It snowed today, nine inches in Salt Lake Valley and now it's our turn.
Since I moved to Utah Valley, I've had the feeling like I'm in an afterlife. When I look out the window at our neighborhood once I was moved to tears. It was so beautiful.
This year, I decided not to shovel the driveway. There is now an impenetrable six inch slab of ice. It would take a monumental effort to chip away at that. I think that is perhaps how it is with grudges, bad feelings, and bad habits. It takes a continuous effort to keep them clear-- to forgive often and make small course corrections.
Today, I feel inclined to say a word of encouragement to young readers (ages 12-16). Keep your chin up. Life gets better. Whatever you are going through, it gets better and you will get past it and be a stronger person for it.

You never have to worry about what you are writing. I thought that it was heart felt, and I think it takes guts to write from your heart. Always write from your heart, and you can never do wrong. What you said really made me think, and that is the whole point.
Thank you,
Jay
