I love having .. space .. to be myself. I feel that this is the space that I am able to share thoughts and feelings I have with anyone who stumbles across it. I am also glad that these things will be recorded in an orderly fashion for me to recall in later years. I have a prediction that Alzheimer's diesease may be in the future for me so I would love to entertain myself by reading of previous days. We all forget, some more than others and this is my .. space .. to record away to share with the world and myself someday.
I started receiving the emails from MOPS International recently, every Tuesday. I look forward to something new in my inbox that I don't consider junk mail. I start with browsing through article titles that caught my eye and read those first. Today, I stumbled across one of those "I really really needed that today" posts that I just loved alot. I am going to start linking back to my favorites here, because any other way of saving my favorites would be more difficult.
"Courage in the Mundane"
Love love love it. This very subject is what has been on my mind lately. The mundane, the day to day living for the next upcoming event, those in between moments that you won't really remember. How to fill our time with meaningful activites that will breathe purpose, life, happiness into EACH DAY.
It actually made me think of one of my new favorite talks:
"Prepared in a Manner That Never Had Been Known" by Sister Linda K. Burten
I love to remind myself that every single good deed we do is recorded in heaven, whether we receive praise for it on earth or not. That the little acts of service we do for others means something, no matter the size. The Lord does have a specific, individual and unique calling for everyone. We need to be the ones still enough to hear what those are... everyday.
SO, I loved the article I read about courage and how she worded everything. I also hope, by reading all these articles that as I "practice" writing on this blog, I will be able to display feelings through words in an intriguing way to someday have an article there too. Catch the right subject at the right time in the right emotion and the words will flow from my brain to my fingertips.
