A big thank you to the kids who gave 'me' a couple of gift card last Father's Day that I used today to take my wife to a movie and to dinner.  We went to the Harry Potter movie over here at the new Cinemark theater in Draper.  Then we drove almost 2 blocks to the Goodwood restaurant for our dinner, mostly on your dime.  We both had prime rib.  And we shared a strawberry shake as well.  Our morning was well spent just being together and mostly talking.  It was a really nice time.  Our evening was spent, her upstairs and me downstairs with a few trips to the bathroom, but it was nice to wind down our day and get ready for early morning Tuesday.  I realized how much I enjoy just thinking good thoughts and it is even better when we think together.  Anyway, that is hard work too, and I am well spent for this holiday.  I am ready for some more reflecting (new word for thinking, pondering and contemplating) before I go to bed.   (I guess 'edifying' would be another good word)  And then it is back to work tomorrow.  It will be a shock to my system to get back to that, but I've done that before too, so I will be able to do it.I do fret with all the worries that you have.  I have so to fret over for myself, but I don't see them as much to really fret over.  They just are, and life will go on in spite of them.  I just enjoy what seems to be a real rock solid positive attitude (with gratitude) and I just engage the day as it presents itself.  I know what I can't control,  I accept that, I know what I can control and I try to do that as best I can, and I thank Heavenly Father for the opportunity of both.
