1. Attend the temple on your 2 month mark and cry through half of the session and the entire time in the Celestial Room with a friend.
2. Read "Left to Tell" by Immaculee Ilibagiza and realize that you aren't trapped in a tiny bathroom with nowhere to go and no one to talk to in a country full of turmoil.
3. Read "The Hiding Place" by Corrie Ten Boom and realize that you are free to worship how, where and what you may and that you won't be punished inhumanely just for being a good Christian.
4. Have a spiritual experience at church realizing how much your Savior loves you.
5. Go back to work (It drives me CRAZY how much I need that distraction!)
Bottom line, I'm feeling much better about 2010 and really, I have my struggles but things could be a LOT worse. Bring it on, 2010! Here we go!

Katielyn, thank you for stopping by my blog. I'm sorry that you've had to join the ranks of angel mommas. It's the club no one asks to be in. I hope that you are recovering well, physically and emotionally. The first year was the hardest for me by far, and since then it gets a little better with time. Hang in there, and feel free to come on over and visit again. Interestingly, I was contacted recently by a woman in your area that makes the bereavement boxes for the local hospital. I wonder if you were privileged to get one of them?
You are so strong. I am so sorry for all that you have gone through. It is amazing to read how you are handling things. You are an inspiration! God has so much in store for us and it really depends how we decide to handle and make out of what he gives us.
Katie, you are a wonderful woman with a great husband, and a family who loves you, Jason, and JJ.

Way to have a good attitude! I promise the sun will shine again for you. I remember a time in my life, not terribly long ago when the world just seemed dark. It was this time of year actually. There really is no other way to describe it but it just didn't seem like the sun was out ever. (And I was in California!) Then, one day, shortly after Easter, I know it was April sometime, and I woke up and the darkness had cleared and the sun was shining again. It was heavenly and I'll never forget the contrast. It'll come, it'll come.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and inspiring me with your spirituality. You are strong and amazing!
Don't forget about going to Kohls and buying a great purse! ;)
