Time Out: Something to Sing About

Last week was - I don't even know how to describe it, and don't really want to think about it long enough to come up with the right word. Out if it all I'm grateful for the many people who gave their time, talents and love to help me. And I did see many miracles that reminded me of the Lord's love. But it was still not a very happy week; don't get me wrong many more, worse things could have happened. But it was still quite the week. By Friday night I had had it. Through the tears I finally bowed in prayer and asked what I could do to make things better. And the thought that came strongly was that I needed to take a break. Not try to catch up on all the dozens of things I hadn't done and needed to do. But just go away and rest for awhile. So I called Rachel and made a date for the next day.
I woke up Saturday morning feeling better already. I was still home during the morning but I just focused on accomplishing a couple of "have to" things and then headed to Heber. I realized as I was walking out to the car that I had been singing all morning. Lots of different songs. I also realized that I couldn't remember the last time I was singing (impromptu songs that is). It made me happy! And grateful for simple, but wonderfully perfect answer to prayers. Ask and ye shall receive.
Rachel and I went snowshoeing up a mountain in Midway/Heber. It was sunny, warm, and gorgeous. The snow was still cold, but it was a beautiful day. We both forgot our cameras, so you can just imagine up a nice picture in your head. Relaxing at her house afterward was equally enjoyable.
Now I feel refreshed and invigorated. :)
