I wasn't happy with yesterday.  The truth is that I wasn't happy with myself yesterday.  I knew that I could have done better and I slacked off.  I did not use my time well, and I felt the worse for it.  I made up my mind that I needed to do better, and that I would do better today.  And despite some moments headed in the same direction I did force myself to be more active and creative and do what needed doing.  Oh, I wasn't perfect, but I did have some perfect moments, and I was quite productive.  I still did not go anywhere, oh, that's not true.  Sheila told me that she needed gas in the car and I did go and fill it up so she would be all ready to go in the morning when she has to be up and off to work before 7 a.m.  And I did the usual getting the paper and getting the mail.  But it was the work I did at my desk that made my day productive.  It certainly feels better then it did yesterday.  I am starting to feel quite tired now, but it feels like a good kind of tired and I am ready to close out my day with my scriptures and my prayer (and our prayer) and a bit of pondering.  The idea that I wrote about last night needs some addition thought.  You know, the idea about us being 'dumbed -down' when we came to this 2nd estate.  It seems that learning enough to start understanding that changes perspective which shows life in a very different light.  Does that make sense??
