Rock Bottom

Life has a funny way of showing you what you need rather
than what you want. There's always a reason that Heavenly Father
blesses you with the things you need rather than what you want, yes
there are those small instances where the thing you need and the thing
you want are the same thing but again that isn't always the case.
Sometimes in those situations we see something that we like better,
some would call it "Keeping Up with the Joneses."
You should never want to Keep Up with the Joneses.
We need to always be grateful for what we have, even
if it is something that we don't think that we want/need still
be grateful for it.
To be grateful sometimes we have to hit rock bottom
and you know what that is perfectly ok.
When we hit rock bottom that gives us a time to make up
some goals and get the ball rolling.
As previously discussed feel free to make small goals,
not all of them need to be massive because if you make them
too big you will soon find yourself not believing that you can
reach them and you will be back to square one.
I love this quote by Inky Johnson:
--------
"Rock bottom has built way more champions than privilege"
--------
So instead of complaining that you're at rock bottom, embrace it
and reevaluate yourself. You can't always be at the top because then
you will never appreciate being there.


Until Next Time,
XOXO,

Spring Break 2016

This year I was FINALLY able to go on a spring break trip with my family, which was much needed. You see usually my school schedule and work schedule never coincide with when my family is taking their annual trip to the lovely KW but this year it did! I was so excited to be able to go this trip! This year (and every other year) we traveled to Key West, Florida and OMG it was amazing! Even though it was a long(er) trip it was well worth it! There is so much to do there, even if the place itself is only 3 miles wide. My favorite thing to do is the Conch Train ride, its a little train/trolley ride that takes you around KW and tells you historical facts about the place, (maybe I love it a little too much because I am a history guru). But in all seriousness it is nice to actually get away from the demands of life and enjoy time with family and it doesn't hurt that it was in such a beautiful place surrounded by the ocean. On our way to Key West and on our way back home, we stopped at...

2016: A Year of Learning and Thankfulness

2016. This year has definitely been a year of learning. Learning who I am and who I'm suppose to become. I've learned this year that I can do anything that I set my mind to do and that I just need possible.  I'm not who I was a year ago and I've learned to be okay with that. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm a totally different person than I was even two years ago. I've learned that life goes on. And I've learned that things don't always go as planned. I've learned that things happen for a reason and that things happen in Heavenly Father's time, not ours. I've learned that our plans don't always go accordingly and to be grateful for every moment because we won't be able to get those moments back. This year I've also learned to be thankful. Thankful for my family, who support me, in every decision I make. Thankful for my warm home on winter nights and a cool home on those warm July days. I'm th...

Top [Ten] favorite quotes!

Today I am going to talk about my top 10 favorite quotes and why I love them. I think that inspirational quotes are my favorite type of quotes just because as I have gotten older I've learned to rely on them and they help me get through some of the dark times in my life. 1. "Those who move forward with a happy spirit will find that things work out"  -Gordon B. Hinckley I love this quote because I honestly believe in it. I grew up listening to this man talk in conferences and I absolutely love reading his talks. It's so amazing that when I read or listen to his talks how much I feel as though he is talking specifically to me. 2. "You have not failed until you quit trying" -Gordon B. Hinckley See, I told you I love this man. I absolutely love this quote because it is true, I believe that if you keep on trying at something you have won in some regards. 3.  "If you are a little better than you were yesterday, then that is enough" -David A....
