Last weekend I had the honor of attending a sister week of a dear long time friend. This was 9th year of this great event. I have attended several of these gatherings in Indiana and Utah. So naturally when it was in Utah this year I arranged to attend. The sisters of this group are 5. Four are currently married. Three have children. 4 have jobs that they love. 5 find great strength in each other and love having a week with each other to recharge, renew and refresh.
All 5 of these women are wonderful, inspirational, hard working, smart, musically talented, creative, passionate, dreamers, caring and great citizens of the country. While they are such great women and I love each of them very much I have noticed a few things over the years. Only 1 sister seems content with her body size. 1 sister seems content with her life. She seems content with her relationship with her spouse. She loves being a mother even during the hard moments. She is a regular attending member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She honors her temple covenants. She seems happy-deep down happy. Is this because of her choices? Is this a result of how she was raised? What makes her so different? Do the other sisters recognize this? How can I be like this 1 sister?
I enjoyed my time with the sisters and I hope to continue to be invited in the following years. I also hope I can live a better life and be a happier and better person. These are simply my observations and hopes for myself.
