I was going to write something serious and deep, but I don't want to work that hard.  I would like to just fill the page with something of some worth and then get to bed.  For some reason I have been really tired today.  I did get up early and attended our block.  We came  home and had lunch and then Sheila was my companion on a home teaching visit.  I had taken a nap before we went and then when we got home I took another nap.  We did do something nice together when we sat in front of the computer and watched 15 testimonies of the brethren on LDS.ORG.  It was a nice recap of all that we hold dear and have our own testimonies of.  Sheila watched the movie "Beyond the Blackboard" on tv and I channel surfed it a few times.  Do you know that it is the story of an LDS woman and took place in Salt Lake City?  Her religion was a part of the story but not enough as to say outright that she was a Mormon.

My Sunday has found me in another strange mood.  It is not unusual for me to start thinking 'church' and actually separate myself from my reality.  Then when I get to the end of Sunday I start to think about reconnecting to my real world and I don't want to.  I like the other world that I have created for myself.   I think that this is not such a bad thing.  But it will all have to wait until another time.  I am here in this world.  I have things that I need to do.  I made choices that keep me here, and it is actually not a bad place to be.  It just requires constant exertion and when I get a chance for a little break I try to take advantage of it.  I don't remember such times when we were young an raising you all.  It seems to be an advantage of being old.  And it is a good thing that being old does have some perks, because it surely has a down side as well.  So take my advice and enjoy each of your stages as they happen because the next stage will come along soon enough.
