Anthem



* I am in Anthem, and I have missed my Gratitude Journal. I have so much to be thankful for. I just woke up to this Text. "Good night u 2. I'm lucky to have u 2 as mom and dad i could not of asked for anything better, thanks 4 your love, love ya night." Matt Pure Honey for the Heart

* I am learning so many things like: I need new pans. The ones here are amazing.

* I was made to be in the water. Every day I can swim my life is greased.

* Tom and I have been reading Beloved Enos each night together. I am finally, after a 40 years, learning that I can't share meaningful things with him before about 11:00 P.M. He reads to us and I try to stay awake. Somehow I have to recalibrate my clock to be alert late. I have always wanted to be outside at the crack of dawn, probably still will do that one, but I need to nap or something to allow me to connect with him better later.

* I have been reading Jean Anderson's Books and they speak to my soul. I think they jumped off the shelf at the library just as gift to me. One of those tender mercies.

* C.S. Lewis said that self satisfaction is a quiet joy mixed with a sense of gratefulness. I am feeling those words to be perfect!

Grady

* Boy are we going to have excitment in our family always with this cute boy. He is a "Spit Fire". I have missed out on his personality too much. Thank heavens for this lucky time for me to get to know him. He is wearing Grandpa's Birthday winter horse feeding hat. Tom wasn't impressed at all, but Grady was all over it. It is February and everyday is sunny and warm here so I don't think it will come in handy for him. Grady makes Tom and I smile all the time. Today in Sacrament meeting he walked up the aisle and gave us a hug, checked out the candy, and headed right back to his Mom. He LOVES his Mom. He gives the very best hugs! I love feeding the ducks with him. Just being with this child makes me so happy!
