Could I Be That Forgiving

I am so glad I saw this today.. I woke up with another kinked neck which means I was slightly disgruntled. I figured I would do all my interneting before my kids woke up. Our home page opens to the LDS.org website. We have enjoyed all the mormon messages, but this one in particular made me reflect deeply on my life and how I act towards other people. If this man, who lost so much, could forgive, anyone can forgive. How much better the world would be if we could truly be so forgiving. The man didn't pretend that his life wasn't destroyed, but instead realized that our lives are meant to find happiness and love. Anger and hate and bitterness comes so naturally and understandably. The Savior realizes how easy it is to hang on to those justified feelings, but has the power to lift us above our natural self to find continual happiness.

Thank You Craig and Your Fabulous List

I don't come from a family who yard sales. I see the benefits of purging your life of your unused stuff for money even very little money so the stuff can become treasures once again. The only yard sale I have participated in was engineered by my friend and most of the stuff was hers. But with Craigslist, I can sell stuff from the comfort of my own computer seat. Such a feat has occurred today. A trundle bed that was given to us years ago was sold for $250. Happiness and joy! Both the seller (me) and the buyer couldn't have been happier.

Note: It was a scary process. It wasn't until I received some questionable emails that the creepo factor sunk in. People I didn't know would be coming to my house to "buy" my goods. To be safe, I waited until Fernando was home and we put it in the garage. It was fantastic. I can't wait to list more things.
