The first part of my day I had a hard time getting myself to work.  After I got the pressing things done I watched some tennis from Wimbleton and worked sparingly.  Later in the day I had more pressing things to do so I got busier and did what I needed to do.  For me it is easy to get out of the mood to work.  Today was an example of that, but I did persevere and finished the tasks even though I could have easily left it all for tomorrow.  I even started my preparation for my priesthood lesson for July 23rd!  I'll study that material now most every day for the next four weeks.  By then I might know the material well, and I might also have actually absorbed it too.

Because of Sheila and Richard I was able to stay at home all day.  I really like my commuting time and I am so used to just being here able to work without leaving that I know that I am spoiled and would have a real hard time if things changed and I had to go to work to earn a living.  Sometimes I complain, but I still feel very grateful when I think about the time 2 years ago when things worked out so well for me and Richard to become certified as private investigators.  I am able to feel that anxiety again, and the wonderful feeling of relief that I felt when it became official.  I try to see everything in my life through a spiritual perspective.  It brings me a sense of peace and also many feelings that I am unable to explain to myself.  But when I allow myself, I do admit a closeness to wonderful things.  It is special to me, but I know that certain things that may be special to one don't necessarily have any meaning to others.  So if that means anything to you, fine, if not, that's okay too.  I am so grateful for the way things are in my life.  President Benson once spoke of being grateful for the 3 "w" s in his life.  "W"s appealed to me (Weaver) so I have often expressed gratitude for my 'worship' my 'wife' and my 'work'.  About all that I am and have can be included in one of those ''W"s when I see them for all that they include (wife=family) (worship=all that is divine) and (world=everything else.) 

As for right now I am grateful that I have made it through another day AND that I have another one on my horizon.
