Or that I want to, but can't? :) 'Cause I honestly do feel like life is one giant merry-go-round that I can't seem to find my way off of to rest for a while! (No - I don't want to die!! I just want to rest and get well, but life does not stop for that. Know what I mean?) OK, I think I'm going a little crazy with this analyzing of completely random answers to life questions!!! LOL!

Funny how there are actually a few great answers from such a random thing! It was fun listening to all these songs - many of which I hadn't listened to in a while. I have decided to enjoy the shuffle feature more often. Don’t laugh at all the Michael McLean. I like me some Sunday -and other days- uplifting music! lol And how good is the ancient music of Howard Jones?? :D

Happiness Is...
Parents who are awesome enough, and who love my son enough, that they would take him to St. George for 4 days with them.
4 sweet days of peace and quiet!
Resting whenever I need to without guilt.
Cleaning, and having things stay clean.
Using my energy for things I want (not just need) to do!
Talking to Jake on the phone and hearing about the fun time he's having and the friends he's hanging out with.
Hugging my sweet kid when he comes home safe and sound from a fun trip!
Thanks for taking him Mom and Dad - I feel refreshed and ready to handle life again.

"This little church showed up on my right..."
I thought this was a cool story. I love the fact that the Lord was preparing her and that she had found BYU-TV on her own. I have wondered what people do when they come across that channel if they aren't members. This cute lady was really ready to join the church.

:Dorothy Wagner doesn't really care if she remembers dates of events in her life. "I don't attempt to weigh myself down with them," said the 104 year old.
Dorothy Wagner joined the Church at age 103, perhaps one of the oldest to be baptized. She does know, however, that it was Easter Sunday a year ago when she turned her 1987 Cadillac into the parking lot of the meetinghouse for the Ash Flat Branch, North Little Rock Arkansas Stake. "I didn't know what the Church was," she said. "I was just out driving around. It was Easter. This little church showed up on my right." The petite, less than 5-feet-tall centenarian walked in and introduced herself. Branch members remember her declaring, "I'm here!" But she recalls it was more like, "Where am I?" And she was delighted when she discovered it was the same church as her favorite television channel, BYU-TV, where she most enjoys programs featuring the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the scripture roundtable discussions. "I stay up all night listening to the scripture discussions. I just love to hear them." So at age 103, Dorothy Wagner became a member of the Church, perhaps one of the oldest to be baptized. She has made an impact. She was the featured speaker on Sept. 27 at the North Little Rock Arkansas Stake Center for a dinner prior to the broadcast of the 2008 General Relief Society Meeting. "We're just in awe of this lady," said Kathleen Bassman, branch Relief Society president. She said Sister Wagner still lives alone in her nearby home. "She is just happy and laughs and jokes. Everyone just loves her. She loves the Lord and is not afraid to tell anybody and she loves the Church." "What I appreciate are the members are so sweet and good and helpful. They have all the qualities that Church people should have," Sister Wagner said. She was born on Sept. 2, 1904. She and her husband, Howard, who died in 1983, had two sons.

Perspective
Hi!
So... I feel pretty un-bloggy at the moment. But I thought I would share someone else's blog post that inspired me. This blog is written by an LDS girl who lives in Lehi or Alpine or somewhere around there. I found her blog through some other crafty blogs. Her post is called "passion and life's callings." I love that she celebrates the mundane. I have found housework so monotonous, endlessly repetitive, and seemingly unworthwhile that I fight it. You do the dishes and clean the floor, and guess what? It is all a mess again the next day. It can be very tiresome. I think it makes a big difference if you are not spit on for what you use all your energy doing, like Keith did (sorry for the negativity there) and that left a bad taste in my mouth for something I did once have more of an appreciation and excitement for. I need to let that go somehow. Kelly's post gave me a fresh perspective! Check it out here. It IS all worth it. It blesses everyone in the home...the people we care about the most. When the household runs smoothly, there is more peace and enjoyment. We feel taken care of. And that is what home is all about. What about finding enjoyment in simple domesticity again? I know the end product would make me feel better. What about having clean clothes hanging in your closet, and fresh towels after the shower? What about looking around the kitchen and not seeing piles of paper and things to do? What if I didn't have that always hanging over me? Can I get over the apathy I feel? How do you feel about housework? Is it trivial or meaningful? Fulfilling or drudgery?
