During the summer, our power went out for an hour or so and we all thought we were going to die without air conditioning. It's amazing how much we rely on conveniences like that without even really thinking about it.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Suzanne!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-91580371977648885752020-11-29T06:36:42.156-08:002020-11-29T06:36:42.156-08:00Thanks, Leslie!

I am so happy that there is technology nowaday to help manage DM (or other diseases) with greater ease. It always blows my mind how technology and healthcare are advancing. It really does make a huge difference in people's lives. While I do not have DM, I am grateful that the technology exists, that you have access to it, and I am grateful that people like you have a bit easier when it comes to managing their health problems. ❤️<br /><br />Beautiful post!Maya @HerBookishDesireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234662718755999016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-5293770109554812032020-11-24T18:32:50.537-08:002020-11-24T18:32:50.537-08:00Not completely, no :) I do hope things are looking...Not completely, no :) I do hope things are looking up with COVID.

I think it's great that you want to learn about and understand different religions - there are so many and they're all fascinating in their own ways. <br /><br />One thing I love about President Nelson is his sincerity. It shines through every time I hear him speak.<br /><br />I love what you said about books and your thirst for knowledge.
