Xanthe's Baptism

X's baptism was such a wonderful day! I was able to give a talk and play Be Still My Soul on the flute with my mom. I was also able to help Xanthe get dressed when she came out of the water. She was shivering furiously even though the water was super warm. We hurried and got her into her dress, combed her hair and put on light pink flower clip in it. I gave her my pearl bracelet my mom and dad got me in China when they went to pick her up. She looked beautiful in her white and so pretty in her pink! I'm so thankful for Xanthe and the spirit I felt at her baptism. It was so strong! I cried through most of my talk and X's confirmation. I think I get it from my dad:) Congratulations Xanthe, you perfect girl!

Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
