Just another day in paradise.

Have you ever heard the additive "this too shall pass"  I find myself using it too frequently, wishing away what seem to be small moments, only realizing how big they were when they have passed. I need to be better at living in the moment, and not be so busy planning the next moment that I can't enjoy this one.  So from now on, I will enjoy every moment.  I know I will still have my "this too shall pass" days, but I will try to see the positive more often.  My cute daddy taught me a better way to look at it.  We went to lunch last week and I was having a REALLY bad day, he hugged me, kissed my cheek, and said "think of it this way, baby girl, you can do anything for one day. Just one day. Take it one day at a time."  It makes things sooo much easier when you can divide it into smaller chunks, or days.  It gives you a light at the end of the tunnel.  When work seems too much, just think, I can do anything for one day!

On another note, I was teaching my four year olds about prayer in primary, and I asked them "Can I only pray in the morning and at night?" They all shrugged for a second, then one of them said " No, you can pray anytime you're scared" another said "He's always listening" I asked "can I text him"  One child said "His phone number is PRAYER, Sister Randi!"  I love how much these kids teach me on a weekly basis. It truly is incredible.

I start school this week, and I am terrified.  I am not a school person.  I get intimidated very easily, and tend to quit when I get nervous.  But not this time.  I am out to prove to myself, and my family and friends, that I can make something of myself.  That I will graduate with my Bachelors degree, and show everyone that I can do anything I set my mind to.  So say a little prayer for me as I head off on this journey.
