My Welcome HOME

was a fabulous

Sun goin down!

And ohhh what a sunset it was!

Good mornin Mornin!

It's great to be home, as the sun starts to rise

to greet the day.

A different view

of

CLOUDS

heading to

Salt Lake City!

I learned that in

Boise the expression for being "tough"

is

to

"Cowboy/Cowgirl UP"

and

in

Salt Lake City

one will say

"Precciate ya"

which is sorta like saying very very politely

"get outta my face"

both are ways of "not dealin" with that which gets beneath the surface, or "gets in your face"

issues!

Met some fantastic people along the way

I must tell you,

and

wouldn't ya just know it

I had not one,

but

two dissertation students in attendance

in

Salt Lake City!

One by the name of Holly and the other Louise!

Both treated me to lunch

and

Louise pulled out her pen

and before I knew it had drawn a lovely picture of

the USA on the paper that covered the table

while then writing notes and

letting me know that the state

of

UTAH

was the most stress FILLED state

in the country!

We talked about the dynamics of being a state

that was the most

"faith filled" and also the most "stress filled"

and the correlations of the two!

Could it be that it is stressful having so much faith

and

so much to live up to,

so many demands

so much

to do?

We had a marvelous day,

one evaluation reflected that the morning felt akin to a sermon to them?

Could it be that in a state of such strong faith

all lectures feel a bit like sermons?

OR

could it be that evaluations are a safe place

to just tell someone how you feel in general

for those who are showing signs and symptoms

of

compassion fatigue?

Particularly when one comes in

and

asks them to dig deeply into themselves

while taking the scab off their souls

and

their feelings that they work hard to keep covered

while doing so much for so many?

They were an awesome group!

The day ended with a driver picking me up;

as

I just felt being so very close to the

Mormon Temple

I would have to say

"I saw it"

so

I had a tour of

Salt Lake City

as

I did my traditional

Kamryn "hunt down" for his authentic

jersey of the state!

this one?

A Utah JAZZ jersey for the boy!

I was blessed with a "Jazzy" car and a driver who knew the city like the back of his hand!

He gave me a tour and a trip of all angles

of the town

on our way to a mall that was "outside"

and a promise to return for me with a phone call!

I asked him,

"Have you lived here all of your life, you sure do know your city"

He was a kind man who replied,

"No but I've been Mormon all my life!"

He sure knew the best angles to get me a few great shots from my phone!

Amazing it was!

I cannot remember all that he told me,

but

I enjoyed each word, each bit of information.

I kept his card and assured him

if

ever back in

Salt Lake City

I would be calling him!

I was successful for the Jazz shirt

and

as I wandered around this lovely outside mall,

who should my eyes feast upon

but the ever handsome

HEISMANN TROPHY WINNER

NFL GREAT

yEP

me and Hershel Walker

kickin it!

Then after a bit, after talking to him about my boys

I called

cuzzie Ang

and

said, "I'm here with Herschel", you want to say hello?

THUD

you should have heard her heart racing...

and when I finally handed him the phone

...

well let's just leave it with

"she ain't been right since"!

and

neither has my wallet,

since those Godsons

now have footballs signed by

NFL great

Hershel Walker

and are just giddy in Virginia

and

Angie

is just over the moon that SHE TALKED to that silky voiced

sweet gentle man by phone!

Oh yea baby,

the

Godmother is da bomb in VA I am told!

The night ended with me sitting and waiting on my driver;
watching the fountain show to music... as I reflected on my conversation with the NFL great and all that he has managed to do with his life... the resiliency of the human spirit if the "want to" is there and the grace of the CReator is leaned into to get us through..
Of course I was also hearing the "squeals of joy" in my other eAR as I recalled the voices in Virginia when I called and said, "I'm standing here talking to "Herschel Walker, what are you up to"!!!

Where ever you are... whatever you are doing today,

take BEST CARE OF YOU and know this:

you are your most precious YOU... look UP, look around, pay attention...

never know who you might just want to walk up to and say hello to along the way.

Walk in Beauty,
