At work last night, after checking a cute family out, they left the store, then quickly came back in. The mother looked at me and set down an open package of gum. She looked at her son, then back at me and said, "He stole. He needs a lecture." I was busy and knew it probably wasn't my job, so I called my supervisor. This boy was almost 3 years old; so little- so terrified. My supervisor invited him to the side, which took some coercing, but then started to explain what he had done wrong. The next mother in line told her kids, "This is what happens when you steal. Go listen to her." I was impressed by these mothers who took the extra time to teach their children right and wrong. I don't have experience raising kids- that day hasn't come yet. I don't know why it impressed me so much! It was a tender experience for me. I cannot wait until I have children. I believe it will be a little while, but when I do get to that point in my life, it will be wonderful. Easy? Heck no! But I am excited. I had an experience at work, and it made me excited about life! I needed something last night to keep me sane, and Heavenly Father provided one! I'm sure that experience had a lot more importance than just entertaining me, but I loved it nonetheless.
In choosing to be cheerful last night, I have big thanks to give.
Heavenly Father- Thank you for blessing me with so many wonderful people! I learned great things today and felt so loved and appreciated! I love you!
To my supervisor- thank you so much. I had a final paper that wasn't going to get finished if I stayed at work, you she allowed me to clock out for half an hour to focus on that. You even let me set up my computer at the Customer Service desk so I could work when there were no customers. AND- the cherry on top- when customers did come, you stepped up and helped them so I could continue working on my paper. I love you! Thank you for supporting me in my schooling and helping to calm my frantic nerves. I cannot tell you what that meant to me last night.

Tori- What a babe. Thank you for dropping me off and picking me up. The unnecessary effort also blessed me and allowed me to finish my paper. Couldn't have done it without you.
My N106 boys- Thank you for the hugs last night. You are so fun and sweet, and I needed that time with you (even if it was only a few minutes) so I could let go and relax. You are the best. I love you handsome men!
