Grateful for the Past

In the past two days I traveled back into the memories of my past and shared them with present. I am so grateful for the experiences of the past. I was reminded that they are what made who I am today. Every bad choice and every good choice that was made.

Then I was able to make some kind of amends with part of that past and help my kids get through a very scary and stressful 2 days, as their father was in the hospital with chest pain. It's funny to think with all the hurt and pain that we through with our divorce that I can still say that I love him and care what happens to him. As I called his wife and left the message that they were in my prays and to let me know if there was anything I could do for them I felt a huge weight leave my spirit.

Then the hole left was immediately filled with love and gratitude for the past as I realized how much it has helped me to prepare for the present. In the present I have a strong love for my Savior and his atonement. I also have a love for Nick and all that we share together in our new relationship. And the love of my kids and my family.
