June 16th: Hat trick
This morning was gorgeous!!! I took a long walk with Gracie at six am and the green on the Wasatch mountains with a slight dusting of snow on top was spectacular! It was peaceful and set the tone for a hopeful, happy day. Rarely does my body clock get me up and out the door [...]
June 15th: Finding out what’s wrong
Today we found out why my mother’s been in such horrible pain. Two fractures in her back. That’s right. My 82 year old mom has a broken back. Today’s MRI must have revealed to the specialist we went to see some things the X rays of two weeks ago didn’t make clear to our doctor [...]
June 14th: Now and Then
Today Kevin Kelly came with a small camera crew to get on video some memories from the years I worked at Bonneville Communications on the Homefront Public Service Campaigns. It was, indeed, a blast from the past – a walk down memory lane and a M2B:) moment indeed.
I’ve never been one to really dwell on [...]
June 13th: The Sunday nap
Everyone who knows the bliss of a Sunday afternoon nap knows why it’s a mainstay for those of us on Missions To Be Happy. Anything threatening grumpiness gets cast away by the Sunday nap. For some reasons, as great as naps in general can be, for me, the M2B:) nap happens Sunday Afternoons, and today [...]
June 11th and 12th: Mini Mission Conferences
The 11th and 12th were the first official mini mission conferences of my Mission To Be Happy!!! Friday we gathered at the new flagship store of Deseret Book from noon til two pm. Saturday we met at the Ft. Union Store from 1pm -3pm. Here’s my report.
There are some that would argue that these first [...]
June 10th: Sprouting at Girls Camp
Got to spend the evening at the Heber Valley Girls Camp singing songs and telling stories to about three hundred of the greatest young women anywhere. It was energizing, and humbling at the same time. We laughed together, cried together, and enjoyed a bond that was tremendous.
Walking into the pavilion where I was to perform [...]
June 9th: Saratoga & Shrimp
I spent the most interesting evening in Saratoga Springs tonight. My new friends invited me to dinner at their place right on the lake. It was a gorgeous view I hadn’t experienced before and it came with dinner. Really good dinner. Is there anything better than good food, good people and good conversation? I [...]
June 8th: The matinee
Like a finely tuned engine, this morning I hit the ground running. Think: Nascar of errands and I was Jimmy Johnson. Oh yeah, baby, I was bobbin’ and weavin’ through traffic, checkin’ things off my list at a death defying speed. I like to move it, move it. I like to move it.
Lynne ’s [...]
June 7th: Gracie
When I was growing up we didn’t have pets. No dogs, no cats. I think when I was very young there may have been a bird named McCormick, but it’s a fuzzy memory. When I got married and had kids we sort of adopted a stray dog which the kids named Dusty. Dusty died in [...]
