Homework

Yahoo!!!!!!

I have completed all of my school work for this coming week 2 and one half days before it is due!

Now it is time to celebrate! Anyone for a milkshake? Me! Me! Me!

I will treat anyone else, too. You just need to come to Logan for it.

Acknowledgment

I just love my job, but I especially feel that it is worthwhile when I get emails like the following:

"Emily,
On January 4th you featured my blog post from Mormon Women on your daily “Bloggernacle.” I created the blog on clinical depression in hopes to reach out to other individual’s like myself who are carrying the same burden. As a result of your feature I have been able to reach many additional individuals who are also struggling with depression and who have shared with me their faith. I want to thank you for recognizing my blog and making others aware of my purpose in creating it. I felt very strongly the need to share with others my experience in hopes to make a difference in anothers life. Through this opportunity I have had several people share with me their experience with depression and express their gratitude for my willingness to share my journey. Thanks to Mormon Women and Mormon Times, I’ve seen wonderful things unfold. Including myself, I believe many have had faith strengthened, hoped renewed, and understanding broadened.

Thanks again for your role in helping this effort move forward."

Seeing Rainbows

Dolly Parton is credited with saying, "If you want the rainbow, you have to learn to dance in the rain". Well...for 21 months I have danced in the rain...and probably caused a few 'thunderstorms' in my wake. But... I today FINALLY got a job. I feel such a relief and a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I had gotten to the point that I thought this day would never come!! But the Lord has given me a rainbow and it is beautiful!!!
