Despite food poisoning and intense lower back pain from straining some muscles last weekend, I found have some joys:
Went out to lunch with the work team to welcome the new girl yesterday...and the company paid for it. Cute French cafe in Old Town to boot. Score
Felt the spirit as I read some talks from BYU and was so grateful for the love and peace that immediately comes from inspired words of latter day apostles and prophets.
Good friends
Laughter (usually at myself)
Men who actually and sincerely treat women with respect.
The network of friends and connections in the church. I can't imagine moving across the country without that support system.
And flip flops. For days like today when my back is struggling and I choose to wear heels to work to complement my outfit.
