Today is Friday the 13th. My Mom always said it was her good luck day. I think that's because her birthday was on the 13th. I'm going to call it my good luck day too in honor of my Mom.
I read an article about Elaine Dalton and her love for running. It went something like this: Question - You love running: what first got you hooked on it?
Sister Dalton's answer: "I didn't always love to run. When I first started it was hard. I would run ten steps and walk ten steps. But I persisted and it is in the daily habits that we gain strength and power. I never dreamed I would run a marathon, let along 17 of them. But looking back, it was the daily habit that made the difference. Anything we persist in doing becomes easier. Now I can't imagine my life without a morning run. It makes me happy."
Sister Dalton is the Church's General Young Women's President. Because of her I am going to start incorporating a morning walk/run in my routine.(Who am I kidding, I can't run.)
Friday is my errand day. On my way to do my grocery shopping I went by the Stonebridge apartments to drop off a birthday gift for Allison Warren, a sister in our ward whom we rarely see. I talked to Allison on the phone and left the gift at the door. I hope that she knows that we in the Relief Society love and care for her.
James is trying to get our house re-financed in order to lower the monthly payment. He is "jumping through hoops" for the bank and asked me the amount of money I took in draws last year. It was around $48,000. My goal this year is to lower that to $39,000.
James and I watched one of our favorite T.V. shows this evening, "Person of Interest."
We were in bed and ready to go to sleep by 9 pm.
