Last night I wanted to die. I have had periodic, severe bouts of sinusitis over the years. Yesterday’s episode came on suddenly and hit me hard. Augmentin has been a life saver for me. I have taken countless courses of this antibiotic that combines amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin alone is not as effective against the bacteria that cause sinusitis. But the addition of clavulanic acid is a game changer and has rescued me many times.

I am growing to appreciate more deeply the temples of the Church.  They are special places of peace and worship.  They are special places to feel of the Lord’s plan for us as families.  I was able to attend the Manhattan Temple this past weekend and had a wonderful experience.  I am grateful to God for making His temples available to us.

 

I love bright colors.  I had a recent stroll through Central Park in New York.  It was a gray, overcast day with Spring still around the corner.  Yet there were elements of life in the park that made for meaningful images.  A bubble maker was present, adding fun and color to an otherwise drab backdrop of leafless trees and gray cement.  These bright, floating, fleeting, bubbles brought smiles and intrique to the onlookers that day.  I was glad to be there.  

 

 

 

Children are care free. They find joy in the present, in almost all situations. They do not worry about the past or the future.

We were on the train leaving New York when this young neighbor joined our world by peering through the crack in the seats. He was thrilled to catch glimpses of the short music video that Michelle was watching on my phone. I can learn a lot from the simple world of a child.

I am grateful to spend a few days in New York.  It is a treat to break away from the routines of life and see a less-familiar part of the country. We stayed with some dear friends and among other things had a wonderful stroll through Central Park.  Although the skies were mostly overcast, our experiences these past few days have been very bright.
