All In Perspective

On occasions, like most people I am sure, I think that I have a really hard life. As soon as I get sad or frustrated I am quickly reminded that I have it pretty good.

I have had one of those weeks. A week where I realize that I am not where I wanted to be in life. A week where I realize that I may have to wait longer than I wanted for things to happen. A week where I feel more alone.

Today, however, I saw some amazing friends who love me for me.
I laughed, and then laughed more.
When I got home I did some chores while Ardell bossed me.
Then we just sat outside and chatted.

It was a great day. Simple pleasures that remind me that Heavenly Father loves me. That I have value, and that I need to keep things in perspective.

Whenever you're having one of those days, come talk to me!
I think everybody has "one of those days".

And why do you let your mom boss you around?! She's not the boss of you!

Thanks friend! I had fun with you too! And Eugene told me that he thinks you have a 6 point attraction-face thing!

Ardell is the "Boss" of everyone while you are in her domain, which means within earshot. Oh I love that funny adorable old lady.

Seems like I have one of those days almost everyday for the last 25 years, but I just look forward to how great it will be tomorrow!

But good friends are always good.
