General Relief Society meeting

I loved Pres. Uchtdorf's talk tonight...He talked about Forget-Me-Nots being such a tiny over looked flower...but beautiful and important. he gave 5 points to remember...

1. Forget not to be patient with yourself !! It is part of your mortal experience to have weaknesses. Stop punishing yourself. Be patient and compassionate with yourself ! You have many unnoticed successes !

2.Forget not the difference between good sacrifice and foolish sacrifice. Am I committing my time and energies to the things that matter the most ?

3.Forget not to be HAPPY now ! Talking about Willy Wonka...Don't wait for you "golden ticket " to be happy. Don't put your happiness on hold. Don't be disappointed, withdrawn or lonely. If you spend your time expecting perfect big roses, you may miss the simple beauty of the Forget-me-nots. Treasure the everyday moments.

4.Forget not the WHY of the gospel. Practicing the gospel is not an obligation...it is a pathway to follow. Seek out the joy and majesty of the Why.

5. Forget not that the Lord loves YOU. You are NOT forgotten, where ever you are, what ever the circumstances may be. No matter how you feel..your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. He knows you and your name. Allow his Divine Love into your life.

Did I mention that I was sick as a dog for a day and a half sstarting two Sundays ago..in Utah . On the way home our car's check engine light came on and stayed on..and it had no get up and go.. We had an 11 hour power outage here the day after we got home..We got the car into the shop and paid 2 thousand to get it out again..{ catalytic converter , pv something, battery, and ?} Life...so tricky...having a great time !..

I made...

Zucchini bread...too much flour=cracked. I have always wanted to do this on a wall since I saw it a the restaurant years ago with Jill in SLC. It helps define the dining area of my great room. The first time I have ground and used used white wheat to make bread. Delicious ! {Melissa Daniels' recipe.}

I buy my shirts in the boys dept. the sleeves are long enough that way. I decided to put graphics on these nice cheap thermals for fall. {these shirts were from Nordstrom Rack } All the same shirts...just color variations.

Peter Pan's dagger is made from a large paint stir stick. I don't know why it is upside down.
