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 thankful for the gospel and for the testimony that I have received
this year.
I'm thankful for this guy, named Griffin, who happened to walk
into my life when I needed him most. He's so thoughtful and really is the
most caring guy I've ever met. (he seriously deserves a post all to himself)
I'm thankful for education (no I'm not where I thought I would be, but eventually I'll get
there, remember it's His timing)
I'm thankful for the multitude of business opportunities that I've had and
surprisingly for the opportunities that I had to let die because it was becoming a toxin.
I'm thankful for every aspect of my life, the good/the bad/the ugly/the pretty
for without all of these things I would not be who I am today.

2016, you were a pretty grand year,
you're most definitely a year for the books.
But I'm sure 2017 will be an even grander year
 and I can't wait!

Even in Hard Times

As we get older we learn life isn't always doughnuts and milkshakes. Life is hard, being a product member of society is hard. Sometimes I think that we are hard too hard on ourselves. We never let ourselves take a break and just rejoice in the wonderful life that we are living. Sometimes we all are busy, we all have families, school, evening activities that we use to try and replace the brokenness we feel in our hearts sometimes. Some of us have felt the brokenness for quite a while now but others are just now starting to feel it. (now I'm not saying all of our lives are broken but admit it you have felt sad in your life about something). So how do we truly fix this? How do we unmask ourselves and start to really feel better about our lives? I believe that we should start by looking in the mirror and realizing we are doing the best that we possibly can. If it helps get a dry erase marker and right on your mirror something positive. Here are some ideas you could...
