This is my last day in quarantine. I wish I could pass on some great words of wisdom, but I'm not sure what I have to say is all that wise. So I will defer to someone else for whose wisdom I am very thankful (it is the season of thanksgiving, after all). For the past several months, I have tried to live my life based on the principles of this talk by the Apostle Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, who passed away in 2008. Below is a short 3-4 minute video clip of his talk. Watch it. I thank God for the experiences of this year. I am trying to love it all, the good as well as the less than good.
"These experiences, while often difficult to bear at the time, are precisely the kind of experiences that stretch our understanding, build our character, and increase our compassion for others." --Elder Wirthlin

You have an amazing way with words that makes me feel like I am in that room with you, listening to you speak directly.
You are such an AMAZING, STRONG, HILARIOUS, TENDER, BEAUTIFUL woman. I commend you on your constant positive attitude about this serious awful situation you have had to endure.
