My blog was SO happy to see the photos Karen put on.
It inspired me to get back in the mood. Last night Dee went to bed early
and I was feeling kind of down and lonely, then I remembered that I was asked
to give a 15 minute talk about my Mother on Mother's day.
Hooray! I love to give talks.
I seem to remember last year when the speakers wandered here and there, and I said
to Dee, "I wish they'd ever ask me to talk on Mother's day."
So, this is my year.
I got out a book of Mom memories, and just looking at the pictures stirs up my mind.
I can't believe it's been 19 years since she died. And I still think of her every day
So putting together a talk will be fun.
I've been reading a book by Leo Buscaglia I found in the attic clean-up
(brand new) called LIVING LOVING AND LEARNING
He sees JOY in all of life, and teaches me to jump into life fully.
One quote:
I think it's essential, to live life in wonder. All this magic that's around us,
but we let it go by! In Asia they say life is a great river, and it will flow,
no matter what you do or don't do. We can decide to flow with the river,
and live in peace and joy and love, OR we can decide to battle it, and live
in agony and despair. But the river doesn't care. Life doesn't care.
In either case
ALL OF OUR STREAMS RUN INTO THE SAME SEA
It's up to you.
SO
MY ADVICE FOR TODAY IS
JUMP IN!
Go with the flow and find peace and joy and love.

I love this story. I think you should send it in to the Ensign.
