My mental log jam

I'm still here with my mental log jam. I'm trying to think of something to unjam the jam, because once I get my thoughts flowing again, I think I can be over the log jam. I thought I had a quote I could include here to sort of help me unjam my brain but I vetoed that, too. So I'm just jumping in with what's on my mind right now.

Tonight for Family Home Evening, we put the family room back together--put away the tables and chairs from J's successful birthday party and we brought back all the furniture and set the room up again. We read an article from the Era by John Bytheway and had sherbet and Rice Krispies treats.

The young women are meeting at my house tomorrow to work on personal progress and eat chocolate. Normally, we wouldn't have a meeting on Tuesday because we have an activity this Friday but I've felt that we need to set aside some time to jump-start personal progress. So, we have eight values and we've assigned eight different months one of each of those values. This month is "Faith." We meet again next week to work on Faith just because it is spring break and we wouldn't normally meet. We'll have breakfast together here and work on Faith again.

If these personal progress events are successful (and if anyone knows how to define "successful" in conjunction with Young Women, tell me), then we'll continue to have at least one personal progress meeting each month, separate from our regular meetings. We may continue to have one each month even if it isn't "successful." Even if the girls do just part of their personal progress, it will still be a blessing to them, so I guess anything accomplished will be a success. I think I usually define success by how many young women come and that is a very inaccurate measure perhaps and often a very discouraging measure. We have twenty young women and I'll count it a success if five come and the maximum I would imagine at all would be twelve.

Well, I'll let that go as my unjamming post. TTFN.
