Crop it OUT?!

When we were first married we used a film class editing reminder. Verbally we said, "Rewind, start over" in the middle of an argument. "Take TWO." Or three...Communicating is complicated.

There is power in editing. In repenting. In deleting. In starting over. Cropping a photo tells a different story. Less is okay.
Change is okay.

Back door=#3, kitchen curtain fabric from IKEA. Exit sign from yard sale last summer. New orange shirt $2 from favorite thrift store yesterday.

As soon as we get the kids all off to school we are driving down to the temple. It's a good day to remember, and renew. Pray and serve. Repent and remember. Hope and remember. Forgive and forget and remember to count blessings.

1. Good, honest, faithful husband.
2. Temples close enough--1 1/2 hours away.
3. Children-brilliant, mostly healthy (get better Em), strong, faithful.
4. Family support in trials.
5. Trials that help us remember, start over, re-prioritize, spend time together.
6. Working car.
7. Seminary! I love teaching. Showed the class the dress I wore the day I was baptized and given the Gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands! Had them write down what they remembered on their day. 2 Nephi 31!
8. Colors of Fall! Glorious oranges and reds, rusts, purples, brilliant yellows and golds, crunchy browns. I love this time of year!
