Sheila lost a bet because of me. Last night she was talking to Kathy and said that she didn't think that I would get our garage door fixed without her nagging me. Well, I didn't speak of it to her, but I did make the phone call that I promised. It even took a call back because the friend that I said could help us did not call me back. So I called again and arranged a visit, and tonight just before we left to go to Linzi's 17th birthday party we forked out hard earned money (earned by Sheila) to pay for the door which had been fixed and was working. At the gathering she did admit the error of not believing in me. And I was proud to have of myself. In fact, I felt real good about me and my whole day. I worked well, read a couple of articles in the Ensign did a lot of lesser tasks and made headway on my 'pile'. Then, to hold my newest grandson, and spend some time with most of the family as well as being able to see what is likely in Sharon's future made for a very nice day. There's something more to the way that I feel, but I'm not quite sure right now what it is. I'll consider that tonight and tomorrow and maybe have and answer tomorrow night. Maybe it is just because we were able park the car in the garage and Sheila won't have to scrape the windows in the morning when she gets up early and is off to work. Whatever the reason I feel right now and will express later in my own prayer my gratitude for today. I just feel good. And I'll take that any time that I can.
