Back when I thought I’d recover quickly from my surgery, I bought a ticket to a women’s conference for this weekend at our church. I have been feeling like I should get more connected there than I have been, and I thought this conference, which they hold every year, would be a chance to do that. It was an all day event today, but I figured I could go for as long or as short of a time as I wanted. After all, it was mostly sitting and watching. I made it through lunchtime.

There were so many people there, and I didn’t make a connection with anyone. In fact, I’m lucky I found a seat. But I am glad I went. I heard a couple of messages that really resonated with me and bought a couple interesting books (that I’ll probably never get around to reading). No matter, I’m thankful for inspiring women and positive messages. They help balance out the negativity that’s constantly around us these days.
