I was chatting with my younger sister a while back about keeping a journal. She is serving with the YW in her ward, and they had a guest speaker come (from BYU, if I remember right) and talk about some of the nuances of keeping a journal. One of the things she told the group was to write down some of the unpleasant things that happen. If your daughter, for instance, is going through a hard time in later life and she reads mom's journal -- and everything is peaches and cream, she may think she's doing something wrong. This speaker said it's good and therapeutic to give potential readers a realistic perspective on life. SOOO.... this is one of
THOSE entries.
Things that STRESS me out:• Broken solar panels
• Generators that won’t start
• Firewood that isn’t split/stacked
• Solar inverters that “error” and I can’t fix it
• Circuit breakers that trip for no apparent reason
• Flat tires
• Swine Flu vaccination – do I or don’t I
• Flu on top of pregnancy
• Husband that is unavailable
• Running low on propane
• Winter season approaching
Sigh........ and yet, another day cometh and goeth.
(Caveat: I'm REALLY REALLY grateful for good friends and neighbors-- they are truly a God Send!!!)
