Wow, it has been quite the year.


I have made some of the best of friends i could of ever asked for. They have taught me so much about being open and honest and talking about things instead of brushing them aside. One friend in particular has taught me to "show love" I have always had a hard time expressing that unless others would show it first. But she has taught me, that its okay to show that. I know that may sound weird. But that is something that has been hard for me. I have always waited for others to tell me something, or to do something. because i have been terrified to show my true feelings. even though i may love another person, i tend to run away in a way. :)








I am truly enjoying my life. I am happy with where i am, and if anything changes i will take it from there. I think it is so important to enjoy life and live in each moment. Because so many people say " i will be HAPPY when i graduate, i will be happy when i get married, i will be happy when i have a family, i will be happy when i get a different car or hair cut etc..." it's about being happy now. Enjoying the journey now. Before you know it, it will be over.



It's about looking around you and taking in the colors of the leaves the hussle n bussle of cars, an old couple taking a walk, the children playing. if we don't find happiness now and keep waiting for it, we will never be happy.





I know that something i am blessed with is the Gift of Optimism, i have always looked for the good in everything my whole life, its just who i am. I know the lord blessed me with that because of everything i have been through. But every mistake, every trial, every hardship has made me the person i have always wanted to be. I am so grateful for my trials, they have made me stronger and made me enjoy and love the smallest and most joyful of moments.

I am a student at DSC, living away from home, Working 2 jobs and going to school for Physical Therapy/communications, I am dating and figuring things out, and loving every moment of it. I am a teacher in relief society and try to help others as much as i can. I have the best of friends and am so unbelievably grateful for my life.

... My life is not by any means perfect. There are days when i doubt and question. But i have learned to turn it over to the lord and trust in him and be patient with him. I choose to see the goodness each moment has to offer.



This is the moment in our lives when we can live and love, or be still and silent. Don't let this wonderful life pass you by. This is a gift and test the lord has blessed you with. Now take it and run!
