One of my favorite scriptures is Alma 29.  It starts out: 'O that I were an angel' and ends up being a lesson for me (and each of us) on the subject of humility and acceptance.  I continue to reread it often and ponder on what 'the Lord hath allotted unto me'.  I have gained much so far, but I know that I need to find more understanding from its message.  It is so easy to lose appreciation for our blessings and wonder about how much more we might have 'if' this or 'if' that.  Understanding exactly what we do  have and what we really are isn't as easy as I would like it  to be.  I know that I have aged a lot: I hope that I have also grown a lot as well.  I begin each new day here by trying to record as well as give something positive by what I write.  Sometimes I have an idea of what I will write long before I sit down, and sometimes the words just come as I begin.  I really don't know if there is much merit to it but I do enjoy the occasional comment from any of my '6' followers! Today is Halloween.  I guess today would be a good day to dress up as an 'angel', but maybe I ought to just try to act like one somehow in what I will do in this next 24 hours.
