Pretty plates

I don’t have nice dishes, and it’s a problem. Of course, I live in a house full of kids, and things are prone to breaking, but for my health I will need pretty dishes! Here’s the deal: I’m terribly artistic and in some ways also obsessive. I have plastic plates that are all different colors. Different colored cups. Bowls that match nothing. I can do green and blue plates and cups, but if I have red or purple serving dishes it puts my mind in conflict. Often the right dishes are not clean, so we have a huge variety of styles and colors on the table. Yuck! It bugs me! This all may seem silly, but when my table bugs me, I eat lots more. I don’t take the time to enjoy my meal because the disharmony distracts me. My plan is to get some simple, lightweight white dishes. I don’t want to be obsessive about anything, but I do need some peace and visual quiet in my otherwise kid-chaotic house. I’m excited to find some dishes that I’ll like to eat from!

Fortunately, I love my silverware.

Spiritually Fed

Oh how I love Conference! It is pure nourishment to the spirit! Few things are as comforting as the sounds of Conference. It truly feels like a cold drink of water–vital and sweet and healthy. Mmm.
