Ask

Sometimes things get tough, but you can never let it stop you.  

Sometimes you feel like fighting with someone, but you need them to just love you.  

Sometimes you feel like turning away from the Lord because you think he doesn't understand, but he always does.  

He is always ready for you to turn to him and ask for his help.  Get on your knees and pray for his guidance and love.  He is there and willing to help you through your trials.  I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and so do you.
You are never alone and even though we cannot see him with us we can feel him.  He will also send earthly angels to us.  Our friends, family, strangers... they are all angels in our lives.
Find the silver linings and move forward.  Remember to ask for help when you need it and even when you think you don't, because the truth is you still need help.

Thoughts of Love

On Thursday I woke up to a text reminding me of what valentines really means..."Remember this is a day to celebrate not hustling romantic love but love in general.  Siblings, parents, friends! So be happy!"

 I have always disliked Valentines day because I am single, but this year I thought a lot about the people and the things I love.  So here they are, the things I love (some of them)

being goofy and asking what if questions

Laughing

eating delicious granola

being covered in clay and creating new things

Gold doors and jean shirts

finding cute notes from my friends

sunsets

 baking and being with my sisters

going to the temple

travelling with people I love

A few other things are glitter, my cat parker and the little baby Gina puppy, reading my scriptures, snuggling, listening to music, reading a good book, camping, swimming, and just being with people I love.

I hope everyone thought of the things they love and saw the beauty all around them

(it is there, I promise)

Who remembers what my voice sounds like... cause I don't

For some reason I always feel like blogging in the middle of the night.  I don't know what it is but this is when I feel like writing.  

This week has been kind of difficult.  I didn't realize how much I usually do and how much I love to get out of the house.  A few years ago I could just lie around all day everyday and not care about anything.  This week I have been sick and I lost my voice and I am going stir crazy.  I missed classes all week and I haven't gone to the gym, or done much.

Monday night I went to a ward activity, Tuesday I didn't leave the house.  I laid on the couch all day, watched sad movies and just cried.  Wednesday I cleaned my room and then left the house for 1/2 an hour for a Relief Society Presidency meeting, and today was my most active day.  I drove my roommate to school, went to the store and went to Pizza Pie Cafe with friends for a little while because I am so sick of doing nothing.  That is all that has happened in the whole week.  

I feel so lazy just staying home and not getting anything done.  I love being productive and going out.  

I suppose this is really a good thing, needing to get out.  It is just so hard because I love to talk.  Most people know this already but I talk all the time.  Right now all i can do is whisper and if I whisper too much I start coughing. 

Hopefully if I can just rest this weekend I will be better by monday and I can get back to life.  I need to get to the gym because right now I have started feeling terrible about myself and the progress that I have made.  I know I need to keep things in perspective but I keep looking at what I haven't done instead of what I have accomplished.

(Rachel cheered me up with some Anne quotes and this picture found on pinterest)

I am happy that I am an active person and that I care about living a full life.  I just need to get back to it.
