Blessings and Gratitude

I know I have already posted once today but this blog is for me more than anything and I have something that I want to say.
I have spent the past few weeks EXTREMELY emotional...and I haven't been able to completely figure out why. And it has been troubling, being so emotional for reasons that I can't explain. I'm talking about crying when I feel the spirit and when a song comes on the radio or when watching a movie/tv show that let's be honest isn't really all that sad. And again today it happened twice...I received a letter from my cousin who just recently entered the MTC and as I read the incredible words that he wrote, words I know he wrote because he was guided by the spirit, tears streamed down my face. Then later tonight I received a message on facebook from a friend's mom. My friend and I aren't even very close and his mom and I aren't even facebook friends, but she took the time to send me a message and see how things were going, and the words she said touched my heart. And I realized right then as I was tearing up, that the emotions I have been feeling have been the Lord and my Father in Heaven reaching out to me, and reminding me of how much I am loved. I am so grateful for that, and I feel so incredibly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life, and to have a Savior, and a Father in Heaven who love me SO MUCH and know me SO WELL that they know when I need a little boost, or a reminder of their unconditional love. And so I go to sleep tonight feeling overwhelmed with the spirit, truly truly grateful.

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

Just A Friendly Reminder:)

It's nothing new. We've all heard it before. "You cant judge a book by its cover" and "be careful what you say, everyone is fighting their own battles, and we don't know what others are facing..." and many more quotes and saying that tell us that everyone is going through something and we don't know, so we cant judge, we cant take offense, because we don't know what they may be going through. And what may be easy to you may be a challenge for them and vice versa so we cannot look down on anyone for what they are going through. Now this makes perfect sense to me because I know I certainly have trials and I have met some people in my life that have had their fair share of struggles. It's just something that I have always understood, however sometimes it isn't always the first thing on my mind, and because of that, I got my reminder this week. I have been feeling really upset about the way someone very very important to me has been ignoring...
