Thanksgiving week is here and then the Christmas Season will begin.  I know it will all zoom by as the days have a way of doing!  Remember to take the time to be with friends and family.  I mean to be with them, not just be there but to give them your attention and love.  Life moves so fast.  It really is short as I am realizing lately as I will never get it all done unless I live to be a 120 years old! (without disability)
We don't have to get it all done, just give it our best with no regrets!  Enjoy your Thanksgiving, count your many blessings and have a fun and joyous Christmas Season.

November review of October Conference Talks

November is here, actually we are in five days so far.  Many times at the end of October I have heard women say, "This month has gone by so fast."  It wasn't just "older"women saying this but young ones and even children! It has been a common theme in conversations I have had or overheard in the last few weeks.
     Is the clock moving faster?  I have not seen this visually but....I wonder?   Time is a precious gift.  I am grateful for each day that I get, each hour, each minute.  I spent many minutes/hours today reviewing all the October Conference talks and pulled out words and quotes from each one.  I will list them here.  Look at the words, remember the talks, the feelings and each lesson we were given by the Lord's Apostles.  I have set some new goals this week and weeks to come.  I will take the time for the essential things in my life. The necessary things, well, they are necessary and will be part of my life.  The nice-to-do things I then look forward to enjoying.
     Read, ponder, pray and know that we are blessed.  We have these words as a gift from Our Heavenly Father.  They help us to remember Him and His Son.
