Hola!
There was once a girl who woke up and looked in the mirror, to find that she had on
ly three hairs on her head. “Oh, no,” she thought. “What am I going to do with these 3 hairs? I guess I will braid them,” which she did. Then she left, and she had a great day.
The next morning, she woke up and looked in the mirror, to find that she had only two hairs on her head. “Oh, no,” she thought. “What am I going to do with these 2 hairs? I think I will part them down the middle,” which she did. Then she left, and she had a great day.
The next day, she woke up and looked in the mirror, to find that she had one hair on her head. “Oh, no,” she thought. “What am I going to do? I think I will wear it in a ponytail,” which she did. Then she left, and she had a great day.
The next morning, she woke up and looked in the mirror, to find that all her hair was gone! She had no hair on her head. “Oh, no,” she thought. “What am I going to do? Well, I guess I don’t have to do my hair this morning!” Then she left, and she had a great day.
The moral of this story is about attitude! The lady in church who told this story, also gave examples in real life of having a good attitude.
So, my new goal is to try to grin and bear the little inconveniences of my days! Little inconveniences like: TODAY is DAY 9 of Frank being gone. (We may get him back for a few days next weekend, around Day 14 or so…)
Little inconveniences like: we have jumped through hoops for weeks. We were ONE DAY away from having the “for sale” sign out in the yard of our house, and…mini soap opera between the Realtor and the renters. Without dragging you through all the gory details, our best decision right now is to CHANGE realtors. Sigh. More delays.
Another inconvenience was: my Bagel Cut (see previous blog entry)!! Ugh.
However, we have had some good rain this week, desperately needed in desert-dry So Cal. Frank has his first week of work under his belt, and continues to acclimate, re-learning to drive in sleet and snow. I am inching my way through the garage, tossing what I can and donating other things. We had excellent talks in church today, and I taught the lesson in Relief Society. (The General Conference talks are so good.)
12-yr-old David is making stuffed manicotti for our dinner tonight (gotta love those cooking class requirements).
Happy New Year 2023

what a great story...i loved it.
ok ok, I will try and live with my inconveniences. Do I have to have a good attitude about all of them or can I pick and choose? Never mind, don't answer that. Cute story, I hope when I have to give a talk in Sacrament this is my topic. Can you believe we have lived here for 19 months and haven't had to speak yet? Use the realtor we used, Pam and Sigi! They were great!
that is a cute story-and cute graphics! You always seem to have a postive outlook on life-at least in Mexico you did- you were a good example for me. :)
Sorry about the bagle cut. :( At least we know why they happen so often now (thank Mark)
