Note to Self #1
25 Feb
Dear Self,
You’ve had quite the few days. Who wouldn’t like to be the strong girl – who never worried about her self-image and didn’t have up & down days and who could shake it of by simply saying “We all have this problem to deal with” chuckle to herself, and go about her day. I too, sometimes feel like the Joker in Batman saying “WHY SO SERIOUS!?”
Truth is, everyone has their bucket of worries they carry around. If you didn’t have this – you’d have something else equally as stressful.
Remember what you read in the scriptures yesterday – and take comfort,
25. … Therefore I say unto you, ctake no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than draiment?
26 Behold the afowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the alilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin;29 And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, even so will he clothe you, if ye are not of little faith.31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?32 For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
– 3 Nephi 13: 25-34
Fact is, the Devil is smart and crafty. He knows how to make a cookie look good at the worst moment, make you depressed when you need to exercise the most – and is a master craftsman at making that shirt/pants look completely distorted on you in the mirror. Reality is – you were given a gift of a body, cherish it. Love it when you hate the most, feed it with good and nourishing food and learn to see it as God sees it. The more time you waste being picky with it – the less time you have to do the work you were sent down here to do. As the scriptures above say, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take there fore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things itself.”
You’ll get there. But you’ll only get there with Love – learned first.
First baby step practiced:
Love you, ♥

Hero just loves his dog. It’s the ultimate compliment when Hero does this to you. Whenever Clark or I lay on the couch with a furry blanket that we have, within 2 min Hero hops on and does this. We just got this stuffed animal dog the other day – I KNEW Hero would get attached. It has that “special fur” :
Fat Day!
