Timing

"In all the important decisions in our lives, what is most important is to do the right thing. Second, and only slightly behind the first, is to do the right thing at the right time. People who do the right thing at the wrong time can be frustrated and ineffective. They can even be confused about whether they made the right choice when what was wrong was not their choice but their timing." --Dallin H. Oaks

I have found myself feeling frustrated with my life recently. I wanted something different, but I didn't know what exactly I wanted. I still don't know. But I'm making peace with not knowing, taking baby steps towards what I do know, and learning to be patient.

I highly recommend the whole talk by Elder Oaks, found here.

Things I want to do this year

See the poppy fields in late March/early April.

Go camping in Yosemite. I'm thinking sometime in August.

Visit the gardens at the Huntington Library.

Visit the main Getty Museum (did the Villa last year).

Do a session at the San Diego Temple.

Maybe visit San Francisco, if I can afford it and if I can find a good weekend to go.

If anyone would like to join me for any of this, let me know. Adventures are always better with friends.

Mindy's Musical Mood Alert Chart

Green = just chillin'; Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, Chris Botti
Yellow = get this party started; random running mixes, whatever's on the radio
Orange = stressed out; classical, Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Red = do NOT mess with me right now; Muse, Dashboard Confessional, "teenage angst music"

I had Muse cranked up loud enough to wake the dead on the way home tonight. You have been warned.
