#ReliefSociety Day 102

I don't know why it made me smile so much, but the Relief Society has a hashtag.  Perhaps it is because Justin Timberlake came out with a funny hashtag skit with Jimmy Fallon this past week and so lots of people know all about hashtags now.  Perhaps it is because it is an organization formed in the early 1800's....and now it has a 21st Century thing going for it lol.  Either way, I love the Relief Society and am so thankful tonight was the General Relief Society broadcast across the world.

I started off my day for 8 hours at a conference learning all about a really interesting topic.  I love my field of work and I am so thankful I get to help other people.  I was really nice to meet other clinicians today and get to talk about job opportunities here in the Dallas area.  Not this year, but next year I might start looking for a job again and at least now I have an area to look.  We had a nice lunch in the hospital cafeteria (I am kind of partial to hospital food and their ice....hospitals have THE best ice...having been in and out of one MANY times in one year you learn a thing or two lol).

So after my day of learning I headed home and got to spend a bit of time with my boys.  Always fun to hang out with them and give them all hugs and kisses.  Ginger even got some one on one mommy time and everyone was happy!  I got dressed and headed to church!

We had a great dinner before the broadcast and I sat with members from my ward and got to talk with them...always fun!  Then I went and visited with friends whose children are in Connor's preschool group.  I also got to meet a new friend tonight!  She sews and is so sweet and I can't wait to get to know her more!  I got to sit with her and my friend Lanay tonight.  I am so blessed to know some truly beautiful people, inside and out, here in my community already.  I felt so loved and I cherished the talks that I heard tonight.  They were a balm to my soul and very uplifting.  I am so grateful for our wonderful Prophet to leads us in these difficult times.  It was such a happy moment to know that I am loved and that God knows me, Jesus knows me, and they both love me for who I am.  We got to sing such beautiful songs tonight and Lanay is an alto and I am a soprano.  Singing next to someone else who sings well makes you want to sing even better!  It is a lot like how friendships should be as well I think, and I am grateful to be beginning some of those friendships with people!  Have a wonderful night all!  I am off again tomorrow to my continuing education class, but I found a beautiful little chapel just off one of the hallways near us so during our break I am going to go in and spend some time reading scriptures.  Looking forward to happy moments on Sunday.
