I stayed downstairs and cooked a bunch. I feel A LOT better now and I can't believe the difference it makes to finally leave work AND relax. I'm alright now. A children's book on lesbian moms was taken off the shelves in Davis county. If we don't protect the rights of people we do not agree with, we shouldn't expect to have our rights preserved. The book was bought by the librarians who wanted to encourage tolerance and respect since one of the young boys who was a student there actually did have two mothers in a lesbian partnership. It's tough to know where the line should be drawn. I am leaning more towards leaving the book on the shelf. It can be used as an opportunity to teach children instead of pretending it doesn't exist. Children should be taught to be kind and accepting of ALL people DESPITE their beliefs. Minority rights should not be ignored. Agency is sacred. There are MANY things we can control. When how we behave hurts other people we need to reconsider our actions. Nothing is easy-nothing worthwhile anyway. I'm glad I joined the intellectual freedom committee. I like considering real issues and appropriate responses. I like considering implications-especially when these are difficult. I like thinking about things I may never have considered. I never thought I'd ever be a librarian. I always thought I'd be an attorney. I think this is more fun. There is a journalist in me too that would've been developed more if it paid better. I still want to do that but on my own terms. Digitally I can do that now. Life is filled with opportunities and blessings. I wish I remembered that all the time. I do trust my father in heaven and I will do what I know I need to do. I wish he told me exactly what to do sometimes-BUT then we would be slothful servants, with no use for a brain. The challenge is fun. Life is good. If I follow the spirit EVERYTHING will work out the way it should. I know that sooo time to stop being angry over things I can't control. It is wasted energy and I prefer not to waste that!!!
