I had another pretty average day.  But I am trying to change my 'lens' and see something in it that is worthwhile, really neat or just good.  I know that tend to get pretty judgmental and I overlook the 'roses' or the 'forget-me-nots' that do come each day.  I also tend to get so used to things as they are that I forget how they could be.  I mean that in the way that they could be so much worse and we are really, really blessed now.  I see and read stuff all the time that causes me to know that our situation is good.  Yes, sometimes I do compare us to the 'Huntsman's' but I also am aware of the other side too.  As I work my way through the day I am able to see when I need to do better and more, and when I can relax and take a break.  On bad days I get those two confused, but when I am using my head I am able to make good choices sometimes.  I am still fixated on D & C Section 4.  I have read it morning and night for a couple of weeks now.  It has been a catalyst to some wonderful thoughts that I am really enjoying studying.  I told Shelli on Sunday to read it and think of it not related to missionary work, but related to our own personal journey.   I believe that it has a lot to say when looked at that way.  I am still finding new ideas come out of my study and by now I do have it memorized (again) so I can review it virtually anytime that I think about it.  You might try it.  I would be interested to know if any of you do, and if so, what you get out of it.
