Scott and I ventured out to shop at City Creek. This was our first time to really do some damage to the pocket books. We stopped in and ate at Cheesecake Factory. We had a gift card from Christmas last year. Thank you for that gift! We were able to get a good portion of our shopping done. We had to stop because I just couldn't walk anymore.

Scott is a really good sport. We looked at so much. The Tiffany Store is amazing! So much Glitter! Every diamond sparkled and it was a treat. We didn't go in Pandora or Swarovski. Maybe next time. We also didn't see any of the lights or the store front windows. We are planning to go as a family next week so we wanted to be surprised. I think I'll have to go in the wheelchair for that trip. Cause we will go over to Temple Square too.
I thought for sure I would sleep like a baby. Nope, for the last 5 nights I can't fall to sleep before 2. It's a stupid cycle I get in. I never take a nap either.
We are slow to get the tree up. Well it's up, but no lights. A goal for today and tomorrow.
Just happy to be able to see the tree and the lights on at other peoples homes.
We want to give and do so much. Our pockets just aren't deep enough. It's hard to choose one charity over another. I always give throughout the year to the Road Home, Children's Justice Center, Red Cross, Shriner's Hospital in SLC (since I spent so much of my youth there), Christmas Box House, and Food Pantry. I try to also to give to penny's by the inch, quarters for Christmas, Secret Santa. If you can choose even one of these to also donate that would be wonderful. Your heart will hear it and your community will be grateful.
I know I am blessed. I don't have all the things I want. No one really should. I do have the most important things. A wonderful husband. One terrific son and lovable daughter-in-law, and a fantastic son. I have a home that protects me from the elements and it's large enough to have family gatherings in. I have the Savior in my heart. I can do so much. I used to be grateful that I live in this time period. It's still true. I am so very thankful for the abilities I do have, and that I can do hard things. My motto. I can do hard things.
I hope you can do hard things too. That you are grateful for all you have, you are able have sufficient for your needs, and can share with others.
