What Am I Choosing Every Day?


It’s absolutely blissful for me to be here in Amanzimtoti at Stella Maris.
The sound of the sea…
The sea breezes…
The quietness…
The lovely views… day and night…
The simplicity…

















I’m glad we chose to come to Stella Maris – again.
It’s more than three years since we’ve been here.
We’ve been coming for many years – I can’t remember how many.
I wondered if it too had slid down the path of neglect that seems to be so much around us…
Not so.
It’s still well maintained, and well managed.

I chose two books to bring with me:















I’m loving reading them - again!

I’ve read them both before.
I don’t remember most of what I read of them long ago.
I enjoy Scott Peck’s thoughts and explanations – most of them resonate with me.
They’ve both made me think…
And question!  Why…???!!!  Why do I agree? Why do I not agree? 
What do I think about what he is talking about?

I’m also loving catching up on my Ensign, New Era and Friend magazine reading.
For some reason beyond me, I can’t get to my usual Gospel Library.
I resorted to my paper scriptures, and intermittent ChurchoJesusChrist.org magazine reading.
Inconvenient…
When we came here I continued scripture reading on my phone,
leaving my bulky scriptures at home.
I picked up my magazine reading again on my phone.
I MISS MY TABLET which ceased to support the newer Gospel Library software.
(I think that’s how I describe what happened…)
I’ll probably get to getting a tablet again specifically for my Gospel Library reading.

Reading on the computer is distracting – notifications flash on my screen.
They also do on my phone.
I prefer to be “single minded” and undistracted early in the morning.

What wonderful choices I have!  Every Day!
These above are FEW of the many I can choose!

What choices do you enjoy?  And find frustrating?

I love you all!
