Changes

It seems that life has been changing a lot lately--especially in the 9 months or so since I last posted...I think the changes are good (no I'm not married or anything like that) but just life's normal changes that come. Life is good--still extremely stressful with some situations with school/work, but life is good. I am VERY blessed and I have to say I LOVE talking to my nieces and nephew on the phone--makes an Aunt feel pretty loved!

That's it for now...I'm sure more changes are just around the bend. That's a great part of life--its always changing.

Blessings

Those of you who are nearby and get to hear from me might know, but this year has been a difficult school year for me. I won't go into the reasons why, but the challenges have brought to mind some things I'd like to say:

I am so blessed to have such a loving family!
I am so blessed to have such good friends!
I am so blessed to have a place to call home!
I am so blessed to have roommates that put up with me and are some of my best friends!
I am so blessed to be an aunt, a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a niece, a granddaughter and a friend!
I am so blessed to have a career that I love (most days anyway)!
I am so blessed to have had the opportunities through my life that I have had!
I am so blessed to know who I really am!
I am so blessed to have a voice and be able to share my feelings!
I am so blessed to have the talents I have been given!
I am so blessed that I get to use the talents I have been given!
I am so blessed to live in a country where I have the freedom to believe as I wish!


I am just so blessed and I want to say that I am so grateful for all my blessings! You who read this blog--you are a part of those blessings I am grateful for! Thanks for sticking with me!

Inspiration

I realized today that I have 23 days left until school starts and only a handful of them to get things organized and ready to go for this new school year! YIKES!!!!!!!!!!

I was sitting on my couch, feeling all sorry for myself when I decided to check my e-mail...and what did I find? A little inspiration from Anita.

Who is Anita? She is the most amazing Education Professional Development presenters I've ever heard--I wish I had even half the energy she runs around with! Her workshop in Salt Lake this summer was INCREDIBLE!

And what was it that I found to help inspire me out of my panic?!?!?!

How well you teach = How well they learn

May gratitude be my attitude.
"There is nothing else to do with time except extend the good, the holy, and the beautiful."
"What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?"

(George Eliot, English novelist, 1819-1880)

I couldn't say it better than that...that's enough to get me out of bed in the morning, that's for sure!

I CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right?

Pride and Prejudice

My friend and I have been Pride and Prejudice "junkies" lately. Together we watched the 5 hour BBC version (the older one) and the 6 hour Colin Firth version. I've also seen the new version and the Pride and Prejudice-the Pink Bible (LDS) version. I also JUST finished reading the actual book by Jane Austen. I am definitely a HUGE Mr. Darcy fan now! Not that I didn't enjoy him through the movies, but there is definitely something different about the Darcy in the book. Thus the reason for my last post...I am definitely smitten. I might have to put my favorite quote from the book on my next post--actually, there are a couple! ;-)

If you ever need a true romance story to keep you going--I'd recommend this one. :-)

Some help....

So I have a new best friend--tall, dark, and handsome! I believe I have finally found some motivation! My elliptical does wonders for my motivation! I actually WANT to exercise! Double bonus--I love listening to music AND reading and I can do either one while I'm exercising! How awesome is that?!?!?!!??! YEA for finding something that helps!

What helps you?
