A sweet friend sent this to me today:
"Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest...it's about who came and never left your side."
What a lift this was to me today - not just the sentiment - but also the one who thought of me, and sent it on to cheer my heart.
Successful Saturday
Managed to see a movie: The Unitards. Fun teen movie (amateur take on Footloose) with local interest that had us laughing out loud. I splurged on a popcorn that The Husband helped me eat. I would so love it if they would make the portions more like the size you get from your microwave and charge like $2. I think they actually might make more money. They should ask me about this.
Managed to get some serious refining done on the hopes / plans for The Husband's office shelves. We'll see how it all plays out.
Managed to walk into a shoe outlet store and walk out without even trying any on. I stil say you can never have too many shoes.
Managed to use a couple of our Christmas gift cards: at the movie, and at Jamba Juice. Splurged there, also, on extra banana and a whey protein booster. Won't need dinner. (Yay, no cooking!)
Managed to remember that I wanted to note this quote I read in a book: "those who believe in us create an actual physical environment in which it becomes possible to succeed." I pretty much agree with this, but will further study it in my mind. At any rate, it makes a great sound-bite.
Managed to make it through the day with nary a whine. (At least that what I think I did...) Wow - that's what I really call success!

Hot Water
I'm in hot water again! And this time, it's a good thing. Our hot water is on circulation pump so that we have nearly instant hot water at any hot water outlet in the house. It's a huge luxury that I've never taken for granted. But....the other day the pump went out again. (These pumps are teeny things - roughly about $80 per square inch!)
We found a new pump online - that ended up being shipped from our bordering town. Took 3 days to get here - and no they don't have will-call or we would have just driven over, plunked down our several hundreds of dollars and had it installed days ago.
But, the pump arrived, The Husband (handy guy that he is) had it installed in only minutes and we are again in hot water. And I'm loving it.

Repentance
Still thinking about this. Still repenting. My emotions carry the rest of me along for the ride sometimes. And I let them do that more often than I should.
At this rate, I won't be allowed into Heaven until I'm about the age of Methusalah - roughly 900 + years. It will take me that long to repent of all that I've done that needs repenting of up to just this point in my life. And there's no telling how many more transgressions I'll commit that will need repentance.
Sigh....I think I underestimate the capacity and patience of our Heavenly Father. At least I'm hoping that's the case. I'll be needing a lot of His mercy.
