Tonight I thought I had lost something very important to me. I prayed to Heavenly Father that I might be able to get it back. I thought that maybe I had treated it too casually, and carelessly left it around–while distracted talking to a friend. Looking for it, I had memories of it being with me, but yet it wasn’t there. I walked down the block thinking what I could do to get it back. I used my flashlight to check the shadows where I might have left it. I even broke into one of my neighbors apartments to see if I had left it there, but it was missing (and I didn’t wake my neighbors up). Eventually though, when it seemed that there was no where else to look, I found it.

All at once all the stress and emotions of the thought of having lost it where flipped, and I almost cried. Immediately, I thanked my Heavenly Father for helping me find it. Then I thought that I should write about my little story by sitting on the yellow picnic table in the middle of the night.

Any guesses as to what I might have lost?

You wrote me a message,
I wrote you a song.
You asked for forgiveness,
I told you, you’re wrong.

You wanted a hero
I gave you a friend
You required perfection
Things came to an end

You lost ordinary words
Just to say hello
I lost control
And let the tears freely flow

You were far, far away
When I needed you most
Now I think I lost you
and days when we were close.

Today I thought that I would try some mountain biking on Squaw Peak, a few minutes from where I live. I have to admit, that I wasn’t ready for the challenge, but thats ok, because the more I work at it, the better I’ll get over the summer.

I was at the store the other night, and I saw root beer, orange cream and black cherry sodas, cranberry juice, and the list goes on. It made me think, what would be the finest single beverage you could just sit back, relax, and drink.

I think for me, I would like a nice bottle of fine, smooth, root beer, straight from the glass bottle.

What is your favorite beverage?
