I started out my day 2day with WATER AEROBICS @ my rec center here in South Jordan. I've been going with Kassie 2 the 1 in Kearns so today was a 1st for me @ my local rec. And I must admit that it was WONDERFUL!! Hoko kept telling me 2 try this one out since we already have a couple's pass there so I took him up on his advice & I'm TOTALLY glad I did. My instructor's name is Hope & she is so FUN & FULL of ENERGY that it TOTALLY permeates throughout the class. :D I honestly felt so @ peace & so HAPPY just being there. The workouts were AWESOME & I loved EVERY min/sec I was there!! :D
After that I picked up my girls from their grandma's & we returned home. I got 2 finish up 1 of my online classes before Hoko got home 4 us 2 go 2 the temple. As part of our preparation 4 General Conference this weekend, we thought it a GREAT idea 2 attend the temple & get ourselves prepared spiritually. :D
My sister decided 2 bring her kids over 2 visit with my kids & parents so Hoko & I decided 2 head downtown & catch a showing of: Joseph Smith The Prophet Of The Restoration. "A film about the life & legacy of Joseph Smith, founding prophet of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. . . ." being shown in the Legacy Theater of the Joseph Smith Memorial Bldg. This film pierced me so deeply that I couldn't help, but feel LOVE & GRATITUDE 4 being able 2 live in the 'last days.' 4 being able 2 have been born into the gospel of Jesus Christ & being able 2 experience the ENDLESS LOVE that our Heavenly Father has 4 each & everyone of us. I was so HUMBLED by all the TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS that our dear, beloved prophet & his wife, Emma, endured in order to restore the gospel here on earth.
It truly OPENED my eyes more 2 be AWARE of my thoughts @ all times. 2 recognize how PRECIOUS life is & 2 try my BEST not 2 take it 4 granted. I felt OVERWHELMED by the spirit & emotionally/mentally drained by the time we got home that I laid down 4 a nap, but was unsuccessful because Hoko came & called 4 me 2 go with him 2 walk our 4 yr old son, TITAN. Lol. And since I promised myself that I'm going 2 do my BEST from here on out not to take ANYTHING 4 granted, I got myself up & threw on my sweats, hoodie & boots & headed out the door. We walked Titan 2 the park & all around our neighborhood & then headed home. I have no idea what energy I'm still drawing upon 2 even be blogging about it, but I felt the need 2 share.
Life's so FILLED with OPPORTUNITIES 2 take advantage of & I'm truly GRATEFUL 2 be working 2wards filling EVERYDAY with FULFILLING DAYS!! :D Life is DEFINITELY whatever it is YOU make of it. On that note, I'm going 2 turn in & get some shut eye before having 2 get up 4 my morning water aerobics class that'll be done & over with by 9 so I'll be home 2 watch: Music & The Spoken Word that airs right before conference starts. :D
