Maybe having a Mink Creek kind of day starts with dreaming. I think it is concentrating on a mental picture of everything you want to come true. For me, it started back in 1977, when I was a young mother of 3 little girls living in a one bedroom apartment in Salt Lake City. Wynn, my husband, was going to school at the University of Utah and holding down a full-time all night security guard job on Temple Square while I was going crazy at home. The children and all of their paraphernalia were housed in the bedroom. Our king size bed filled the dining room wall-to-wall and was raised about four and half feet off of the ground in order to store things underneath it. In that squozen condition, (I know it isn't really a word, but it is perfect for the occasion. It connotes frozen in a tight squeeze), I dared to dream. I dreamed of a place with wide open space, mountains to climb and a creek to play in. I dreamed of a husband with a 9-5 adequate income job and time to play with his wife and children. I dreamed of a home with bedrooms and closets as well as being affordable, a place we created ourselves. And that is what I want to leave you with today. Dare to dream. Spiritually create what you want in your mind. That should be the first rule of living. So, today, dream beautiful things and have a Mink Creek kind of day.
