March 22, 2006: Wednesday: - ‘The Blessings of Angels’

We went to our granddaughter, Lauren's, birthday party. Her mother always plans such cute parties with fun themes. This year's was a Tea Party. All the little girls, ages 5-7, came atired in flowery dresses. I painted their fingernails while her other grandmother glued flowers on wide-brimmed hats for all to wear. Then they sat down to eat cake & ice cream and sip koolade from teacups. It reminded me of the Greg Olson painting, Tea Party.

Rex and I went to the temple later and that reminded me of the work on earth I love to do. I also visited some with Anna: energizing! We did grocery shopping, bookstores, Costco, office supplies… a full day. We arrived home about midnight.

Not surprisingly, all the activity proved too much for me. I lay in bed, exhausted, and that was a natural 'lead-in' to a panic attack: a little over 6 more days! I thought of the promised blessings of 'angels to be near me' and calmed right down. Sleep wasn't long in coming.
