It's been a week since we discovered Pottermore.  I have to admit that being a Slytherin has been a really hard thing to cope with, so much so that I have created other Pottermore acounts for myself using my middle and last name, first and maiden name, full name, and different email accounts to sign up for Pottermore again and try and be sorted into Gryffindor.  After six more tries, my husband finally intervened and told me that I was going about it all wrong. The Sorting Hat originally put my in Slytherin, but when I tried to maniputlate the system, I kept being sorted into Hufflepuff house.  Not that there is anything wrong with Hufflepuffs, but I just couldn't be one.  I was distraught, not only that I was a Slytherin or Hufflepuff, but that I am 34 and even worrying that I wasn't in Gryffindor.  I finally let my husband sign me up again and he got be into Gryffindor the first time. 

I shoudl be so happy, but now I feel guilty that I just didn't support the Sorting Hat's first result.  This is so my personality.  Hot and cold, and so quickly.  It's really quite embarrassing, or at least it should be.

Today at church we had a wonderful lesson in YW's about the importance of keeping a journal.  I kept thinking about how I have wanted to do this forever, and so in an attempt I am trying to blog.  Then I thought about the posts I have written, and was a little embarrassed that I have spent quite a bit lamenting my experience on Pottermore.  I don't think this information will help the generations of the future.  I will try and write at least one life lesson here and there to pass on to my posterity.

To get started, in ward council the bishop shared a scripture that was really touching to me.  He shared the scripture in D & C 6:16, and focused on the part that reads, "there is none else save God that knowest the thoughts and the intenst of thy heart."  It's just nice to be reminded that even if I sometimes worry about what others may think about me, God knows my true intentions and thoughts.  It's comforting, and was a good reminder.

Well that's it for now.
