Like So Many Others

So, like so many others, I am deciding to go private with my blog... too many wierd things go on when they aren't and I don't want to have that happen even though it hasn't yet. ;)

So if you do look at my blog, please post your email or just something & I'll make sure that you will still have access to it!

THanks all! Luvs ya <3

Life Should Be Enjoyed

So today when I was talking with my mom and just about ready to say my good-byes... my dad decides he would like to give me some advice. The advice he gave me is a quote from President Hinckley

"In all Living, have much fun and laughter.
Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."

Since then... the whole rest of my day has changed. I have thought about not only enduring to the end, but enjoying the journey along the way. That doesn't mean that all should do is have fun, but that I should like what I'm doing so I can do my best.

So far in college, I have loved the experience. But I am also enduring the difficult classes and the many decisions that I have never been faced with. For a while I have been only enduring and kind of enjoying everything. I need to be more joyful. I'm sure that if everyone was joyful the world would be a much happier place.

In my room at my apartment I have many reminders (wall hangings, quotes, RS & YW projects) that remind me to be more Christlike. One of my favorites is a plaque that says "SIMPLIFY" ~ it's one of my favorites because that is how we enjoy the moments of the time... by simplifying and realizing they are right before our eyes.

;) So this past post is pretty long, but it is something I have thought about today those who read this blog get the pleasure to be the people I share it with! :)
