Spring has sprung, and with that means James is in the tractor all day every day. We are going on day three right now. He is currently planting beets. Logan has been with him for 4 hours now, and that is nice. I hope they are having good father/son talks, and also having fun.
I really don't have anything on my mind today; however, I'm sure I can come up with something.
Conference was last weekend, as was my birthday, fyi. Conference was awesome, as always. It left me feeling all the more grateful for my beautiful family. I feel like I am valuing the blessing that my children are, just a bit more. I've definitely shown them more love, kindness, and patience. Patience. I really wish that was something I had more of. I think that's why this has been a good week, because I have physically felt myself reserve any unkind and impatient thoughts. That is always a good thing.
The sun is shining outside. It is beautiful. The wind is blowing. That is not beautiful. I could do with out the wind. It hurts my eyes and flips my hair around in the most annoying ways.
About a month ago, James and I had one of our discussions. It basically ended with him saying that he is in a better mood when I am in a good mood. Some days are harder than others, but I have been trying harder to "be" in a good mood when he gets home. I am actually usually plenty happy, but you know that there are days that are hard and you don't want to be in a good mood. Those are the days that I put on a happy face. When James is happy, I am happy. So if I can fake it until he lifts my spirits, then so be it. James really does make me happy. He doesn't know the tricks to make me happy when I am down, but he is the biggest trick there is to make me happy. Just being with him. I love him.
