Last ENT Appointment

I had my last ENT appointment this afternoon as a final follow up to surgery.   I’m definitely hoping it’s my last ENT appointment.  The only way I end up back at an ENT is if I get a cold, followed by a sinus infection that my regular doctor can’t seem to clear up.  But I’m breathing very well now.  The other nice thing to having a doctor appointment today was that I got off the phones early.  Tomorrow’s a full day on the phones but then Wednesday morning I’m spending about 2 or 2 1/2 hours in training, followed by playing on the test system with the new information learned, followed by starting to take some incoming calls.  And then it’s Thanksgiving weekend.  Right now, we’re having Thanksgiving dinner here around noon, and then we’re headed down to IL to get to my aunt’s by about 3 for dessert and to see family.  Then on Friday morning, my parents and I are going to go see The Blind Side.  Then in the afternoon I’m going to take a practice LSAT exam. 

I was poking on LSAC’s website to see if my transcripts had been received yet when I discovered that they’ve already received President Nelson’s letter of recommendation.  🙂  On the other side, the transcripts aren’t showing as received yet.  I’m hoping soon.  It’s still the first of the year before I’m applying anywhere though as I need to wait for my LSAT score.

My new favorite quote is from Eleanor Roosevelt.  "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."  It really fits me and where I am right now and really it’s good to live by.  In other news, I had a bit of an epiphany last night. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve wondered how I got so lucky as to be born into the Gospel, to be born in the US into a well-off family, and to a family that loves me.  I realized last night that this is exactly where Heavenly Father needs me and the talents He’s given me.  For me, that means doing whatever it is that He needs me to do.  If I’m here in this position, there’s something here that I have to do, lives that I can touch, people that I can help find the Gospel.   I didn’t just get lucky; He needs me right where I am.
