Tuesday Tell-All

Today's assignment: Something(s) I can't live without.Absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt.....CHAPSTICK. THIS chapstick. I go seriously twitchy if I don't have creamy, smooth, slickery, greased-up lips.
If I couldn't go running, I would be on prozac. Or meth. Or valium. You get the idea.
This little number is slim enough to fit in your pocket or purse. Hey! Get your mind outta the gutter! It's a book lite. Essential to my daily life. Or nightlife. I use it every night to get to sleep whilst reading.


I really didn't expect to list this one, but I use my computer every day! Dozens of times every day, to be more embarrassingly accurate. So onto the list it goes!

Now for the stuff I really couldn't do without; the stuff essential to my very being.

The temple. Although I don't go daily (!) I couldn't live without the temple. At times (especially as a busy mom of 3), this is my only haven of sanctuary. The peace I find here is a true solace.
My Savior. I am thankful to have the knowledge that He guides me and speaks to me. I have felt the love and almost tangible presence of the Holy Spirit and of Jesus Christ when in my darkest, most needful hour. Thank goodness for the gospel and for a Heavenly Father who loves me. (and you!)

What, oh what, would I do without Mike? I have a good man. It has been an unexpected blessing to watch our relationship strengthen throughout our current trials.

(I have no idea where Max was when this picture was taken. Weird. And we're at Disneyland. Even weirder.)

Of course I couldn't do without my kids! They're so closely tied to my identity that they're just simply a part of me. A mother's love is the most intense, most fierce kind of love.
