Magical Monday!!!

Not really, it just sounds better than MBA Monday or rather MBA month. I stayed up watching a Korean drama and didn't get to bed until 2am. I was about to shut off my laptop and get ready for bed when Krista posted in Facebook that she was really scared. I tried to Facebook her/call her/text her to see if she needed anything but she didn't respond. I had a vision of her stranded somewhere. I hope she's alright.

Covey said independence is higher than dependence but not the optimal state. Interdependence is the ideal. Interdependence requires us to work together. I know this is why celestial marriage is a requirement for exaltation. Compromise isn't easy. I'm sure marriage refines our selfish natures. Effective, respectful communication is essential. If you allow yourself to be a doormat you can end up with resentment and hate. I know that through personal experience. People will always have things they disagree on. Interdependence is the best solution for business work. It only follows that it is the best state for your personal life. Even spiritually if we fail to involve the spirit and or use prayer in our decisions we will never make the best choices.

David helped me realize I'm not very good at this. I am used to guys letting me have my way all the time. David doesn't do that and this is something I like. I'm not unreasonable. Of course I want everyone to treat me like a queen, BUT REALLY if we just treat other people the way we want to be treated WITH RESPECT!!! that is more than adequate. There's enough I like about David that I am willing to work at this. I know I have diva tendencies BUT I don't get carried away even if I do have to check myself periodically. David's testimony is his best quality BUT he also is bright enough so I don't get bored talking to him or annoyed he doesn't catch something quick enough. David also helped me learn I NEED to talk about things I don't like as they occur or it will fester.

I am looking forward to improving my communication AND relationship with David. I know that's what my father in heaven wants and I know I need to try.

Since I'm cooking the main meal at Christmas and my family are visiting me here in Logan I also need to get cracking on that. AGAIN-first things first!!! MBA or BUST!!!
