There was snow on the ground this morning when I looked outside. Later it melted, but then more came down. We are grateful for the moisture.
I am miserable. I slept most of the day on my recliner chair in the bedroom. After taking some pain pills I got up and did a couple of chores.
Tom slept most of the day because he was out so late last night. Besides, he doesn't like to be outside when it is cold and wet. He slept on the recliner with me for quite awhile.
James was busy doing office work most of the day. This evening he made a trip to town just for me. He bought me some hot & sour soup and a DPZ Polar Pop. The soup and soda felt so good on my sore throat.
James and I are both racing through our latest Regency romance book, "This Above All." I was actually a head of him in my reading so he asked if he could walk with my book to catch up.
I studied from my book, "Forgiving What You Can't Forget." The woman who wrote this book, Lysa Terkeurst, is not LDS but she has a lot of spiritual insight and knows the only way to be happy in certain situations is to turn them over to the Lord. She says, Forgiveness is the only step that leads to anything good. The peace from forgiveness is more satisfying than revenge."
This is from a woman who was sexually abused as a child, had her father leave as a child, a drunk driver ran into their home and they had to cancel her 9th birthday party. Her one and only sibling, a younger sister whom she was very close to died, lightning struck her car, she got hit by a golf ball on the golf course, and her husband cheated on her. These are just a few things she has endured, things that have ultimately made her stronger. I admire her so much.
