I've been thinking of these for a while and just hadn't posted them yet...
Dear Dr. B.,
I know you're an awesome dentist. I know you gave me a clean bill of health at today's bi-annual cleaning visit. I still don't like coming to see you. (Or the dental hygienist who talked about the bad economy ("No money means no jobs"...yes, thank you for the reminder) and Brittany Spears for the half hour she cleaned my teeth. I (mostly) didn't enjoy either part, and especially at 7 am on a Monday morning.) I do like having clean teeth, though. Therefore, I will return to see you and discuss the poor economy six months from now.
Dear ward (congregation),
The one-line "I know" testimonies you shared (a few months ago) about what you learned in our lesson were powerful. It's amazing how someone saying "I know that God is aware of all his children, no matter their circumstances" can be felt so deeply. Sometimes we feel we have to say a lot. But now I know we don't.
Dear Camille,
You're right. Receiving comments on your blog IS validating and makes you want to do more. I will try to do better when I read other's blogs.
Dear State of Arizona,
Really? You're selling the senate and house buildings and then renting them back? That makes me really sad. (Note to self: don't get into bad financial problems like Arizona did...)

This is a monumental day! I finally looked at you blog. Even though I had not see your old background, I am really liking the new one!
Dear [EMILY] I love your blog, and I love it when I hear about A and D, who I've been trying to keep up with. I'm also a big fan of E and love reading about her. She's pretty dang incredible! OK. That is all for now.
Dear Emily,
Waking up in the morning in Peru to read your blog is great. We love your humor, insights and love for others. Have a great day. love, Dad and Mom
PS. A company I used to work for also leases several of its buildings. Hmmmmm
Emily, I loved your comments. I especially was laughing about the dentist because I feel just about like that too! It's my MOST unfavorite appointment all year.
good to see you blogging again! miss you!
You should probably go check out my blog because I nominated you for an award:
