You're About to Forget the Whole Thing. . .

. . . Then all at once, it's Spring! I hope that everyone had a fabulous first day of Spring. In Seven Brides For Seven Brothers they celebrate Spring by climbing tress, holding animals, frolicking through fields, and sitting over meadows ( while singing mind you). Although I'm not doing

any of those things (not for a lack of wanting to), I am happy to report that the weather is getting warmer, all the snow is gone, and today I spotted green buds on a tree. Seeing green buds on the first day of Spring is rather romantic and put a lot of hope in my heart that the green scenery I love will be among us again soon. Welcome Spring and all the lovely things you bring with you!

Socializing is Inevitable

For those of you who know me well you know I am not a very social person. I mean can a girl help that she was born shy? However, my ward and calling is forcing me to not only socialize, but plan the socializing. It all began a couple weeks ago when my bishop asked if I would be willing to work on the enrichment committee. When one doesn't like organized fun the word entrichment brings up emotions of fear. After I calmed myself down, however, I eventually thought it wouldn't be too bad. Yesterday someone in the Relief Society asked me if I could come to her house to talk about the calling and pick up my folder. I went over and soon after our meeting started I realized, with some horror, that I was not only on the committee but was the leader. As we continued to talk I just tried to brush it off like it was previously known that I was the leader. As I began to think about it I was a little freaked out. I've never lead anything and I'm not very social. Now I need to lead people in the socializing. What to do, what to do. . .

P.S. Despite my fear, I am glad for the opportunity. I am a woman now and should learn not fear socializing and organized fun.
