Beautimous

July 20, 2008

Okay, so I was going to show you all how lovely a pedicurist Cinderella is… But the stupid “attach file” button won’t work.
Grr.
Suffice it to say, she and I both have lovely multicolored toenails now.

Ah-ha! Figured it out. Aren’t you glad?

She gets her ugly pinky-toes from me, as you can see. You’re welcome, dear.

This all happened during D’s nap Friday… Also the same day I walked by the bathroom and found her gazing into the mirror.

“My face is pretty,” she said to herself.

I stifled a laugh.

“Mommy!”

“Yes?”

“My face is pretty.”

As if she hasn’t heard that from every relative she’s got every time she sees them.

That's a very good question.
I am happy to hear from you, thrilled to hear from you!, but I am also content to have you drop by, read a little, laugh a little, and move on quietly to whatever else you have to do. This is a guilt-free blog. ;)

Just a Reminder…

The Church is not a place where perfect people gather to say perfect things, or have perfect thoughts, or have perfect feelings. The Church is a place where imperfect people gather to provide encouragement, support, and service to each other as we press on in our journey to return to our Heavenly Father. ~Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, (May 2005 Ensign)

Why I Try

God expects you to have enough faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future (that sounds pretty grim and stoic); He expects you to embrace and shape the future - to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities. God is anxiously waiting for the chance to answer your prayers, and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe.

~Jeffrey R. Holland, "This, the Greatest of All Dispensations"

"It is not for you to be led by the women of the world; it is for you to lead the...women of the world, in everything that is praise-worthy, everything that is God-like, everything that is uplifting and... purifying to the children of men." Joseph F. Smith, in this talk by Elder Ballard
