One of those weeks.....

So, this has been one of those weeks.  One of those weeks you "start anew" doing all the things you should and the things you hope to still be doing  in a year.  Friday has come with success.  Baby steps right?  Its been a fantastic week.  I have had a feeling and motivation and joy and accomplishment. When I have free time, I have found myself sincerely wanting to sit down with my scriptures, the Ensign or a conference talk.  I have found myself reading "A marvelous work and a wonder".  I have just had a great week filling my days with things "virtuous, lovely, or of good report".  A great week reminding myself that happiness does come from doing the small things the Lord asks.  A reminder to myself that My Heavenly Father does know and love me and that I am on the right path......:)

Love a little rain

"I love the rainy nights. I love the rainy nights. I love to hear the thunder, watch the lightning as it lights up the sky....you know it makes me feel good." 

If you know me well, you know the last part of this lovely Eddie Rabbit tune is not true.  I hate thunderstorms.  They make me nervous and its ridiculously silly how anxious they make me. I do, however love a nice rain.  That's what we have this morning.  Although it's putting a damper on my errands for the morning, it is awfully nice and relaxing.  Aileen was ready to go with a 3/4 length sleeve and a jacket and boots.....looked like she was headed off to school on a fall morning.  LOVE IT!  Fall is my favorite.  The whole fall/winter time is my favorite.  I love sitting on the couch in my OU snuggie watching football.....eating a nice bowl of beans and cornbread or homemade soup.....drinking hot chocolate......opening my windows to the crisp evening fall air......getting Halloween costumes.......getting ready for the Holidays.....I love it, Love it.  LOVE IT!!  This morning has made me remember that it's almost here and even though it's raining.....it brightened my day. :)
