A good Day.... for a little while

Ever since Jessie died I find that there are times I need a break from the world and some me time. Goodness knows if I can't have a little time to myself to just let go and deal with everything I will likely explode. Sometimes it's just too hard.
This weekend was a big help for me. Lisa was away having mother daughter weekend time. She nicely invited me to go there on Saturday night for an American idol slumber party but I knew if I went I would never wake up and go to church like I really wanted to today. I felt like church was more important for me to attend today for some reason. Let me tell you, I loved every minute of it. I was truly happy and felt so much peace there and I needed it soooooooooo much. I miss those feelings and I know that is where Jessie would want me to be. I am trying so hard to live better just like Jessie did. If I am going to be as good a person as he was I need to try and do everything in my power in this life. I miss him and I can't afford to slip up and never see him again. I have to do the small things and that will make the biggest impact.
I went to a CES fireside this evening. It was wonderful. President Monson was the speaker. You know how you feel like he is speaking right at you.... I know he was. Granted others probably won't get the same message that I got from his talk. I came home quite happy after that. It was so nice to feel happy for a little while. I wish I could feel that every single day.
I am so lucky to have a knowledge of the gospel. I know I would be completely lost without it.


A little poem from Monson's Talk:

Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
Beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honour, power, place, and praise
Will come, in time, to the one who stays.

Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too;
For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile
Will come life's victories, after awhile.
