Gratitude

Dear Lord,

I just want to say
I saw your hand in my life today.
I was weary and sad,
And my attitude quite bad.

And yet, through my tears
I remembered over the years
The moments of joy and peace
And at once, I had my sweet release.

Thank Thee, Lord,
for the smiles, laughter and pain
For the sun and the breaks in the rain
For the good and the bad.

Amen.

A Conversation with Bob

Dad: So ask Bob next time you talk to her about showering with an umbrella.

Bob: Well, Ninnie, I simply showered with an umbrella

Brittney: Why, Bobbie, did you shower with an umbrella?

Bob: Because it sounded like a good idea
B-)
<3
These things are so cool!!!!
:'(

Brittney: You are too funny for words
Was it a fun shower?

Bob: Well, Ninnie, It didn’t work
:P

Brittney: Didn't it work? Was the umbrella broken?

Bob: No

Cause, Ninnie, It made a loud sound
:P

Brittney: That’s why it didn't work?
Because it made sounds?

Bob: Yes
LOUD sounds
;)

by: Reilly

Brittney: That means it was a loud shower, not that it didn't work, you silly girl

Bob: Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The umbrella made a loud sound when the water hit it
:'(
:D
:D :D

Brittney: But how did that make the shower not work?
It just made it loud

By Reilly

Brittney: Did Reilly shower with you and the umbrella?

Bob: NO!

Dad: I had a bad umbrella experience as a child also. I jumped of the roof of the house thinking that I would float slowly to the ground.

Mom: She is cute.

She cracked me up when she was messaging you. Her words she uses are just toooo funny.

Brittney: She had me laughing. I still don't get how it didn't work. It did work, it was just loud,, as far as I understand.

Mom: Have you ever tried to shower with an umbrella? Maybe if you tried it, you would see why it did not work.

She showed me today how noisy it was. It was very important to her to let me hear how loud it was.

Try it some time. It is good for a dry shower. I do not know what made her think of showering with an umbrella!!

Only A Stonecutter

This is truly an amazing video. It is the TRUE story of an early pioneer. The whole thing is about 15 minutes or so, this clip is only 3 - which means some key parts are missing, like how he loses his leg in freak accident, and makes his own prosthetic leg. You can buy the movie here! It is so worth the money. Here is Deseret Book's synopsis of the movie:

"There are two kinds of people in this world, those who choose to act and those who are acted upon. In 1856 John Rowe Moyle and his family chose to act by leaving their beloved England, crossing the plains with the Ellsworth handcart company to eventually settle in Alpine, Utah. Soon after their arrival John Moyle was called by Brigham Young to work as a stone mason on the Salt Lake Temple. For 20 years he walked the 22 miles to Salt Lake City to chisel his deepest convictions into granite. Even after and accident causes him to lose his leg, John continued his sojourn to the temple site each week until his death. Today his handiwork can be seen on the east side of the Temple and verbalizes the motto of John's life, "Holiness to the Lord."

I wish I had this kind of faith. This man is truly, truly an amazing individual. The story was originally told by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, an Apostle in the
LDS faith, at General Conference.

Who likes candy? Not I!

I decided after Halloween, I was going off sugar. Completely. Cold turkey. It's been almost 3 weeks. It really hasn't been hard. One time, it was hard. For a work meeting, we brought in food from Joe Morleys. Good place, and they cater. Anyways, they have this delectable (well, it looks delectable and everyone about beat each other up to get seconds, so I am going with it is as delectable as it looks) ice cream/chocolate/fudge/Oreo pie. I wanted some. But I didn't cave. The worst part was when I was cleaning up, I got some fudge on my fingers. And you know, you instinctively just lick it off... I almost did so without thinking, but stopped!

I'm in another big meeting today, and Joe Morleys was requested again, mostly because of this before mentioned pie. Today, it was really not even hard to say no.

I was hoping to see some instant results. More energy, increased IQ, longer endurance, superpowers; something!

I feel none of that. BUT, I have noticed that my desire for candy, chocolate, sugar, etc, has consequentially decreased. Also, my cravings for fruit and healthy food has increased.

And I am happy to report, I was not addicted to chocolate! I experienced no headaches, fatigue or insane cravings after going off. Personal triumph. Lame, yes. But I take what I can get.

My original plan was to go off from Halloween to Thanksgiving. But I'm thinking, why not extend till Christmas?

Love Poem

I just received the best love poem ever. Thanks to my darling, fantabulous sister. Rambo - you are my heart and my soul. I'd lend you my socks any day. I'd give you my freckles, if I could. We have the same eyes.

"Like the sun shining through a throng of grey, comatose clouds, you, my love are the brilliant beam of ecstasy soaking me in a time of tribulation. Like the strapping burly roots of even the smallest Banyan tree burrow their heads into the earth, digging for a sustaining grasp… you my dear grab hold of me at the ankles, and root me firmly back to safety, back to the reality I wonder so distant to. Like the elegant, majestic seagull needeth the feathers fond of his back, and the ever-pushing air current beneath his outstretched wings to take flight, I too needeth you for the metaphoric air travel of life I am endeavoring forthwith With the pose of
magnificent swan, dancing upon a frozen lake as if inspired by the endearing hum of life. The beauty of a garnished crimson rose, comparable by none on this earth, or earths off in the soaring distance. The charm and charisma of tantalizing butterfly, fluttering its soft wings against the breeze beneath the trees. And the affection that only two, so intoxicated by innocent, precious love as we two are, Ninny, my sweet, my little buttercup, you are the most prized of souls and personages resting within my heart! I love you!"



Awww Shucks! I love you too Rambo! Thanks for the love poem, lover!

I love to see the temple!

Yesterday was the best day ever. Seriously, folks. I do not, cannot lie.

Work was good. I got lots of compliments on my hair. Always makes the day that much better. Especially when I didn’t do my hair. Well, I got it wet. But the rest was Divine Intervention.

I left work a smidgen early (I still got my 8 hours in – I didn’t take lunch. So leaving early is actually leaving on time. How’s that for a conundrum?). Anyways, after I got home I had a wonderful Cafe Rio salad, brought to me by the oh-so-fabulous Becki. Then we went to the Temple.

Can I just say, I LOVE the temple? The moment I walked in, I felt complete and utter peace, joy and happiness. I got the biggest smile on my face, and suddenly everything was ok. It is amazing how just walking into the temple, I feel that peace and joy immediately.

I love the cute old guys that sit in the entrance to the temple. They are so funny, sincere and happy to see me. Every time. I went to take my shoes off, and the cute old man said, "You know, I can almost remember the time when I could take my shoes off while standing up." I told him I thought he could, if he really put his mind to it. He also told me I had a good, strong name. Brittney Deanne Johnson.

I said thank you, it was a good name. And I believed it. Right then and there, I did believe it. It is fabulous how everyone is welcome and loved in the temple. No one knows your past or your faults or your weaknesses. All they see is a child of God. We are all equal. No one is better than anyone else, in the temple we are all equally welcome and loved.

I’m always so excited and happy to be in the temple, I skip up the steps to the dressing room. I always pause for moment, not sure that that is proper temple etiquette. But then I resume my bouncing, as I figure God would approve. After all, my skipping is the outward manifestation of the joy I feel inside.

After I was done, I took pictures of the temple. Can I just say it was an INCREDIBLY beautiful night?

Then, I went and watched the Joseph Smith movie with a friend. That movie always gets me. It was really great, how this time different events in the movie affected me. I had so many thoughts and impressions. It was wonderful.

The movie ended, we talked a bit, then Becki was done and we went home. Yesterday was one of the most incredible temple experiences I’ve ever had. I needed it.

I sometimes get stuck in the trap of self-pity. Thinking things are so hard; my life is so hard, so many bad things have happened to me… but really, hard is having people hate you because of your religious beliefs. Hard is having people yell at you, hurt you, hurt your family. Hard is watching your loved ones beaten, tarred and feathered, and driven out of their homes. Hard is leaving everything you own and trudging thousands of miles in the snow.

Sometimes, I have a hard time maintaining my faith because I feel like God’s abandoned me. And by abandoned, I mean things I think should be happening, aren’t. Take for example the temporary status of my job and the emotional turmoil associated with it. I am doing my best, shouldn’t things work out? They don’t seem to. And at times, I doubt His love for me. I lose faith because I can’t see the big picture – all I can see is a small piece that looks pretty grey and bleak. And then I dwell in self-pity.

And then I see/read about what the pioneers went through (and many, many others. I am specifically referencing the pioneers here because of watching the Joseph Smith movie). They went through a heck of a lot more than I ever have. How could they not, at times, feel like God had left them? Yet the whole time he was forming them into the best versions of themselves they could be, and leading them to the Great Salt Lake Valley. I have been a lot of places – and this Valley is incredibly beautiful. I love living here, as far as beauty goes. But it didn’t come instantly – this place was a desert when the pioneers came.

Sometimes I feel like my life is like that desert (I know it’s not! Remember the self pity part?). And the Lord is slowly planting seeds – I just can’t see them yet. And one day, it will be in full bloom. I just need to have the faith to keep tromping along. I am trying.

Today was a greatly needed reminder of how much God loves each and every one of us. And that happiness does not lie in money, possessions, or in the things we think we need – it is found in the simple beauty all around us. In the simple ways God blesses us each and every day. If I’m looking/waiting for the big miracles in my life I think I deserve, I miss the little miracles every day.

Britt's Gratitudinal

In honor of Thanksgiving, I'm going to write at least one thing I am thankful for every day this November. I'll just update this post, so I have them all together. I'm trying to write things that are not obvious - big things. I'm trying to look for the little things that add to my life - that I don't normally think about, or thank God for.

November 1

I am thankful for Soft Sounds of Sunday. I know that sounds retarded, but truly I am. Every Sunday I get out of bed and turn it on, and leave it on all day until bedtime. For some reason, the music they play is way better than any of my CD's. I'll leave it on no matter what I'm doing - including watching a movie. I don't want to miss a moment. I just turn down the volume. I just love that I'm listening to Church music on the radio. I will say at least 5 times throughout the day on Sunday, every Sunday, "I love Soft Sounds of Sunday!" And smile really big, and do some type of weird shoulder shake and/or dance.

I LOVE SOFT SOUNDS OF SUNDAY!

November 2

I am thankful for daylight savings! It was actually light when I left for work this morning!! It was sooo nice!

I am thankful for earplugs. So thankful!

November 3

I am grateful for free food. It means I don't have to cook! Or spend money.

I am grateful for fruit.

Today, the free food came in the form of fruit. YUUUMMM....

November 4

Today I am thankful for the singles’ lunch we had at work. There ARE single people working in the Great and Spacious Building! (Some people refer to the huge ICS building, the Riverton Office Building, as the Great and Spacious Building - it has a lot to do with the fact that we are so isolated from Church Headquarters. And it is just a massive building).

We ate, talked, laughed, and simply enjoyed knowing that for maybe the first time since moving in, we are not alone in the plight of the single LDS Church employee!

I am thankful for my curly hair. I didn’t do anything to it today, left the house with it dripping wet, and have gotten so many compliments. Makes me ohhhh-so-happy!

I am thankful that my office is right next to the bathroom. Some people are a whole building away from it. Anyone who knows me well will understand just why this is something I am truly thankful for.

Also, I am thankful that I wasn't the one who broke the elevators today. For a good hour I thought it was my fault, and I am pleased to announce it was not me!

November 5


I am thankful for
Temples! I am thankful that I live by so many! I am thankful for the cute old couples in the temple who are so friendly and nice.

I am thankful that Becki bought me Cafe Rio for dinner yesterday. Pulled pork salad... HOLY MOLY, BABY! I am also thankful for Cafe Rio, just in general.

One more thing: I'm thankful for the
Joesph Smith movie. Oh... and Temple Square. And the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and their big screened movie theater. And the missionaries who help you find the Joseph Smith Memorial Building when you can't figure out which path goes around the temple and which one ends in a brick wall. And the Christus in the Visitor's Center. I am so thankful for that... it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

November 6


I am thankful for my
carpool. At first I was hesitant, but it has come to be a huge blessing. Living without family around, it can sometimes be lonely. My car pool has become a little family. We wait for each other at the end of the day, and that's nice. They know all the happenings of my life. Did I get budgets done like I had planned? How did the early meeting go? Did you run into the tight pants guy today? What are you up to tonight?

It’s just nice.

We have routines down too, and I love that. Every morning we listen to the scriptures and/or talks. Brittany and I put on our make-up while Jason drives.

On the way home we fight over music and tease Jason. I am so thankful for these people in my life and the small void in my single life they fill.

I’m thankful for the extra large can of Lysol that kills 99.9% of germs.

I’m thankful for whiteboards. For any additional information, ask Camree. She’ll tell you.

November 7

I am thankful for fall! Today is the most beautiful day. It's warm, sunny and the leaves are incredible.

I am thankful for good friends. I have some pretty awesome friends.

I am thankful for answers to prayers.

November 8

I am thankful for church! I am thankful I have the opportunity to go to church every week, and for the things I learn. I am thankful that Jeni told Gloria about the temple prep class, and Gloria told me, and told me to come with her.

I am thankful for my cowboy boots. I would wear them every day if I could.

I am thankful for the movie Anne of Green Gables. Also, for the movie Crocodile Dundee.

I'm thankful for a fabulous weekend. I'm thankful for a long, great talk and walk with a fabulous friend on a beautiful day.

I'm thankful for late-night chats with wonderful people in the Hobbit Hole (HA HA).

I'm thankful for family that doesn't give up on me, even when they have every reason to.

November 9


Today i'm thankful for Rusk's silk searum. It makes my hair feel like silk. Serioulsy. I'm not kidding. It's the most wonderful thing ever. Sadly, they've stopped making it. I can't fathom why. You can still find it on Amazon, though! :)

I'm thankful for my cherry dress and my pearl headband.

I'm VERY thankful for my office-mate, Julie. She is so sweet and I love sharing an office with her. I would be so sad and lonely in an office by myself. She listens to my complaints, my bad date stories, my bad work stories, and is so great. I just finished venting to her, and it made me feel better. I am super duper grateful to be sharing an office with her.

ALSO - I'm just throwing this out there - I am thankful for Josh Groban. Mostly for his music more than for him specifially as a person. So She Dances is one of my favorite songs ever.

November 10

I'm thankful for the scriptures and the effect they have on me. I woke up in a bad mood and by 8am had a serious of very frusterating events. I listened to the Book of Mormon on the way to work, and was in a MUCH better mood.

I'm thankful for kneaders and their turkey avacado sandwich.

I'm thankful for ice skating. And not falling.

November 11

I am grateful that Julie ordered food for me when I asked her to, for a meeting I forgot to order food for. Everyone applauded when I walked in with the goodies - and I was SO thankful for her saving my life.

I am thankful for not getting stuck in the elevator shaft once this week.

I am thankful for pizza and good discounts.

I am thankful for Becki's birthday.

I'm thankful the cookie that Julie put on my desk didn't even look good.

November 12

I am thankful for showers and yummy smelling bath soap and razors! This morning I have silky smooth legs, i assure you.

I'm thankful for MY CAR! Flipper the Dolphin Car, you and I, my friend, make a great team.

I am thankful for Macaroni grill.

I am thankful for capers and artichokes and asparagus.

I am thankful for my super run/talk with April last night.

I'm still thankful for Becki's birthday.

I'm thankful for my pretty black lace top.

ANNNDDD.... I, Brittney Deanne Johnson am SO SUPER GRATEFUL, MORE THAN I CAN SAY, FOR....

COUNTRY MUSIC

I could go on and on and on and on and on on on on on on..... but i'll leave it at that. Country music, you make my heart sing. We are two of a kind. You get me through the work day with a smile on my face and a dance in my heart.

November 17

I am thankful I beat the lady next to me at bowling. It was only 2 points, but I am thankful for those 2 points.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO thankful for my GPS! My GPS saves my life more than I could EVER explain, express or expound on. When all the world turns against me, my GPS is there to guide me back to safety. I am thankful to the Lord for creating GPS's, and for my mom and dad for getting me a GPS for my birthday, when my old one died and I was lost all the time.

Love,
Brittney
