Only The Good Die Young

Week 69  June 29, 2015  6:23 pm EDT     Only The Good Die Young

Time is short, so I made a list. Because everyone likes lists.

Things learned this week:

- stinging nettle comes from Satan himself

- how to cut curly hair

- old age is a pain. literally and figuratively.

- if you can quote movies well enough, you won't miss watching them

- how to pop a shoulder back into socket

- the power of everyday miracles: flipping nigh-impossible u-turns to avoid backing (for the record, Ford Fusions have the turning radius of a boat)

- the entire Relief Society Rap by Alex Boyé

- how to really stretch a dollar, a quarter gallon of gas and a roll of toilet paper

- stalkers happen. ET's happen (not the phone home kind.) and good things are always cut too short.

- sleepovers are always a solution.

​​- sometimes mourning with those that mourn and bearing another's burdens just involves being there.  or better yet, being there with ice cream.

- prank wars never get old, even if you do.

- if you truly want to love someone, learn their love language and actually use it.

- how to maneuver in traffic with a black box.

- tracting treasures will always be fun to find.

​- air conditioning is not mandatory, but it probably should be.

- if you need a reminder that there is still good in the world, teach Primary.

- sometimes you're the last person to recognize changes in yourself.

- there are few things as powerful as last words, especially when bearing testimony.

- time only accelerates.

- missions are forever.

"And inasmuch as ye are humble and faithful and call upon my name, behold, I will give you the victory."
