Isn't it amazing what two simple words together can do? "I'm Sorry" coming from both sides is such a powerful thing. They can truly erase a load of things. Granted, in some cases they cannot make life how it was before those things happened... but they go such a long way!
I really do wish that more of the world knew how to use those words. I really hope that my children learn how to use those words to their fullest meaning.
Tomorrow is a new year, and all is fresh and new. :) I'm not usually one to set "New Year's Resolutions" but this year is different. Tomorrow I start onto my diet again, I start exercising again, and I start potty training the youngest... if he will let me!!
Hope and optimism are such great things to have!

Illness
Wow, which would you rather have in your family? A chronic illness or a mental illness?
When a doctor asks my medical history it is decidedly lopsided. Mental illness runs rampant. It has Clinical Depression all over the place, it has Bipolar Disorder sprinkled throughout, and Paranoia here and there. It could be worse, I promise that. I could have Schizophrenia in there too... and there isn't any that I know of.
In the physical aspect of my medical history I have a little diabetis, and skin cancer. With some minor things scattered about.
As far as the two options go, consider this:
On the physical side the person who has it often suffers great physical pain that will never go away, and sometimes emotional trauma, but usually they have their families to surround them and people that love them.
On the mental side the person who has it often suffers great mental pain, often due to the fact that they don't realize that they have an ailment, they often driving those that love them away from them, but often they are otherwise healthy and not in any physical pain.
So, My question is this... if you had to have someone you love have either a chronic illness, or a mental one. Which would you prefer?
I know which I would choose, and it's not the one I got.

Have you ever....
gone to a parent for advice on how to handle a situation with a relative of yours? Just advice... no taking sides etc.
Have you ever had that same relative accuse you of "waging an attack" on them because of it?
Ya. Just happened to me.
All I can say is... my relative must not know me very well if they really think I have it in me to be that malicious... they must not know how much that accusation cuts me to the very core.

It's Jeremy's Birthday!!!
He's officially old, so we went to a movie.
It was Avatar, it was good!!!
I don't think I have heard anyone say it isn't good actually. I loved it and will probably be buying it when it comes out on DVD.

Went To Church
Sacrament happened. (there was a lot of off-key singing. cringe)
Gospel Doctrine happened. (Class member states that Adam had no choice -really?- but to follow Eve in eating the fruit. Hmmm... What if he did? Nowhere does it say he immediately followed her in eating the fruit. Now THAT would have been an interesting discussion.)
Relief Society happened. (Where in the world is the Christmas lesson!?!?! Come to find out, the men had one... think I'll go to their class next time *snicker* would love so see the reactions to that!)
The end. :)
