The Middle East



"Sit on your porch and pluck your strings"... Life is so precious, and it's meant to be enjoyed.. This past week two of my closet friends lost loved ones, and another one of my closest friends mourned the two year anniversary of the death of her mother.  I can't help but think of how tender is a life.  We have been entrusted with a body and a family and loved ones.  We have such sacred responsibilities on this earth, and it's got me reflecting on the importance of loved ones.  Love is enduring and eternal.  Love's eternal nature connects us with loved ones no matter the distance.  I know that through the atonement of Jesus Christ we will all be resurrected and united together as eternal families, so for now just "sit on your porch and pluck your strings."

Happy Thanksgiving


In light of Thanksgiving... I'm grateful for Christmas.

"As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always"
--Thomas S. Monson--

And this is why I celebrate Christmas all year long, and Christmas music in July or August or September... sounds just as good as December.
