Week 2 of my 'limited media as a cure for boredom' and I am feeling better off without it. I do miss being able to communicate with friends and family, but I feel so much more like me without it.
Also, at church today I was given a new calling. I am fairly excited about it - but my ego is already in full swing. People, I need to find a non-humiliating way to humble myself... I don't want it to 'hurt' but I do need to get better at this.
It was Mother's Day today and so my brother, his girlfriend, and my cousin all came up - and we got to talk with my older brother - currently on a mission in Portland - a great day. My siblings and I worked hard to get a few surprises for Mom, though I think she suspected more than she let on, which is slightly depressing. Oh well.
I miss feeling 'at home' and 'belonging' - something I haven't really felt for over a year. But more importantly, I miss the joy of feeling grateful for the blessings in my life. I miss noticing the hand of the Lord in the big and little areas of my life, and I miss the security and hope I have when I am faithful.
I am definitely a work in progress, and I feel like I am still progressing further, which is great. So, I will try again tomorrow. :)
