my journey
I spent the week thinking about my process. My journey.
I had the assignment of speaking in stake conference about filling that journey with hope and joy. I had to think a lot about the warm blanket of regret and guilt that I sometimes snuggle up under. Man, that gets comfy.
In Isaiah we read that with joy we are to draw water from the wells of salvation (Isaiah 12:3).
The bucket of faith.
The rope of grace.
Sometimes we can pull it up on our own. Sometimes we line up at the rope with people in front of us. People behind us. Whatever it takes.
But here is my key -- let each day be a new beginning.
My life is not one big arc, but a series of many many small ones.

I love your quote, let each day be a new beginning! I bet you did a great job with your talk.
That really is the key, isn't it? It's one that I forget to use quite often, as I bash myself for all the mistakes of yesterday.
Wish I could have heard your talk. I am positive it was wonderful and that people were blessed by your thoughts.
I love that every day is a new beginning. Sometimes that is all that keeps me going.
I really love your thoughts, so true.
Sometimes that's all we can do, right? Take one day at a time and view each one as a new beginning.
Wish I could have heard that talk!
I thought your metaphor was beautiful. Especially the idea that our bucket can sometimes leak and require repair.
I really appreciated your talk and found many truths in it to think deeply about.
