Dear Yesterday.

It all started when I turned my alarm off in my sleep. I awoke to my father asking if I was ready for church yet and if I wanted waffles. I stumbled downstairs and watched my dad cook fresh ones for me because he loves me. I love my dad. He takes such good care of me, The Woman, and my mother. He’s given me a great example of how a man should take care of his family. After I finished, I realized that I had about ten minutes before we had to leave for church, to insure we get ‘our pew’, and my hair needed to be washed. I washed my hair in the sink and put some strange foaming stuff I found under my mom’s sink while I was looking for her blow-dryer. I put on a strange outfit (I’ve never found matching to be important) and no makeup. By the time I walked into the familiar red-bricked church building, my hair looked as if I had put my finger in an electrical socket. We got our row and the man behind me cheated in our races to see who can to the hymn first. The talks were really good on this day. A man spoke, I’ve always thought he looked like a very nice man, and he gave a very profound quote that his mother says, “You cannot play in the mud without getting dirty”. Whoa. Deeeepp. When it comes to life, you can either be a good person or a bad person. It’s that simple.
I then went to Sunday school, which was taught by one of my favorite men in the world. He’s a world traveler. He’s also very great. One day, I’ll understand things like he does. A little girl was sitting with her parents in front of me. She proceeded to play with me the whole time. Mooing like a cow when we got to the C page of her ABC book. In relief society we talked about the priesthood, which is one of my favorite things about my faith (to learn more about it visit www.lds.org). The priesthood just makes everything better. It’s one of the greatest gifts that has been given to man. It was a very good day at church.
I then had to go to work. I was in a place where I could see a lot of people and I people watched for eight hours. One of my managers said a very profound thing, “You have to be able to be silly with a person, if you can’t the relationship is doomed. If you can’t be silly, then you can’t let your guard down, and if you can’t let your guard down then the person can’t really know the real you. You have to be able to be silly”. Whoa. Deeeepp. After work I came home and watched Criminal Minds for three hours. Day complete.
