Making A Joyful Noise

Madrid Diary Day 5: Segovia

Thursday, November 14, 2019Thursday, November 14, 2019 by Latter-day Soprano

Hi! I'm Holly the Latter-day Soprano [also known throughout the web as Mormon Soprano and "MoSop"]. I consider myself a typical American woman balancing many hats. I'm a wife, mom, co-worker, singer, actress, writer and friend. In June 2019 I added "Grandma" to my title! My sweetheart Jeff and I have been married 30 years. We love to run, hike and travel together.

Please stay awhile, and say hi! ♥

I've caught my coworker taking a #catnap on the job twice already today. It's only 8:30 am. #workingfromhome #ninja #friyay

Today we are #thankful for God's beautiful earth, and tender mercies. We #remember all those who have sacrificed for us. We climbed a mountain and pondered the spiritual symbolism. Courage. Endurance. Faith. Holiness. Godliness. Peace. Two of my favorite mountain scriptures come from the prophet Isaiah. 🌞🌤🌦🌤🌞 "How beautiful upon the MOUNTAINS are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!" Isaiah 52:7 🌞🌦🌞🌦🌞 "For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the MOUNTAINS and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12 We did "GO OUT WITH JOY" today and it felt like the mountains 🏔 and hills ⛰ were "singing", and the trees 🌲and fields 🌾were "clapping their hands"! 👏👏👏 Despite all of the stress, and sorrow in this uncertain new age of Pandemic, its important to remember there is beauty, there is goodness, and there is God.

I love this 'vintage' image of my Mom. #happymothersday It is very strange to realize that I am more than twice the age right now than Mom was on the day of this photo. And today, my own daughters (her granddaughters) are older than she was then. ⏰ Isn't it odd how swiftly the circle of life turns? We never notice until a photo, a memento, or a memory suddenly presses pause. It is Bitter-sweet to stop and breathe it in. Despite all its pain, troubles, worries and heartbreak 💔 LIFE is still an amazing journey and truly, a gift! Thank you Mom for bringing me into this life, and allowing me the gift! Thank you for making my life more beautiful by giving me every ounce of your effort and heart and faith to mother me. Here is a toast (with sparking non-alcoholic cidar of course) to the circle of life, to infinity, and beyond! 🥂 ❤

May we walk gently today with each other's hearts, and be well! #kindness

"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." - Mark Twain Some kind soul just left a loaf of homemade bread at my door. ❤ #quarantinelife ... And now I just want to bake something for ALL my neighbors! (Even though I don't bake, and I have no skills) . Thank you dear Anonymous Baker! "I loaf you."

Discovered our first roses of 2020 have arrived in our yard! #hope "The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy, and singing!" - Isaiah 35:1-2 KJB

Social [Distancing] Sister Picnic today! #utahcovid19 with our masks, hand sanitizer, and 6 feet apart. Enjoying good food, sunshine and friendship in #SLC. It's the first time we've been all together in 2 months. Grateful for this day. 🤗 Utah is cautiously optimistic, and gradually starting to release it's social restrictions. However, we know its gonna take time. We are committed to practice physical distancing for as long as it's necessary to flatten the curve, and end the virus spread. So, we will continue to work from home, use good hygiene, and keep wearing our masks in public places and confined spaces. We will overcome together ❤ “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” - Lao Tzu

Whenever I am taking a walk in the world I'm reminded of all the beautiful things that make being alive such a gift! 🌻 "The trick is to enjoy life. Don't wish away your days waiting for better ones ahead. The grand and the simple are equally wonderful." - Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Favorite find near Roosevelt #utah #COVID19 😃 Thanks Sinclair for the smiles 😃
