General Conference is always great. I felt inspired to live more like Christ. I also felt that my best efforts should go to my family…which helps when I think of all the projects I’d like to do that I don’t ever get to, or do super slowly, or the garden design business that fails to bring in business.

But I have to admit that my attention was at times drawn elsewhere. I missed entire talks sleeping or getting distracted and only took four lines of notes. My excuse is a lovely sinus infection in my left cheek. I’m a horrible complainer when I’m in pain too. My husband pointed out that I tend to harp on other people when they complain, but then freely do it myself. I’m hypocritical when it comes to pain. There’s a new resolution in the making: don’t complain myself, and then be sympathetic to the pain of others.
