Carrots and Swimming

Yesterday was a doozy of a day.

I don't know exactly what it was but I was irritated and on edge. 

I was talking to Corban as we drove in to his swimming practice and mentioned that I didn't get anything done all day. 

Then I corrected myself as I remembered several things I did do:

I washed and packaged all the harvested carrots- 5 gallon bags.

I did a load of colored clothes.

I helped Corban with his school work.

I worked on my 4 generation research project

and

I made woodland recipe cards.

 There were several times during the day though that I was just frustrated and irritated. 

Interesting how I perceived that as not accomplishing anything. 

I ate my feelings though- pretzel rolls and chocolate.

That felt like a fail as well.

There were two moments though when I felt like I could get it under control.

Around 2 o'clock or so I decided to open my scriptures.

I love that spirit of the Book of Mormon.

The scriptures I read didn't apply to what I was feeling or going through but when I read the first one I felt a peace, like I was visiting an old friend, and I felt the storm calm.

The Book of Mormon truly has an influence that is magic.

Then I did a little meditation before bed.

I was glad for the moments to breathe and then sleep.

Today will be better.
