Doesn't that pumpkin pie look delicious? Today I had to buy a few cleaning supplies, on the same aisle are glade candles. I love candles, I have such a weakness for them. I love glade candles because they are cheap and have strong scents. I saw that they had pumpkin pie scent and well I caved and bought one. I know it's not the Fall yet but I really want it to be. I'm getting tired of the hot weather. I know after a month of the cold I'll want it to be summer again, but I'm just ready for a change. I'm excited to light my candle smell the pumpkin and pretend it's October :)I appreciate everyones comments on my Passion post. I also appreciate emails and calls I got. I really didn't mean for it to be a pity me post. I love though that I have such a strong support system. I've been doing so much thinking and praying trying to figure out what is missing. I had a really good talk with Alyssa today that helped me a lot. I have a couple of ideas that I think will help me find a way to contribute or improve myself I don't really know what I'm looking for. I have delved more into my hobbies this week so I appreciate the encouragement there with my sewing. I have been trying to think of a way to sew and serve or better yet make a little money.
I think I'll take a night class at UVSC since we get tuition free. I'm thinking of either a writing or an accounting class. I have thought to my childhood and remembering what I loved. I wanted to be a sports reporter covering exclusively the NBA . I don't know why I didn't pursue writing ever in college. I also loved math, it was always my strongest subject and again why I didn't pursue a major in college that was math related.. I don't know. what did I even do in college? I got a degree in something I was some what interested in but the fastest way to graduation. Not a great plan! I'll keep everyone updated on my decisions.
Last by not least, I've started doing a daily devotional with the kids. WE do it before I lay Joshy down for his morning nap. It's really short. We sing an opening song, pray, I give a short short lesson (yesterday on kindness, today on service) we have a closing song and prayer. Kira loves it. I've read on other blogs about moms doing this or reading the Book of Mormon with older kids and I thought hey I could do that!

Oh, that candle sounds absolutely delicious. I am so ready for fall also. I really sincerely hope you find a passion and what you need. I love the devotional idea for everyday. I bet it also helps you focus more on what is important. Your awesome Diana
That's really cool about the devotionals with your family--they'll learn great habits! And good luck with the UVSC classes--I think that's a great idea!
Diana,
Love glad candles too. I'm pretty much a candle-a-holic, but am also too nervous to leave them burning for too long, so I don't think I enjoy them as much as I could. I need to get a burner that doesn't require flame...
I should write you a letter with some pointers from Elder Bednar's talk this past weekend in our stake. It was so poignant and I wish he would publish it churchwide because I feel it is such a needed subject. He spoke on prioritizing and what we really need in our lives to be happy and it sounds like your example of the daily devotionals are right down his line of talk. That's a great idea and the kids will remember that forever if you are consistent. I want to definitely do something like that with my kids. Thanks for the example! Love you!
