What do I love?

I love that...

-when I shop at Whole Foods Market, I walk around wondering if all the other shoppers know I didn't vote for Obama.

I love that...

-I stayed at the Temple today twice as long as I meant to because right before I was going to leave, I finally heard what I needed to hear. And so I stayed so I could hear more.

-even though changing my life seems to be the hardest thing I've ever done, I know I won't quite till I get there. Even if it's partly for pride reasons. As least I won't quit. Yay me.

I love that...

-this morning I tried yoga for the first time and I almost liked it.

-my body can't sleep in even on my first free Saturday in forever.

I love that..

-I unsubscribed from a favorite "mommy blog" because she even made ME, who is not a mom, feel inadequate as a mother.

-I'm actually excited to return to my church assignment tomorrow. I've missed my little friends.

I love that...

-my new cut and color makes me feel totally put together so much so that I didn't wear a stitch of make-up today.

-I didn't wear a stitch of make-up today.

I love that..

-I'm at a place in my life where staying at home by myself on a Friday night is totally okay.

-THE YOUNG VICTORIA is out on dvd and the "Special Features: Deleted and Extended Scenes" is almost as good as the movie.

I love that...I'm opening up my heart and mind to new opportunities. And trusting the Lord knows what I want...and what I need.

I love that I love my life.

I love that.

Was it the post about Ever? Because really...Good motherhood comes in the mothering. Not the delivery. (Removing soapbox now...)

BTW, I think you have the best mother heart of just about anyone I know--with cute hair to boot!

Sounds like you had one wonderfully productive day yesterday. Can you feel my hug? I love you!

Laurel...I am blog stalking, I found your blog from danielle's blog, it is her BFF, Natalie. I love this entry! So many points I feel I could have written.
A. I feel the same EVERYtime I shop at Whole Foods...hilarious. Then once I had 5 kids screaming in the car and what I thought was a "hippie liberal" behind me. Then I left my wallet full of cash in the store and he RAN out to find me, he was so sweet and reminded me...don't judge the sweet liberal people in Whole Foods.
B. I should probably unsubscribe from some supermom blogs. This is probably why I still don't blog. I just have to remind myself...I am just getting some inspiration and we have different talents.
Anyway...loved the entry! Hope to see you at Ty and Danielle's wedding.
PS you are famous and on some of those Mommy blogs I have even seen you and I was saying, "Hey! I know that girl!"
