Answers to prayers

The last few days have been really hard to get through. I prayed many many times for comfort and strength and to not feel alone. I was able to chat with two good friends online through most of the day yesterday and that helped me to not feel alone. I got an email from friend giving me ideas for fun things to do and telling me that I am special and that Heavenly Father loves me. I also got a phone call out of the blue from a friend. And although I didn't dare answer when I saw her name because I knew I wouldn't be able to speak, I know she was inspired to call me when she did. Just seeing her name on the caller id and hearing her message made me feel so loved and cared about. I am so grateful for the gospel, for prayer, for the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and for such wonderful, caring friends that I can turn to when I need them.

A good review

I had a 90-day "touch base" and a "review" at work tonight. Both were just great. I learned that the supervisors do realize the work I am doing and that they consider me a self-starter, and a hard worker. I felt so great to know that my work is appreciated and that they really notice what I am doing. It made me more confident and made the night go better. I love meeting expectations and making things better for other people even if I don't know it. And to top it off I get a few more cents per hour on my check starting in a couple weeks. Every little bit helps and I count it as a great blessing.

Music

I am grateful for music. So many times I can turn on some music and it lifts my mood. I especially love turning it up and singing at the top of my lungs (this is also helpful to drown out whining chilren). I accomplish more and have a better day if I play music in the morning. It truly affects me for the good and for that I am thankful.
