Today has been a really weird day...weird for the way I have been feeling and the thoughts that I have had. When you go through trials its so easy to have "Pity Parties" for yourself but I have been reminded many times today that what we are going through is not the end of the world and my life will continue to go on and that I should just appreciate ALL of the wonderful things that Heavenly Father has blessed us with, and to look for the things that can be learned from having lived through the trials. I am so sad to hear of President Faust's death this morning he is such an amazing person and I will miss his wonderful talks at Conference.

"In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things and happy in SMALL ways"

Amen to that. I couldn't believe he died before Prez Hinckley. Josh called and so did Amber telling me about it since it's all over the news there. Surely, not in Cali would you hear about the death of such a great man, how sad. He was truly one of my faves.

Trials truly are a blessing in disguise. They are so hard when we are in the middle of them but they strengthen us and change us in ways nothing else could. It's good that you are looking for the positive! What a great quote from President Faust. We are here if there is anything you need!
