October 8: Beauty

 One of those days when I feel that if I dies tonight I would end my time in this life on a very high and beautiful note! The zoo with William and his friends was just wonderful. So good to be back there with Will. I am so thankful for these past 14 years with him! He is not just my son, he is someone I love hanging out with too!  And beautiful day for it. And my goodness my boys and Ryan are just the very best. Peter works so hard and I am so proud of that sweet little guy who is now so tall and not little! And James is growing each day on stature and character. So proud of the young man he is becoming. Ryan is my rock and my best friend. He makes my heart happy. I am so lucky—so blessed to have married him! 

It was wonderful to see Madi today and Mike for a moment. Big things going on in their lives. I hope and pray they and their families can be blessed and strengthened. 

Each of my siblings is so kind to me. I love them and my goodly parents so much! Thankful indeed for what they have sacrificed for me and my family and our good. 

I love my God. I know my Heavenly Parents love me and are aware of me. I know the Savior lives. And atoned for my sins. He is the way and to love as He loves is our ultimate eternal goal. And love brings joy. So thankful for all my days. And especially for today.
