Hmmmmm! Shouldn't have looked in the mirror this morning! Out poured a whole bunch of complaints about the image I saw! I won't go into them or I should be here for over an hour..... :( ! But then something happened. Somehow the memory of who I am crept into my thoughts and reminded me that I am a daughter of God. I am His little girl, born to Him and in His Image and Heavanly Mother's image! I was their treasure and joy and was beautiful to them! As I grew and was an obedient spirit, I was told I could go down to earth and get a physical body like theirs. I shouted for joy at the prospect of having skin and bones and a beautiful full functioning body!! The plan was to cloth that exact image and spirit body that was mine! My job would be to love and nourish that body and to keep it healthy and strong. Love that body...... hmmm! Not doing to good at that one....! Ok now to do some rethinking and reprogram my inner thoughts of who I am! The process only formed the skin and bones around its potential spirit body. Now for a relook in the mirror with a grateful heart!!!
New attitude!! With a grateful heart, I can look and see fingers and hands that have unlimited potential; arms, legs, back, neck, head, eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, ears,hair,feet,toes, all of which are fully functioning and capable of all their potential. My physical health is intact and I enjoy life and the energy created by it. I LOVE MY BODY, and am so grateful to my Heavanly Father for it and all the capabilites he has promised me in the use of this body! How I treat this body matters, but getting old, frumpier looking, wrinkled, and saggy are just part of that process I agreed upon and shouted for joy for! My body and I are "in it" for life!!! My spirit and my body are now getting better acquainted and I love the "end" at which we are all going to become together as one! Yep! I think the mirror just changed! It is a beautiful, loving, compassionate, sensitive daughter of God that stares back at me in my mirror image! I THINK I AM FALLING IN LOVE!!

A little about me
- Familes are forever
- Currently I am working at the temple and I love it! I also work at LDS family services as a volunteer cordinator (with unwed birth mothers). I have started doing Family Geneology research and I have been very successful at it. I am always up for a good bargin at a thirt store or yard sale. My two best frieds would have to be my turtles, Daisey and Elsie. I can always count on them to listen to my stories. You could often find me sitting by my fireplace with good book or my scriptures. I have since updated as of 4/21/10: I NOW HAVE 2 BEAGLE AKC PUPPIES. TEA, 12 MOS., IS KHAKI COLOR AND CALLI, 5 MOS., IS LEMON COLORED. THEY HAVE BECOME MY BEST FRIENDS (OF COURSE, AFTER MY OWN CHILDREN AND SPOUSES AND GRANDCHILDREN!) THEY MAKE ME LAUGH, GET OUT OF BED AT A DECENT HOUR, GET ME GOING ON WALKS DAILY, PLAYING AND BEING LESS SELFISH. THEY TEACH ME MUCH ABOUT LIFE, LIVING, AND , YES, EVEN ABOUT PEOPLE! ONLY DRAWBACK IS THEY PUT MY TRAVELING TO VISIT KIDS ON SORT OF A HOLD TILL THEY GET A LITTLE BIGGER.... :( Wow this was written ages ago!! I currently have 19 grandkids (but 2 are still incubating :) ) My 8 children and spouses are scattered all over United States. Life is good!!!
