We saw a toad in the road and I made
Sister Stevens get in a picture with it.
Meet Carlos
It’s September. It’s easily the most beautiful,
wonderful month of the whole year. I love it. It is such an honor to have my birthday
in such a fantastic month. Realizing how fast this year has gone by has made me
want to appreciate moments more fully.
Something I am learning about my life is that it
is so easy to feel nostalgia for the past or excitement for the future, but it
is sometimes so difficult to be content with the right now. The funny thing is
that before I got here I was looking forward to being here (wherever “here”
happens to be at the time) and after I leave here I know that I will look back
with fond memories and miss it. To quote Mama Santos “be happy while you’re
here ‘cause there’s no here there.” She’s very wise. God wants us to be
happy, right now. He is willing to help us to be happy, we just have to choose
it.
If we choose to see the many miracles Heavenly Father
has blessed us with TODAY I know we will be more grateful and happier. Today I
am grateful for fall colors, Chinese buffets, and SPANISH!
Have a great day.
Love,
Jari
