I Have Fought a Good Fight

"May we resolve from this day forward to fill our hearts with love. May we go the extra mile to include in our lives any who are lonely or downhearted or who are suffereing in any way. May we "cheer up the sad and make someone feel glad." May we live so that when that final summons is heard, we may have no serious regrets, no unfinished business, but will be able to say with the Apostle Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."
~ Thomas S. Monson

Nothing!

Did you ever think nothing would be a positive thing???? Well, I guess that is not so hard to imagine....! I haven't done my blog for so long, I figure no one even checks it out anymore. Maybe I can redeem myself, and come back!!!


A while back, Norm bought me a small camera that I could carry in my purse so that I could take pictures for my blog. It worked for a while and I had a lot of fun, but the thing has been in my purse now for sometime, unused. Sorry.


I just have a totally normal, uneventful life!!!! I don't have kids to tell stories about. Well, I guess I do, but they each have their own blogs and do a much better job than I. No, I am not having a "pity party", and feeling sorry for myself......just thinking that a normal, uneventful life is a good thing.....to a point! No sickness, etc.


I have been busy trying to catch up with "life after garden", and have been working on Christmas. It has been fun.


I'm just a run of the mill grandma, and that is a good thing too. ( Maybe my family would differ with that) My grandchildren are all healthy and strong. They all have shelter, good parents and are doing very well. I love them dearly...each and every one of them. I have wonderful children and children in law. They are good to us, each other, and good to my grandchildren.


What more could a person ask for???


Oh yea, I have a good husband who is good to me, and is healthy and strong. As some of you know, that is a miracle in itself!!!! 07 and 08 were pretty rough, but here we are!!!!!

( I have to tell you a little bit of a funny story! I went to the hospital to get some blood work done and an ultra-sound. When I got the order from the doctor, she said to just go to the admitting office and get myself admitted. (not to the looney-bin) So, I walked through the door, and couldn't find the admitting office, because I had forgotten which hospital I was in!!!!! For so long, we have bounced back and forth from Utah Valley, to American Fork, to Timpanogos!!! I went to the information desk and said that I had forgotten which hospital I was in and asked where the office was. It was right in front of me!!! Now, don't you think I felt like an idiot!!!!)

This time of year give us all much time to contemplate what we are grateful for and how we can be worthy of the many blessings we have, not only at this time of year, but during the whole year. That has been what I have been thinking about too.










As with most of us, there could never be a list long enough, of the things that we are grateful for. Here are just a few of mine, but like I said, the list is far from complete!

"We can only said to be alive in those moments that our hearts are conscious of our treasures."

You know I agree that sometimes nothing is good. We haven't had much to blog about and it's kinda nice :) no drama!
