Gratitude

DAY 13
I am thankful for school and books and reading and writing. I love to read and I love to write. I am currently in a creative writing class. I have loved it! I love writing and escaping reality.  Although I very much love all sorts of books. I am love inspirational books that get me hyped up about improving myself (particularly spiritually) one book that I feel has changed me in good ways is
this is so uplifting to me and gives me added strength to exercise faith. But I also love a good fictional book. I have to admit I am not a huge fantasy or science fiction fan but I have been known to read a few. I love mysteries (without blood and gore). I wish I had the talent of writing mysteries.   I also love poetry and how poetry is emotionally based. I am an emotional person. Maybe why I love inspirational books. NOW I must clarify there is a difference between inspirational books and inspirational quote books. Although quotes are good.  I want to dive head into and take out of a book what I find useful. Quotes are good but they don't do that quite the same way. I am getting ready to read a book called The Ultimate Gift. I came across it packing this summer and it looked like a good inspirational read. I think Nathan read it (long story) but anyway...I have had it in my nightstand calling to me. 
I love to write. I love to journal. I like to write spiritually uplifting stuff as well as fictional. I am currently writing a piece entitled "Redemption" for my creative writing class. I have enjoyed doing it although it is out of my comfort zone. 
I figured "why not" ...I will share it soon. ;)

And then school is great. I love learning and getting away to focus on keeping my brain active.

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
