Today's mantra is more of a reminder: "I am not the general manager of the universe!"
It's a good thing I'm not general manager of the universe.
YSA
The highlight of our week was getting letters from a couple of our former YSA's, now missionaries. Very, very fabulous.
Finally, today, a month after we were told we were being released from our calling as YSA Advisors, we were released.
It's been well over 5 years with the YSA's - first in the Branch and then the ward. So, I've been expecting a change. I was ready for it. Time to grow in another way.
But now, I'm feeling a bit protective of all our little "chicks". I so want them to be ok - watched out for - loved. And after my prayers that this would all take place within Heavenly Father's will, I have to trust it will be so.
No new callings for either of us. I'm betting they're putting us out to pasture, like they can do with us old-ordinary-low-maintenance members.

Productive
This Saturday was productive: The Husband was a whirlwind of activity - fertilizing the lawn, cleaning the solar panels, fixing the mailbox. And we still had time to take in a movie: Larry Crowne. I decided that the summer movie season hasn't been a total loss - we've seen two great movies - Larry Crowne and Midnight in Paris.
(Still wonder, though why the "f" word has to be said every time. Note to Julia Roberts - It's so unbecoming for you to use that language!)
Lunner at Toscano's with friends was fun and interesting, I think the waiter was soused.
And tonight's thought of gratitude: I'm grateful I don't have to teach YSA tomorrow!

Thoughts
Sitting yesterday in a large room with about 35 people, all quiet, no talking. There were so many thoughts floating in the air you could almost feel their pressure. I felt like I could reach out, pluck a thought and sit and commune with it for awhile.
Still wondering why all those dog owners don't understand that "all dogs must be on a leash" applies to those people with dogs. Not those people without dogs.
Weird that it's nearly the 4th of July. Not feeling particularly festive. Perhaps I should spring for a box of "poppers." Do they come in a mondo size? (Not the box, the poppers, for an extra large POP - uuhh - explosion.
Talked to the service guy at the Toyota dealership. He was incredulous that after having my car for 10 months I still only have 2500 miles on it. Can wait for an oil change 'til the car's 1st birthday. I think I need to get out of the house more.
Still chuckling about the guy in the Prius yesterday - zooming past us in the car. Seriously - that Prius wants to race The Charger?
