Today and Tomorrow!

Today, I went to see my youngest grandaughter, Lya. She's 5 months old and just starting to learn to eat rice cereal. It was pure joy to see how excited she got and how well she is learning this new skill. Her smile lightens up a dark and gloomy day (it was cloudy for most of the morning).

I also received a message about a dear friend, Lola (who use to be our neighbor)that is responding to Chemo. and doing really well. I thought of her positive outlook on life. How she was not dreading the future, but had open arms rejoicing for the many blessings that she has. Is it her positive attitude that is helping her to respond to the cancer treatment so well?

I have been struggling with a neighbor that I'm suppose to Visit Teach. She's makes it really hard and doesn't seem interested. She's a busy young mother going to school and working. Her husband has gone away from the church and yet she faithfully brings her kids each week. Would I be that dedicated? Even though we have no success with visiting her....each time I go to her porch and ring the doorbell....I see a sign saying "Have a positive attitude."

I just read a blog written by a friend of mine from way back. We worked in Young Women's together. She's had some rough roads lately and yet I felt the positive influence of her Testimony as I read many of her blogs. I thank her for taking that time to touch my life (and she doesn't even know it).

Tomorrow, I get to see my other grandkids. Jarem and Lexi are full of life. They love me. They don't care how old I am or what I look like. I am "gramma." How I appreciate their un-conditional love.

I feel so blessed to have these positive reminders in my life. I have so many blessings. I appreciate my family so much and love the times we share together. Thank you Marc, Alisha, Jason, Jarem, Alexa, Ryan, Yunuen, Lya, and Andrea for being so good to me.
