugs
It’s a busy
life! It’s also a wonderful life. If you don’t think so, stop and take
inventory like I just did. You are sure
to find something to smile about.
Remember, “For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all
things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be
brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good
nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if
it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither
death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor
insensibility.” 2 Nephi 2:11
In other
words, you would not know happy if you had never known sad.
