I wish I could have taken a picture. I had just ordered a fruit smoothie at McDonald’s in the Walmart on 1300 S. Two blind guys stood just outside the McDonald’s and the first guy says, “Is this customer service?” The girl behind the counter didn’t miss a beat. Without a hesitation, she left herContinue reading “Customer Service”

Today was a great Monday! I am training two weekend warriors to take over for the last guy who moved to Denver. Because Mike was here training, I was able to go with family to lunch! Nick is super tall. Much taller than I remember. The kid is a giant!  We ate at California PizzaContinue reading “Delicious”

Today was wonderful. I think I packed more into today than I probably should have, but it was worth it. I talked to my brother Nick on the phone for a good 3 hours. It was wonderful to just hear about his mission. He is such an amazing person. Today at church, the choir sangContinue reading “A Day of Rest… ha ha ha”

Sorry about the negative post yesterday. I was disgustingly sad yesterday. I kept crying. That was the most annoying part of yesterday. Tears were a combination of hormones, stress, and a lingering depression that I’m trying to kick right now. The fact is–I get depressed. Right after my mission, a doctor told me I wasContinue reading “Joy and Misery”

So what does one post on days when one is feeling like a proverbial pile of poo? I could post various piles of poo and draw smiles on the piles of poo and caption them: Me. I could post a super sad song list. I could pretend to be chipper and make up a pretendContinue reading “I’m Annoyed”

 What on earth is my nephew Konner doing in the Salt Lake International Airport?  He cheers!  He flexes!  He…umm…Zombies? He shakes his groovy groove thang.  Oh!  His Uncle Nick is home from Sweden today!! Guess who made the sign?  That’s right… I am wicked with cutting out letters! (Can I say wicked when talking aboutContinue reading “Happy Happenings at the Airport”

I just read a wonderful talk by Carolyn J. Rasmus called “The Enabling Power of The Atonement”. I was struck by a number of things. She was telling a friend in need scriptures that would comfort her. She says, “As each scripture came to my mind, I felt that I was being prompted by theContinue reading “Be Not Afraid”

Today I am grateful for reasons and reason. I am grateful for a reason to get out of bed, for a reason to look forward, a reason to love, and reason to smile. I am grateful my reason that teaches me that in the face of adversity, I have faced mountains, and come off conquerorContinue reading “Reasons and Reason”

It was a short conversation. Probably meaningless to my boss. He recounted a conversation he had with another colleague looking to work with the company.  He said that I was his ace in the hole.  Me! He didn’t need to tell me about the conversation, but he did.  And it made me smile. Today, IContinue reading “Ace In The Hole”

I am struggling to honor my goals this weekend.  I wish I could understand this urge I have to rebel against good things for myself. I have done good things this weekend, but for some reason I’ve intentionally avoided meditation, scripture study, and prayer. I even stopped myself from blogging yesterday in an effort toContinue reading “Thinking”
