Wednesday

...is today, which means that it is almost a whole week that has passed since I posted about my new plans to write about my spiritual progresses.

Well, I believe I have been progressing, but I just have not been writing.

There's just so much living going on that sometimes it's hard to take a step back and write about it.

However, I read last week that D&C 25 is intended to apply to all Relief Society sisters.  I read it again, I thought, holy cow, this really does apply to me.  I particularly liked this verse:

"...thy time shall be given to writing, and to learning much" (verse 8).

I need to do more with writing, but learning much?  Oh yes, that is me these days.

I am learning about finances.  About budgeting.  About baking bread.  About "The Top 10 Foods You Need to Eat" (from a book that is amazing and changing my life, of course).  About taking care of an almost 5 month old little girl.  About being a wife.  About being a friend.  About serving.  About having charity.  About blogging.  About gardening--at least indoors.  About making homemade donuts.  About hanging ghosts made of white towels from my ceiling for a Halloween party.  About reading.  About being able to just plain reach outside myself.

Learning and progress.

Cheers for today.  Off to eat my baked oatmeal and quinoa.  (Quinoa--the wonder grain-- is one of the Top 10, of course.  I'll also remember that it would be an excellent use of a Q for Scrabble.)
