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.
