Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions:

 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 

A THOUGHTFUL Food 4 Thought Friday
Breakfast ~ What is consuming your thoughts currently?
My thoughts lately have been centered on how to balance everything – my checkbook, my work schedule, my relationship with God, my emotions, my family cares and worries, my health. 
I pretty much feel as though I am twirling plates in the air trying to make sure that none fall – and just as I start to feel like I have it under control more plates are added causing a whole new balancing act to begin.
Lunch ~ What is the most thoughtful thing you did this week?
I listened
Dinner ~ What is the most thoughtful thing someone else did for you this week?
A former student took me to lunch – we were just supposed to visit, but she insisted on buying my lunch.
Midnight Snack ~ If you could eliminate one of your reoccurring thoughts, what it would be?
The thought that I wish I could eliminate is the one that keeps telling me, “you are not enough”.
Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?)

I love your breakfast. I have to say I relate completely! Good thing we both had baton lessons so we learned how to twirl things! Hah Just didn't know it would end up being our lives! I often wonder how any of us do it!
Listening is such a gift.
Your midnight snack is also such a common theme among us women. Why do we continually think that? I love the quote, I have enough, I do enough, I AM enough! Easy to say but hard to accept. Thankfully the atonement makes up for where we fall short.
Great recipe!
THanks for playing!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile.

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our own axe-throwing lane in our backyard!  I believe t

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Mom is Coming Home

Image
We just got word today that mom can come home from Rehab tomorrow morning – a week earlier than we had expected. Needless to say, mom is thrilled at the prospects of being home again, and dad is quite excited also. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. Honestly, it has been very nice having mom in a place where I knew that they were taking very good care of her. The food there is fantastic, the workers are extremely pleasant and friendly, and her care was wonderful. She has gained an incredible amount of muscle strength through her two-a-day physical therapy sessions, and they are fanatical about making sure that her food and fluids are exactly what she needs. Consequently mom is actually in better overall health now than she has been in the last two years. It has been nice for me to have them watching over her continuously to make sure that she does what she is supposed to and also to make sure that she doesn’t cheat on her diet or fluid restrictions. It has been wonderful to take
