Spring Must Be Here!
Was this the first morning, or just the first morning I noticed:
THE BIRDS WERE SINGING!
Ah, I love this time of year!

Sunday Visits
My favorite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon is visit some of the people in the neighborhood...tonite's visits included:
SA - whose daughter is battling drug and alcohol addiction....it reminded me that we each carry heavy burdens and we should not feel like we are the only ones suffering.
DC - who spoke in church and gave the most incredible talk about patience. She is always an inspiration to me with her amazing faith and knowledge of the Gospel.
DB - just dropped in to see if she is feeling any better...she has health issues and is recovering from colon cancer. Her husband is on dialysis. It reminded me to be grateful for health when we have it.
SS - is on her way to see a neurologist in SLC tomorrow. She suffers from pain and cannot get any relief. Aside from being in a wheelchair, she now has this debilitating pain which she is hoping the doctor can help her with. It reminded me to be grateful for mobility.
RMJ - oh my heck, what a great way to end the visits; which were all pretty short. She is from Brazil, beautiful, talented, classy, and just fun. And a talker. But, such a fun, delightful person. Visiting her was a great reminder of the many wonderful people who come from all over the world.
All in all, I realize there are so many good good people in our neighborhood; many with challenges, ALL with faith and HOPE.
I do love Sundays.

The Perfect Couple
How do you find the perfect mate?
I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know it's a study in human relationships to see couples interact and to see their relationships at work.... .
I love being around C & B. They are so pleasant to each other. They are so supportive and positive with each other. They are totally in love after 15 years and 4 kids. They are each other's best friend and they build each other up. It's so fun to see them in church as they share little secret looks and smiles. They laugh easily and just enjoy being together.
As a direct contrast, my next-door neighbors, B & B are very hard to be around. They are mean to each other; saying very negative and quarrelsome things to each other. They say such derogative statements to one another. I always wonder why they married each other.
I think it says a lot about people about how they treat the ones the closest to them.

IFG
The letters were on a license plate at a gas station:
IFG
I had no clue what they meant, but this is what immediately sprang into my head:
I
Feel
Grateful!
And, indeed I do on this incredibly gorgeous spring day.

The Next-Door Neighbor
She brings us:
home-made soups,
pork dinners with potatoes,
corned beef and cabbage dinners,
fresh vegetables,
fresh fruits,
magazines,
candy she doesn't want.
Recently, she bought Allen a sweater, and a purse and blouse for me.
So, when I didn't have any St. Patrick's Day decorations, she went out and bought some for me!
Today, I put up my few Easter decorations;
I do not want her to feel like she has to buy some for me. What a neighbor!
