First of all, I'm going to go on a little complaining rant. I hate cats. I am not a cat person. The only time I like cats is when they are cuddly and asleep. They smell, the make loud noises when they drink from water bowls, they cry a lot to come in or out, and they clean themselves in a way that always grates on my nerves.
Okay, now that that's out of the way, my second line of business on blogger today: Surgery recovery update! I went and saw Larry today and he said the knee is lookin' goood :) Not in so many words because Larry never has anything really positive to say (which is fine and doesn't make me like him any less) but he didn't dis my work on my knee so it's aaall good. I still have to wear my sports brace... I guess I should amend that and say Larry says I should still be wearing it... and I haven't been but I didn't tell Larry that. The guy might get all Larry on me. But I will try and be more diligent in my brace wearing in the future.
Speaking of the future! Third: This weekend is the annual Fourth of July Celebration in Woodruff, Utah! My dad-io is picking me up Friday, we are partying Saturday, and we are going to Bear Lake and camping until Sunday! It's going to be sweeeet! Larry informed me, sternly, I am to wear my knee brace when swimming. ICK. All the parts to that awesome little machine are hand wash only, which anyone will agree with me when I say that totally sucks. So I have to wear the piece of metal in the water and afterwards I have to take it apart to clean it. Do you have any idea how many pieces there are to my knee brace?! A lot. Ah, well. The price we pay to go swimming in a gross, freezing lake. It'll be sweet still, I promise, and you will hear all about it too. I promise you pictures too! Excited? I am!
And I'm sure by now you are wondering what D/C has to do with the above comments. My answer? Well nothing really. I read a talk on lds.org given in 1998 and put into our friendly Ensign. It is written by Elder Val R. (which stands for Rigby, honest! Check for yourself here) Christensen and is entitled, "Overcoming Discouragement."
Elder Christensen stated three things to do when faced with discouragement: 1. Change your attitude towards your problem, 2. Accept help, and 3. Develop trust in the Lord. It was the perfect talk for me! I don't feel discouraged now but I have before in the not too distant past and I'm sure I will again before this excruciatingly long summer is over. So, I thought I'd share. Awesome talk.
“If thou art sorrowful, call on the Lord thy God with supplication, that your souls may be joyful.”
