There is Sunshine in my soul today

First I want to apologize for not posting for an entire month. I'm going to be real you guys, the first time you leave home and are on your own is really hard. And I don't mean the kind of hard like it's hard to get out of bed some days. I'm talking about I would have done anything to have my family around me and be in a familiar place again. The last few weeks have really been hard. I was feeling like I just couldn't pull myself out of this grey slump. I felt like I was doing all the right things. I went to church, devotionals, reading and praying but I just was not feeling it. I've just been rethinking what I want to pursue while I am here and I hate not having a plan. So I decided that I was tired of feeling this way and I tried to be really open to fun things and paid attention to the good things that happened throughout the week:

Monday: There was no school and I got to have fun tie dying shirts with my roommates.
Tuesday: I went to devotional and it was so great. I also went to open mic to watch two of my friends perform.
Wednesday: I finished my homework early so I got to go to Country Dancing that night with three of my friends and it was so fun (even though I'm not good at it yet).
Thursday: I forgot something in my apartment that I needed for class so I called my friend to see if she could grab it for me and she brought it to me and I was so relieved.
Friday: I love Friday because that means the weekend is coming so it made it easier to find motivation and finish my week strong.
Saturday: I got to watch some great young men do great at the State Wrestling meet online and I took the day to just relax.
Sunday: We sang my favorite hymn in Relief Society.

After this week I feel so good and happy. This week I am going to focus on what I enjoy and what I am good at. I hope you all have a wonderful week and make sure to find the good in every day. See you next time for more Vitamin "C"! Love you all!

When life gives you (sour) lemons...

This week started out very difficult. My dad was having health problems, my work days felt longer than ever before and on top of that I locked my keys in my car....and it was only Tuesday! Since then I have been determined to turn it all around. Yesterday morning I got up and I said I am going to have a great day. I really did. This week I really learned what Hannah Montana meant when she said "Life's what you make it, so let's make it rock" The last few days held little victories for myself and others who I surrounded me. I got most of my college stuff figured out, all of my housing plans have been finalized and one of my students finally got off the bus by herself today! The sweet moments in my life have balanced out the sour ones and have put a better taste in my mouth as the week comes to a close. Make sure you always have sugar and water on hand because when life gives you some of it's sour lemons, through time, patience and a little hard work, your lemona...
