- Went to my first NHL game two weeks ago. And it was a lot of fun. The Utah Mammoth (the team I was rooting for) defeated the Seattle Kraken 6-3. I wouldn't mind going again...if only I could afford the tickets. But even the cheap seats are expensive.
- I just finished reading Harlow Giles Unger's excellent biography John Hancock: Merchant King and American Patriot. It's a well-researched book, as all his books are, but what I love most about his writing is how accessible and compelling his prose is. I came away with newfound respect for John Hancock and all he did to contribute to the founding or our nation. For me, this was a fascinating 5-star read.
- I've been missing my mom a lot this last month. Even little things have been making me sad. Grief is the gift that keeps on giving. But I'm trying to count my blessings.
- Lots of recent family get-togethers and outings have helped bring some joy into the mix...from my niece's birthday dinner to Dino Fest to a Q-tip painting art day to laughing with my sisters at our monthly game night. I'm SO grateful for my family.
- My co-workers have been super caring, too, always checking in to see how I'm doing and offering their friendship and support. Makes me better understand and appreciate that scripture in Mosiah about bearing one another's burdens that they may be light, mourning with those that mourn, and comforting those that stand in need of comfort.
- And I'm very excited for the Winter Olympics this month. Can't wait to watch some curling along with short track, freestyle skiing, half pipe snowboarding, and all the figure skating. Go U.S.A.!
