Sweet Potators

When will I learn? That I either need to keep both hands and a tight grip on the iPad or quit holding it above my head while laying in bed or on the couch. Blasted headache..... AND a goose-egg on my temple. :-|||||

“There is something in the human spirit that will survive and prevail, there is a tiny and brilliant light burning in the heart of man that will not go out no matter how dark the world becomes.” ~Leo Tolstoy~ I've been thinking lots about the human spirit lately..... mostly in terms of the will to survive, to keep fighting for life.... not giving up.... especially when all hope seems lost.  What is it about that will to keep going?  And let me just say right here, this hasn't been because I've been thinking of throwing in the towel.... nothing could be further from the truth.  In fact, my only fear of dying is that I can't imagine being any happier than I am right now and (though I believe quite differently) what if..... what if???.....the next life isn't as good as this one?  Deep down I really know it will be more amazing than I can imagine, but I love my life!!  There's nothing I would change about it..... except maybe that  yucky 'L' word..... ya ...

.....the many other hi-ho's of my everyday life lately. Because I love the hi-ho's of my life!! The "unhealthy attachment".... to Ally, of course.  Since I want to keep her all to myself for eternity.... not share her with anyone....

Listening to Elder Holland.....  and if I could live by anything, set a standard to seek to live by, it would be what he just taught. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865612421/Elder-Jeffrey-R-Holland-Seek-opportunities-to-care-for-the-poor.html?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F And then from Sister Esplin this morning.... “I wish I had understood the sacrament in the way that Elder Jeffrey R. Holland described,” Sister Esplin said during the Saturday morning session of general conference. “He said, ‘One of the invitations inherent in the sacramental ordinance is that it be a truly spiritual experience, a holy communion, a renewal for the soul.’” Renewal.  I love that word. Abide with me; 'tis eventide. The day is past and gone; The shadows of the evening fall; The night is coming on. Within my heart a welcome guest, Within my home abide. O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide. O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis event...
