It is SAD season. Definately one of my worse. I am self medicating (goodies) way to much and have developed a slight addiction to my electric blanket. (7:00 PM throughout the night).
I am now treating myself with a tried and true anti depressant. Remembering. I watched the video O Remember, Remember from the Youth :Come Follow Me program. (Call me if you can't find it). It is President Eyring reminding us to spend time each night and notice and remember what the Lord has done for us each day. It helps me tremendously. Everyday there is evidence that our Heavenly Father and Savior love us. They love me. Tiny and great miracles. Spiritual hugs. Prayers answered. I have even been shown the beauty of the magical snow that I blame for my lower spirits. Even on hard days, there is something sent my way to let me know that I have not been left comfortless.
This morning as I read some very sad news stories and felt dispair, I came to my office and said a prayer for comfort and peace. It wasn't long before my spirits were lifted through peace in my heart and connecting with others around me. and yes, I do believe that people are put in our path for a reason. I am very aware that the glorious spring is just weeks away with so much joy for me. It gives me such joy in anticipation. But I will enjoy the season. I will enjoy that warm blanket and warm new soups. The time to plan for the spring and summer. The time to feel the dark so that I will more celebrate the light..the Light.
I hope that I as lighter days come I won't forget. I need to remember every night and record my deealings with my Father.
