  2. Reading
    Getting face time in with friends
    Laughing
    A good night's sleep
    General conference
    Talking about things of the Spirit
    Prayer
    Exercise
    Being outside

    (And I can't believe how many of these I don't do on even a sporadic basis. What a reality check!)

  4. Baking.

    Baking for other people. You know.

    Writing something that makes me laugh. I love when I make myself laugh.

    Making something really cool by myself. Like marzipan fruits, or some art project, it's like I go zen. I lose myself in the creation of something, all the cares kind of slide away while I work.

    Listening to NPR. I am a voracious learner. I need to learn something new all the time. I want to think.

    Having a really great conversation. It just zings when you're talking with someone and the sparks fly, connecting at every level.

    Lovin' my babies.

    Reading. It can be something challenging like a Boyd K. Packer talk I just read, or light hearted, I love to read. Another chance to learn, I guess.

    Time by myself in silence. I need it.

    talking to my sister nearly everyday on the phone. she is so wise and such a blessing in my life.

  11. Metta has known my sister Lindsay, and myself since birth. Metta has even lived with our family a couple of times. So, we do consider her a sister, but she is not an actual sister. Do you know her?
