Up at 5:14 to feed the cats, and take my blood pressure and blood sugar. I had a cookie, some fresh pineapple and a turkey sausage for breakfast. 

After personal gospel study and "Come Follow Me" with James I got ready and James and I went to town. We went to our accountants and signed income tax documents and then took them home so we could write a check and send them off.

When we finished at the accountants James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to Lowe's and Tractor Supply and spent over $80. We also spent $40 for gas and $243.94 for groceries. Yikes!
I bought mostly meat and veggies for meals and whole grain bread. I did also buy a pair of white tennis shoes and denim capri pants. Clothes come out of our discretionary budget and so do prescriptions and medical supplies. James wanted to stop at Culver's on the way home for lunch. I got a Butter Burger and a cod fillet sandwich.

At rest time I watched a Hallmark movie about hat making during the Kentucky Derby. 

We had some snow flurries this afternoon and Mt. Mantoso had snow on it.

Notes & Quotes
"The healthy, fruitful tree of faith requires intentional effort. And a vital part of that effort is making sure we are firmly rooted in Christ." - D. Todd Christofferson

D&C 45:1
Hearken, O ye people of my church, to whom the kingdom has been given; hearken ye and give ear to him who laid the foundation of the earth, who made the heavens and all the hosts thereof, and by whom all things were made which live, and move, and have a being.

Forgiving What We Can't Forget
"Forgiveness releases our need for retaliation, not our need for boundaries."
