What it's all about!

I am so grateful for the daily opportunities I am blessed with to feel of the Lord's love in my life. And in turn I am able to choose what I want to do with it. Which I believe is allowing others in my life to feel of that love as well...to let it carry over; pass it on. What a wonderful feeling that is! :) I love it. But this week I guess I could say I've been feeling not so charitable and as I read others updates and interact with those in my day to day life I feel of their love and passion for life. That's what it's about peeps. Doing all you can do and then leaving it up to others to choose what they do with it. It's all in their hands after you get to a certain point. I don't know if this makes much sense but I had to put it out there...loves*

Letter from the Editor...

Peeps! How goes it? I need to let ya'll know how horrible of an editor I've been as of lately. :( I have not been doing all that I can to insure that I screen my posts before allowing them to run. Therefore lacking in my editorial skills. Obviously not my calling in life-neither is writing for that matter. I don't want to print any retractions to any previous posts but I do apologize for my rantings towards no one in particular. I just needed to rid myself ha but now that it's out there you peeps can now know that all is well. You can sleep easily now knowing that I willl put more effort into not ranting about the specificities of my day to day dramatic life. If that even is possible ;) but halla if you wanna because I can take the heat! Loves*

A game...

Woah peeps maybe I have a lil bit too much time on my hands at work right at the moment-best be getting to lunch lata*

Livin on a Prayer

This is a post just for my pretty lady J-Bow! I love you and I know it will make you laugh when you read the title of this post. Let's go out and partay hard girlfriend! Ha ha ha

Don't you know things can change?

So I'm not taking back what I previously stated about throwing the towell in but I would like to point out that I really do have loads of perfectly wonderful friends and family in my life. I am grateful for all they do for me. In reading a fellow bloggers post this morning I've been moved beyond words really to see what being a friend means to her. She is most likely unaware of my following her but she said something so simple yet so profound when speaking of an experience in her life.

“I’ll find a way to repay you,” is what my friend says on a daily basis.

“No need,” I counter. “It’s about time you let me help you for once. What I’m doing now is only a tiny fraction of what you’ve done for me for so many years.”

Fellow bloggers - it's not about becoming bitter or resentful to those that you feel have wronged you. It's about picking up the pieces and accepting that it is what it is. Everyone has their own ability to choose how they feel. Nobody can make you feel a certain way-you choose it. This being said I'm going to take some advice from a dear friend I met up with last night and choose to move on. I can't let what others do affect me in a negative manner. I love all those that I come in contact with no matter how long or short of a moment they are around in my life. I do love them and the memories shared.

I recently was reading an article that teaches a very simple principle. Being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints this comes from a recent talk given in the last conference; by Elder Wirthlin.

"Come what may, and love it."

So often today we find it easier to blame everyone else around us for how we are feeling what we are experiencing, etc. It must not be that way-we must learn to embrace each day as a new opportunity to learn something new.

And as I sit here typing this all in a song comes on over the radio-Wilson Philipps; HOLD ON. Couldn't be a more fitting song for today.

You could sustain
Or are you comfortable with the pain?
Youve got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin your worries pass you by
Dont you think its worth your time
To change your mind?

Let's do it peeps-just make up your mind and do it. Whether you say you can or can't you're right. Peace out*

ponderous moment

So I was thinking just now about someone who I miss a lot and also who I wish I talked to more than what I do. I need to be better about calling her-esp for the fact that she's my sister! If she's reading this; which I don't even know if she does follow my blog on a regualr basis I want her to know how much she inspires me. She makes me want to be a better person. And she has an amazing family that she has created. I love being able to share in that happiness that she and her husband have worked hard at on building.

Thanks for that Chels! I love you!

*not to say I don't love you just as much Baby. ;) I know you are reading this. Ha

In a frenzy

What in the world peeps I think I've decided that I am so over the whole friends thing. What is the definition of a friend anyways. The encyclopedia states that its a noun: a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection. Well from here on out if we're not in mutual liking with one another than I'm through. I throw the towel in and I'm over it. I had a wonderful evening last night. Spent with a friend that perhaps we may only talk once a month if we're lucky but I know I continue to call him and make an effort because I know the feeling is mutual. If the table was turned I know it'd be him making the effort; which I should state he does. I have several close friends that do just this very thing. Lame I should stop venting but I sure do need it sometimes.
