Advice........
It is really strange the last few weeks I have been having some friends going through some really tough things and have asked me for advice. I am usually not shy about giving my thoughts and opinions but latley have found it really difficult. I haven't had any one to really talk to in a while and I am usually not giving advice more than recieving it for myself.. That I feel a litttle out of touch. I am glad they came to me but I wonder sometimes why. I used to pride myself in being there for my friends and just casual accquaintences. Latley I just have been out of commission with my own troubles that I have had to really rely on the spirit to help my friends. It is funny how quickly we forget our own troubles and how we made it through them. Needless to say I feel that I have followed the spirit in both these situations and am Happy to report that I know I am not as smart as I once thought I was. Yes that is my way of saying I think I have been humbled. Well I hope those friends realize that their struggles are helping me with some of my own.

I miss the days of us just chatting at work about life and things! You ARE great at giving advice and you are a great listener - to people and the spirit.
If we could see inside each other and understand what everyone is dealing with the world would be a more compassionate place, I think. Hang in there! Congrats to Chad on his new job.
Well I will tell you this. No matter if you give me advice or not, I always feel like you are listening, and sometimes that's all people need is someone to listen without passing judgements or Bias's. I can only hope that I can be a great sister as you are to me. And I agree it's funny how we kind of forget how we got through those tough times, Heavenly Father is so aware of us... And we can only become like him and live with him if we are not but humble. I love you sister your the best!!
