Catch Up . . .

This last week is almost a blur. I have been incommunicado with the blog. Gone from my familiar surroundings. My time has been well spent being grandma. Some of my little ones have been sick, and I was called upon to go into to help out for a couple of days last week. Then I had three more days this week to be with four others, two of whom where sick with sore throats. I find it amazing that I can go in and be unscathed with what they have.

I must say though, I have a cold of sorts about ready to clear any day. Sneezing myself mostly yesterday and today. I consider myself very blessed under the circumstances. No one really knows how not sleeping in my own bed keeps me from sleeping very well. I took a three hour nap out of the loss of sleep but not necessarily from being gone and need the rest.

I worked at the temple this morning and had about four hours sleep. I run on empty fairly well for the time I am there serving. But I usually come home and take a nice nap. If feels so good and does the trick.

The weather was a snowy wet rain when I left this morning to go to my assignment. I noticed the last couple of weeks going on the way I only had one or no red light signal to pass through. Some days I get all green lights. Life is kind of like this.

I noticed that when we get the go ahead to do what we do, and sometimes a red light shows up and it takes time to stop and regroup. Every day is not always smooth sailing. But I have a knack for rolling with the punches and I get a lot more accomplished with that kind of attitude.

All in all I had a great day, even with the start of the day driving in the wet rainy snow. I count that as a blessing since it could have been a soft powder snow with inches and inches of snow on the walks or my car. I did not even have to scrape my windows. That in and of itself was a blessing.
