Wow, I just watched the first session of conference. I've been praying for answers to some issues in my life. Many of the talks this morning were directed to me. I'm so grateful for the gospel in my life. I felt the answers of having hope, simplyfying my life, and learning to be more open to the spirit of the Holy Ghost. This week has been tough-I
have such mixed emotions about my church callings-I adore my primary class and activity days and The drama calling in our stake has allowed me to express talents and the love I have of writing. I will truly miss these callings. I know that Julie needs me at this time in her presidency and I am willing to be dedicated in serving my ward sisters. There are many lives in our ward that need to be touched. I am having a huge conflict on what jobs I need to do with work-three is overwhelming somedays. I just can't decide what to do. It would be wonderful to have nights and Sundays off. I'd miss the mall, it's a fun and colorful job, but that's the way I'm leaning at this time.
The fall has been so magnificent-the tress and mountains are so colorful. Our baby peach tree has glorious leaves on it, they are so small and cute. The roses and other flowers are still blooming strong and I'm getting a few veggies from the garden still. I love nature and it's beauty and diversity. Al and I had four wonderful days together last weekend-I miss him tons and look forward to having him home each time he comes. It's raining today and the temperature has dropped alot. I'm not ready for the cold-of course I'm that way every year. The snow and freezing temperatures are just too dreary.
I put up Halloween decor this week-I had decided not to, but I'm glad I did. I love October and the holiday and fun colors, treats, witches and ghosts. I've been putting Halloween things together for the kids this week-it's fun.
I'm looking forward to going to Colorado next week-hope the weather clears up.
One last thing....I hit 148 this week that's 30 pounds lost and I feel so much better and my clothes fit. I'm trying to live healthier and also learn new things. I have lots of skills I want to learn, countries and people I want to study and knowledge I want to gain.
Happy fall to all and I love you. Vic
