Monday we took the kids and dog swimming in the reservoir for the last time this year (okay, Greg went swimming... I took pictures!) Today there is snow on the mountains and it is raining slush outside! Crazy Utah weather!! One day and a 35+ degree temp. drop! What a difference a day can make!
I also reflected (considering my last post) what a difference a day can make in my attitude and general thought process! I wonder sometimes why I let myself get so down... then the next day, circumstances or situations remain the same, yet I am ready to fight the fight so to speak. I wonder why? Is life just supposed to be a roller coaster of emotions and good and bad days? Maybe, but I think it is more to do with my spiritual well being and what I am focused on. I just wish it wasn't so hard to stay focused on the things that really matter instead of the daily grind.
I also realized that a lot of my mental stress is due to my lack of exercise, something I used to look forward to each day... now it's killing me! I can't believe how out of shape I am! It only takes 10 min. on the elliptical before my thighs are shaking and I can hardly walk - today I dusted off the total gym and did the work out I was doing a year ago and had to lower the degree of resistance to survive it! Now that is depressing!! However, I had my own little personal trainer at my side cheering me on and getting a good example from mom for a change! I am determined this time around to stay with it and make the change in my body I need.
I am also really looking forward to General Conference this weekend to exercise my spirituality and help me get on track there.
My hope is to stay on a more even keel in my life and keep an eternal perspective and hopefully set a much better example to those entrusted to my care!
