When I die....

Saturday, August 28th we attended the "Celebration of Life" (COL) for my late sister in-law. She was cremated so their was no rush to get her buried.  She wanted a "Celebration of Life" instead of a funeral. It is more like a "wake" but with out all of the Irishmen. This had a bunch of Lesbians instead. Too dang funny.... It was a nice, calm atmosphere where everyone mingled and visited. My sister April put together a slide show of some pictures put to "Somewhere Over the rainbow" sung by IZ. That is the version with the ukulele. Love that one!!  It was being played in the bar area of the hotel that the "COL" was being held. Diana worked their and they paid for a lot of it. So anyway we are sitting in the bar area watching the video and this couple comes in and starts to watch the video and the guy starts to ask questions, Is that her daughter? Is she the one that died? We had  party crashers join the "COL" It was hilarious. They watched the video, visited with the other guests, watched us take the group picture. So dang funny. The only thing I could think of the whole time was that Diana can make friends so easily and she isn't even with us any more. That is the kind of person she is and her spirit was their on Saturday making friends with every one.

When I die I think I want to have some sort of celebration . It was a very nice thing to experience.
I don't want people to be sad. Be happy that I was happy and lived life to the fullest and the best that I could.  Maybe a dinner party with a live band and dancing and a Pinata for the kids, LOL ... My kids will think of something fun.

Thank you Mr. Edison

So last night I had a bit of a melt down. More like a release. I had a bad experience at work and came home pretty upset. I tend to hold things in until it comes out 99% of the time as tears and this finally happened last night. My poor husband had no idea as to what to do, bless his heart. I feel so bad because he had to drive to Flagstaff early this morning. Instead of sleeping he was up with me trying to help me through this issue. I got him to go back to bed around midnight. I finally got to sleep around 1:30.  So this morning I am checking my e-mail and I look at my wonderful "Daily Quote" from "Real Simple Magazine" and this is what it was;

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” ― Thomas Edison

I am now more determined to make things work to the best advantage of my family and our current situation. I have no idea how things will turn out but what ever it ends up being we will be OK. So thank you to the person that set this in motion, thank you Mr. Edison for sharing your wisdom and thank you Heavenly Father for sending me your answer.

Help Wanted, At Last

I love my calling!!!!!

Last night at Mutual was, to date, the best activity I have experienced so far. I only had one Laurel come. That was OK. I hoped that all three would be their, but it happens. The part that was so rewarding was the look on the face of this young lady when she realized she was farther along on her personal progress than she thought. We went over all of the things she has done that could count as personal progress and she is almost done. The most rewarding part was that she is a bit learning disabled and we actually helped her. The smile was the best thing to see. I was goose bumpy the whole time. I love my calling!!!!
