Physically I feel kind of , well, I'm tired.  I feel sweaty and uncomfortable.  I actually had almost dozed off when I got up to walk over to the church to do my duty.  So that kind of half awake half asleep feeling is here.  My feet hurt a little bit because I am wearing my church shoes on a Friday night and even though its been well more then two years since we bought them they still hurt if I wear them too long or do any amount of walking in them.  So my walk to the church was just exacerbating (there's a good work for your vocabulary) the situation because we had gone to a viewing earlier and were standing in line for what seemed longer then the 30-45 minutes.  So my body is not only tired, but my muscles have had it and want me to get the day over with.  But despite the physical discomfort I feel really good.  I know that it is because we did something good that we didn't have to do, and we were supposed to do it and we did.  I am referring to the viewing.  Our across the street neighbors Pete and Norma, well, Norma's father died.  We both knew that Heavenly Father wanted us to go there.  I don't understand why, but I just knew that that was what we needed to do.  So I dressed up (hence the church shoes) and we drove to American Fork.  It wasn't much of a sacrifice, in fact, I quite enjoyed being there with my sweetheart, and of course it was far enough removed that the loss was minimal for us.  But somehow I got repaid for such a simple thing that you'd think I had done something wonderful.  At least that is the way I feel right now.  Sheila had gone to the store when I started my 'doze' and then walked over to the church and was here when I got back.  I thought that both of us were supposed to be there for Norma.  Me, I got a couple of hugs while joking that I could get away with it there.  And Sheila, well, I just think that there will be something more to come of this in the future.  What, I do not know, but there was something special about doing what we did, and I really feel good that we did it.  It may be nothing, but then again....
