every once in a while {every time}, conference will make me feel like i am the only one in the room.

like it was meant for just me.

of course, i know that is selfish, but this talk was something i needed to hear. he said “don’t forget to be happy now.” and he talked about how we often wait for our “golden ticket.” sometimes i do that. i sit here in my perfectly happy, yet sometimes less-than-ideal life, and think, “oh, but when we move… and make enough money to sleep in peace….etc.” 

he’s right, as usual.  life IS so happy right now.

“You are not forgotten.

Sisters, wherever you are, whatever the circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you, with an infinite love.”

                                             —President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

i can’t wait to hear more.

i already feel lighter.
