I just must express the gratitude that I have for my life, a list doesn't seem equal to the way I feel. I am in the exact right place, and I have all of my children with me. life is so good, it almost makes me forget all that I lack and all I endure is no different that anyony else who pays rent. If i get to be blessed to rest so in heaven, it is worth the shallow cost. It is important that I figured out that even hollywood's version of love isn't the cure to so many troubles as they try to persuade you, and magazines and other ads are quite good at fooling even the wise among us, but I tell you, I do ot look or feel beautiful and never found a "soulmate" but am at the height of happiness ever I have experienced. besides Spencer W. Kimball said, " "Soul mates” are fiction and an illusion; and... ...with all diligence and prayerfulness to find a mate with whom life can be most compatible..." in a talk he gave in 1977 on marriage.

I have to remind myself that I am actually thankful sometimes, or I want to collapse or cease, but like I was thinkg about the early pioneers as I was reviewing for the lesson in FHE, there really isn't a way to give up, you sort of had to be committed to the purpose. I am more grateful for some things than others.

1) Olive branches especially in the form of communications with other people who know and think in words that I can understand, or even try.
2) Mary Anne's extreme good nature and patience!
