October 2, 2017

I woke early to grind out some miles on the exercise bike.  I enjoyed the quiet moment to listen to the Priesthood session talks.  I rode so hard and fast in hopes of helping my marathon chances that I made my legs extremely sore!  I decided I better spend the rest of the week resting my muscles.  But I'm so nervous for the marathon on Saturday.  I can't believe the week has come!!

Today my brother-in-law, Jaron, is getting an MRI.  He's been having random moments of confusion throughout the day.  We are all very nervous.  With his family's history of brain cancer, MLS, and the possibility of seizures or MS, we all feel worried that something is terribly wrong.  I've been praying with all of my heart for Joni and Jaron.

Other than that, today was my normal Monday.  Cleaning, working, carpooling, dinner and family home evening.  I love that General Conference always gives me the desire to do better.  I'm glad that it comes around every six months.  It's like my batteries start to run low, and then I get a charge and I'm back to full speed.

Greg says my emotions are still all over the place, and I'm definitely still grieving, but my heart and soul want to be happy.  I keep finding myself residing in a happy space.  My default emotion is happy.  I'll cry, I'll feel sad, and then before I know it, I am feeling lifted up with joy.  I am so grateful for all those who have prayed for our family.  I feel those prayers.  I feel the Spirit lifting me up.  I am so very thankful.
