Day two

Toda is day two without communicating with the men in my life I have grown to rely on.  I have to admit I still think of them often, but already in day two I find thoughts and feelings coming to mind easier than they have in a while.  Today my day was filled with service as I did my visiting teaching, which means I visited three different women from my church to check up on and talk with them.  It was gratifying and fulfilling.  it was a reminder of how easy we all get caught up within ourselves, that having a day like today inspires me to do more.  For the last week or so I have been making a bunch of scarfs to donate to the meals on wheels as many of the recipients get nothing for the holiday.  The due date to turn in items is this Sunday so I am happy to have completed three scarfs, but am still hoping to get in more.  I finished my book I was reading Pure in Heart by Dallin H. Oaks and have begun a mediation class to help daily with clearing the mind, keeping ones mind and soul in tune as well as providing a link in which we allow ourselves to listen to the promptings of God.  I have been to the gym everyday this week and in short: I am happy.  It is interesting that the purpose of this was to gain answers and to focus on me, yet, I have realized while I am not preoccupied with myself I have begun to find the things I am seeking for.  Especially now as I write this, I have an overwhelming sense of gratitude for so many people.  Laura R: you reached out to me when I needed a friend most.  You encourage, inspire and remind me of what love it. Telesa: Your sweet, generous heart knows no bounds and your reaching out to me so often over the years was the lifeline I was looking for.  You were an instrument of the Lord to remind me what love and family are for. Brad: "you were my rock, never my stepping stone." You push me to always be the best person I can be, while loving me for who I am. Thick or thin, I know you will always be there and that gives me a comfort I have been seeking for. Matt: You help me see my divine potential.  The beauty I fail to recognize in body and spirit, you constantly bring to my attention, allowing me to see myself for the daughter of God that I am.  Your words bring me peace and hope which calms my loud cluttered mind. Lydia: I don't even need to tell you what you do for me, as you already know.  Spiritually connected, you are a part of me and a part I cherish (yes, that pun was intended)
I love you all.  All who read.  All who comment. All who support me.  Love.  That is what I am feeling and I want you all to know just how much I love you. I am truly blessed.
