"But, behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance."
--1 Nephi 1:20, Book of Mormon

"I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us and that the Redeemer of Israel is eager to bestow such gifts upon us."
--Elder David A. Bednar, April 2005 LDS General Conference

Renewal

I slept in my bed last night for the first time in I don't know how long. I've been sleeping on a couch in the next room because there is a fireplace and I wanted to keep warm. But, my body needs my bed. This week I have spent enough time on the computer and watching TV that my eyes became very worn out. When that happens I also get very dizzy. Add to that not getting enough sleep and it's a recipe for disaster--which it was. Luckily, I did not work a morning shift today, so I cleared off my bed (another reason I haven't slept in it), pulled up the covers and had a nice long sleep which allowed me to get rid of my headache and help my dizziness dissipate. I have pretty good health. I've had issues here and there, but still it's pretty good. If I say I am grateful for that, then I have to really be grateful by taking care of it. So, I'm renewing my goals again today, but I am going to try and be satisfied with small steps because I simply cannot do big steps right now.

I am grateful for a good night's rest, a head without a headache, and eyes that see straight. I am also grateful that I still have a chance to help my body feel better.
