"As we make and keep commitments, even small commitments, we begin to establish an inner integrity that gives us the awareness of self-control and the courage and strength to accept more of the responsibility for our own lives. By making and keeping promises to ourselves and others, little by little, our honor becomes greater than our moods."
-Stephen R. Covey
Seven Habits, p. 92.
James left for the valley around 5 or 5:30. We had prayer together before he left. I went for a walk around 6 when it was nice and cool. Jared Ammon fixed breakfast for himself and Catherine after their run. They had eggs and toast. I guess Catherine really likes eggs.
They left to go fishing at Big Lake and Greer.
I am home alone again. I take a nap and then try to download pictures for my blog but the download icon never comes up. I am so frustrated and sad. I thought maybe I needed to upgrade my phone but after an hour it says that the upgrade failed and my phone loses the connection to itunes and I can't restore it. Now not only can't I download pictures, but I have no phone. This has not been my best day ever.
To calm myself down I watch a BYU devotional talk by Elder Donald Hallstrom on leading a reverent life. It is so good that I forget about my problems for awhile.
I am worried about having no phone tomorrow as I go to Silver City to pick up James Hayden. Jared Ammon suggested that I take my tablet and communicate via email with Tricia. Great idea!
There was a heat advisory in the valley today. The high was 110. Ben had football practice and forgot to bring water. He was desperate and kept texting Sheri to bring him water but she was at work. Ian Wanlass shared with him but I bet he doesn't forget his water again.
