Easter is Approaching...

I love the sentiment of this sketch. I have been putting in long hours on campus finishing my paper so I can finally get my degree. The sophomores have finished their museum project and are getting letters today about how their portfolio review went. It is stressful to be their instructor during this time, they all work so hard. So today Dusty and Carol and I sat in her office and talked about the world and listened to music and sang along badly and laughed really hard and had a grand ole time, just like the old days... hmmm.... it wasn't that long ago we would do this all the time but we are all so frenetic this time around.

Oh I didn't write it, but I feel it. It was written by Mary Oliver who is incredibly talented at capturing the spirituality of ordinary moments.

Hi DeAnn,
I very often think of you. You have accomplished much and have lived a very eventful life. You have met wonderful people from around the world, you are about to get your Masters. Wow, how do you do it??? You have truly been blessed. Your husband and your children love you dearly. Today, while I was listening to conference there was a talk that touched my heart and I just wanted to pass it on to you and hope that you have the time to watch it or listen to it or read it. It was Sunday Morning April 5, 2009 General Conference Session the talk was given by Dieter F. Uchtdorf. It was the first talk of the day. Jeffrey R. Holland also spoke in that session, it was also an excellent talk. These talks will help you heal with the pain that you have had. I pray for you and Darren often. I hope this isn't taky writing in a blog comment box. I just felt a deep love for you and wish for true happiness to return on a regular basis for you. I promise that as you read these talks the spirit will whisper in your heart and will help in your healing process.
I love you
Dixie
