I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I am a mid single and I am happy. Sure, I would like to be married (trying to do positive affirmations but yes, I think would like that companionship) but you know it is not the end of the world that I am single. It has provided me with a lot of opportunities to do great things and meet great individuals.
I have to admit this weekend I was feeling the blues and blah about life. The social 6'6 smoker I think played a big part in that. Why did I go out with him? I didn't know he smoked and he seemed nice, and as mentioned previously sometimes it is good to spend time with the opposite gender and explore possibilities. I also while I have met some great people was just missing my longtime friends. Not just the singles but the families.
I lived in the Cypress area for most of my life and moving to San Diego was a lot harder than I ever imagined. I am adjusting and I call San Diego home and I am no longer tempted to just hop in my car and do the drive up to the OC. However, as I saw posts on FB about Young Women Activities or different events going on I was craving seeing members and friends from my old stake. I miss running errands around the neighborhood and seeing people you know and visiting them and saying hello.
While I am now a little fish in this big stake I am beginning to recognize people when I work at the temple. I see them and I am so happy to see their familiar face. Last night was the first ward temple night I was able to participate in since moving to San Diego and I loved it!! I am blessed to know some incredible men and women in my ward and even more priviliged to call them my friends.
I am not sure what this outpouring of blessings is indicating but I do know that in my life I have been blessed beyond what I deserve and maybe as I am getting older I am learning to recognize the blessing more and appreciate them as well as show gratitude for them.
So to all my family and friends thank you so much for being one of the blessings. I don't think I let my family or friends know very often how much they mean to me but it is something I am striving to improve.
I am posting a picture that makes me happy when I see it. These are three of my biggest blessings in my life!!! I love them so much!!!
