Life is Good

Sometimes I get to feeling pretty beat up, run down, and just dog-tired. I feel like my patience is dangling by a thread and I blow up at the smallest of things. I'm so grateful for a husband who puts up with me and my episodes. There are always those days when I wonder if anything I says is being heard. I guess that is why I love General Conference so much. I love the way I feel when it is over. I feel like I have just gotten a booster shot for the next 6 months, an extra shove forward, a little encouragement and a small pat on the back telling me that I'm doing okay. Far from perfect, and needing improvement, but doing okay. Some days the small things that I should be doing are SO hard and other days I wonder what the big deal is and why I ever struggle. I am so thankful for our inspired Prophet, President Monson, and for his remarks about gratitude. I loved that talk. All of the talks made me want to be a little better and try a little harder. Life is good. It really is.
