wisdom in a wink skip to main skip to sidebar wisdom in a wink sunday april 18 2010 one more thing and then i ve got it it has been difficult to put my thoughts and feelings into written form since losing my incredible angel mother mom was always there always eager to talk usually just as we were eating since there s a two hour time zone difference always working on a stitchery or a story excited to share her thoughts or her garden s treasure yields how do i bring a zucchini back to ohio i can t put it all into words that s simply the problem i can t describe the hundreds if not thousands of times that she helped me put things into perspective and one thing i haven t had to do is learn how to grieve until now so i plunged wholeheartedly into something that i could do that would be productive that would walk me through the process without my having to think or create major plans or follow a set schedule that something turned out to be my young women personal progress i had no idea it would help me through the grieving process i just clung to it like a drowning person to a lifesaver as something i could do when i started to think too much and cry and it helped a lot some days i would spend several hours working on my personal progress or i would get started on another project and i would have a meltdown so i would go back to the ottoman in our living room and sit and study some more and work on my personal progress the exercises in each value gave me perspective and gave me peace they were almost like having my mother there in the room to talk over things with me i could reflect upon the messages and i could see a little more ahead to how i want my life to be one of my projects was caring for her the night she died and helping dress her body for burial and following up with caring for her little dog meggie and her things i loved sharing much of that experience with my sisters i wanted to include this time with her as a tribute to her and to have that be a permanent part of my personal progress record another project was working up to and achieving a 5k i did that yesterday another was to read the book of mormon which i finished last week there were more of course 8 in all each requiring a minimum of 10 hours in the project i rearranged a file system created a healthy recipe book and coached someone in personal development but i think from the standpoint of my own pleasure my favorite is the one i have yet to complete the one i am working on today and hope to finish soon it is a song my hymn of praise to a kind wise heavenly father who allowed me to have my mother as my mother as a sacred important part of my life i don t have the music written down yet but the music is in my head and these are the words of my hymn no matter what your burdens be they will be lightened as you humbly come to me my tender mercies help you face all burdens come child and be held in my embrace when i find all around me is chaos and despair i look up to the heavens and he is always there and when life overwhelms me or filled with loneliness i kneel and call upon him he reaches out to bless me be still and know that i am god peace will come in mine own due time and you will know the love you seek my love sublime my love sublime these words of hope and peace and joy i wrote for you come unto me and i will show you they are true come unto me know i am here know that i love you i am always near posted by cristie at 11 19 am 1 comment tuesday february 2 2010 hey i m not inactive just a little note to let you know i m not inactive i am merely a chrysalis waiting to emerge give me a few more warm days and when spring hits i m back on track posted by cristie at 9 14 am no comments tuesday december 22 2009 our new baby christmas love i wish i had the expertise to really make this picture big i ll try to do better in the future but we are so grateful for our new little christmas blessing robert andrew gardner robbie was born december 18 after a very long and difficult labor difficult for him because his heart rate went down so much with each long contraction several times it looked like melodie would have to have a c section and we prayed multiple times during the day for both of them our little robbie has relatively few negative anomalies he is nursing quite well and seems to be gaining weight he is adorable and cute and wonderful and we are grateful to have him here we are also grateful for melodie s courage and grateful for caitie s healing gifts and generosity coming to work on melodie so that a c section was not necessary more later i m having a blast with the family posted by cristie at 5 31 pm 2 comments monday december 14 2009 happy birthday to our jeff yesterday was a special day for a very choice man our favorite son in law jeffrey holland wright happy 25th birthday jeff i met jeff last year when he was caitie s best friend there wasn t any real romance so to speak at least not from her perspective she told me she thought he was incredibly handsome and super nice but i m glad the friendship part of their relationship is what developed first caitie had time to watch how jeff handled problems how he served how he genuinely cared about people and how trustworthy he is then over time she realized she was in love with this guy i m so grateful for jeff a few weeks ago caitlin told me that every morning she wakes up and can t believe how blessed she is to be married to jeff so they ve only been married a little over 3 months but i d like to share some of the things i love about jeff 1 he is focused on serving 2 he adores caitlin and he shows it 3 he is willing to move out of his comfort zone to provide for her 4 he is a willing and helpful worker 5 he is full of kindness 6 he is even tempered 7 he is very bright but 8 he is modest about it 9 he is loyal and honest and 10 he fits perfectly in our family i love that he loves to sing so for now and for all eternity i m grateful that jeff is part of our family and sorry i can t resist it even though i know it s so old i m glad caitie married the wright guy posted by cristie at 7 40 am no comments labels birthday caitlin family jeff singing saturday december 12 2009 breakfast launch and dinner whew one thing i have been learning as i ve made the adjustment from writing daily in my journal to posting more often on the website is that my daily life doesn t typically provide fodder for a daily posting there s a lot going on of course but it s just kind of challenging to take the time to think of a topic and write something worthwhile for those who do i salute you but today i can tell you about what has been consuming our lives for the past week our launch of stan s new supplement line primivia nutritional supplements as of this entry we have 108 orders for our free note that free bottle of supplements the concept of giving supplements away free is josh s brainchild he couldn t sleep he was so excited about the idea we discussed the pros and cons at length together as a family at thanksgiving the consensus was that when people get on the products they will want to stay on them because they ll feel so much better so to get people on them we had to create an offer so compelling they couldn t refuse this compelling offer has taken most of our waking thoughts and energies poor dave did not sleep at all the night before the launch went live we were testing links and checking prices and writing sales letters right up until the final moment i actually did something funny i sent everyone on our list a live link to the site so we had about 10 people jump our launch beginning time by a few hours the whole thing wore us out and rejuvenated us at the same time i have to confess that it is really exciting to see line after line on my account read a new order was placed for stan gardner md and get new traffic to our site way more than ever before and i think this is a good start for an ongoing program that will help a lot of people heather even put a link on her blog pretty awesome to have a family that supports our crazy business ideas or comes up with them in the first place posted by cristie at 2 19 am 1 comment labels launch nutritionals supplements vital primivia monday december 7 2009 goal diggers plots and planners last year we were visiting matt and brit and they showed us the exciting progress they had made on their goals they created a chart that they posted in their bedroom of their financial progress with space on the sides for their physical fitness goals and other achievements they wanted to accomplish during the year well it took us a while but i m pleased to report that i have become a goal digger i dig this whole system we drew a giant goal thermometer on a poster board and hung it over our door so we can look at it any time we want the thermometer contains our ginormous to use heather s word financial goals and we put little boxes to the side for our other goals in past years i ve gotten a little bit discouraged because it seemed like every new year i d realize that i was rewriting the same old resolutions could have saved the paper and just used it over and over this year is slightly different i have almost learned how to play two hymns on the piano i keep track of the times i ve practiced in my little boxes we have driven to pennsylvania and found grave sites of my ancestors i have finished the entire bible cover to cover read jesus the christ and the book of mormon i still have about 20 more boxes to check off with the workout section which is cutting it pretty close and i m supposed to read books by c s lewis and emerson i m working on one with adam smith on the wealth of nations not an easy read but the big deal for me what i really dig is being able to keep track of making real progress on a side note stan s planner was lost while we were in pokie for us that s tantamount to disaster case in point yesterday was sunday we came home from church pretty tired and wanted to change out of our church clothes into jammies fortunately the realtor had asked us to make the condo available for someone to come look at it so we stayed in our suit and dress i threw some pot pies from costco into the oven for an easy dinner and we waited until the people came to see the house we were nonplussed when the doorbell rang a second time while the realtor and his group were here it was a family coming for their son s patriarchal blessing yikes they had made the appointment months ago and it had been recorded in stan s planner and forgotten we remarked to each other afterward what a tender mercy it was to have the realtor bring some people by or we would have been sitting in our jammies eating pot pies when they came posted by cristie at 2 36 am 1 comment labels goals planner friday december 4 2009 minding the gap this morning i read the text of a talk i heard in september about minding the gap by barbara thompson it is a terrific reminder of many aspects of life including our relationship with god as his daughters and our relationship with each other even our relationship with ourselves this last concept particularly caught my attention as i thought about various areas of my life where i want to mind pay attention to the gap the discrepancy between an objective and something else that distracts me from my objective say for example i wanted to mind the gap between what i know about health and how i choose to spend my time eating healthy and exercising or mind the gap between wanting to be able to play the piano and how i choose to spend my time practicing or not you get the idea so i decided to make a short list of a few of the areas where i want to be more mindful of the gaps in my life i could probably go on for pages but it usually is most effective for me if i create a short and manageable list so here goes i m going to mind the gap more in these areas 1 ideas and action 2 budget and unfrugal expenditures my spell check tells me unfrugal isn t a word tough 3 being fully present with people and trying to get the most done in the least amount of time posted by cristie at 6 43 am no comments labels
