Thank you Shelli for your comment and your memories.  Right now it is like we are living in a different world, and it takes some effort to think back to our other life and pull out memories of things, events and people.  It seems to take all of our energy to just make it through the day and there is no time to think.  But that other life is real, but distant, enough so that it doesn't come up much.  Right now I feel like I could fall asleep sitting here.  But usually I get a little spark of energy when I go upstairs and settle down and read my scriptures and relax and start to just think.  Those are good moments for me and quite essential to my good mental health.

 

Speaking of health I am afraid that I have a bit of a cold lurking inside of me.  I hope not, but it happens to me now and then.  If it does come it would be just when my week is really starting to go well for me.  But then I'm used to that too.  Life continues to surprise me.  And yet, it doesn't surprise me.  I have pretty much seen it all.  But there is certainly a lot left for me to learn and to do and hopefully for me to become.  It's as if I am finally coming to understand it all.  Then I realize that I understand nothing.  Maybe the truth of it all is that I do understand but the biggest thing that I understand is that I don't understand.  Understand?!
