Blast from the past

It's funny because the theme for Young Women's camp in out stake this year is Keepers of the Light and last year or so - time seems to be confused in my mind - this came to my mind. I understand there is CD called this also, I'm going to have to get it and see....

Keepers of the light.
Each one unique, we give to others who seek,
something no one else can give.
With joy we can live, what peace we can give,
To share any way we can,
As keepers of the light.
We may never know the affect we
have had on others looking for the light,
But it matters not for we follow the Lord
As keepers of the Light.

Talking of Books

So how many of you have already read this one? I know it is an author you know. Anyway, I really enjoyed it! It took me less than a day (with many interruptions to boot). Quick, good read. I want to read it again already! I may just have to start collecting her books.
Have you heard of any of a series called "Little Fur"? Adria has checked out a couple from school but I didn't get the chance to read them. I started the first one, but she had to return it before I got very far. Started out good though, not to mention the wonderful fuzzy cover.

Another Change

So when I changed the backgroung I thought I could just change it back. Nope. Can't figure that out.
I tried to change the colors but there was a 'page error'. Maybe I am just doing that wrong too. Anyway, it is going to be pea green for a while yet I guess...

Oh, and hooray for a new camera! I just might have to try the picture button again!

To Chang My Mind

I just wrote a whining post about money and medical bills and by the time I was through I mostly saw how I am an idiot and can't manage much. So to change my mind, I decided to list some more things I am thankful for.

I am thankful our house payment actually went down this year by almost forty dollars.
For my children being so healthy and smart.
For my wonderful childhood and extended families.
For the dear people who shared goodies and love for my birthday.
For a working dishwasher, heater, refrigerator, stove, and computer.
For those medical people who are patient with receiving payments from us. We do do our best.
For my mind being more clear.
For the scriptures.
For Landon's company throughout the day.
For good teachers at the elementary, and at church.
For sunshine, rain, and snowy.
For yummy food, and healthy food, we really have a bounty.
For exercise.
For hope and forgiveness.
For another day to keep trying.
For Mother's example.
For money not being what life is all about.
For looking forward to spending time with family (Manti pageant coming up for example, woot!)
For the hope that I can grow and change even though I still seem such a child in some things.
For the chastisement I felt from others that helps me see what I need to do better on.
For so many enjoyable things to do while I wait to 'meet my children at the crossroads'.
For being able to put things aside more readily (not perfectly) to attend to my children.
For living so close to family.
For living in Utah.
For being able to stay home so much.
For being able to get out so much.
For being free of stuff (can you believe what a burden it is to love things?).
For a basement that we can expand to fit everyone when we are able.
For being able to see my children grow and change, and even lead me.

Books and junk

I've put some of the books that were recommended on hold. I can't wait to open one up. For now Ammon has lent me his books Magyk and Flyte. Pretty good. I would like to get a hold of the second book to Leven Thumps again, but it might have to wait now I have all these others coming in. I'll do Enna Burning next. Oh, and I never knew there were sequels to The Giver! Great book I'll have to look them up too.....
Ah, not enough time in a day.

I'm in love with yoga all over again. My new favorite relax pose is the crocodile pose. My sides are a bit sore from twisting today. Somehow yoga both relaxes and energizes.

I sure am thankful for Landon today. It was great fun chasing him around and doing jumping jacks with him, and racing up and down the stairs. Lots of fun that is funny. Whatever will I do when he's in school? The last few days I've actually been cleaning in the mornings like I used to (Monday kind of stinks), and have been basically done by 11:00 am. Wonder if there is such a shift somewhere as 12:00-3:00? Maybe school is still on the horizon. Still have 2 1/2 years to go though. I might break down and put Landon in preschool next year to stave off boredom. We'll see.
