This Life of Mine. It's mine.

So this one time, today, I witnessed miracles happen in the course of my day.

I was at work at Gold's Gym- where I babysit 30 wailing children. 

 I was holding a screaming child and remembered what I was doing a year ago today. I was at Snow College, I loved Snow, but I didn't enjoy myself while I was there. And I was also not enjoying myself at work. So, I decided my life's motto for the next few months..."There is no place i'd rather be". At that time in my life, at the daycare, I decided that there is no other place i'd rather be. And do you know what, I enjoyed myself. I was able to look up from myself and enjoy the people I was around.

Then I went to the cutest girl ever's baby shower. I met her at work and decided that I want to be like her. She is really good at being people's friend, I love it. I went with Miss Eliza Wilson. She is the best. We had a really good conversation and I am really glad she graced me with her presence today. She was sharing with me frustrations in life, and suprisingly, we have some of the same. She was talking about loving who you are and being 100% content with how life is right now. Just knowing that Heavenly Father loves you and is aware of you is enough. Although you may not live where you want or have all the friends you want or the degree in school yet or have a boyfriend :)  Being 100% happy with what you have and who you are is the only thing that matters. That shows complete trust and faith and grattitude and love...need I go on?? I loved it and her!!

Then I went to work and got to see a little bit of the John Schmidt concert with the lovely Sarah Tullis afterwards. Today was great.

This week Hannah Braeggar answered a prayer. She was there for me and said things I needed to hear.

Elizabeth Doxey met me for lunch on Tuesday and she is the absolute best. She is the greatest example to me. She is going on her mission in October to Peru. I am grateful for the conversations.

Going to the Gym was also my friend this week, it is a place I go and feel so much better when I leave- plus there are benefits :)

No one else can live my life for me. No one else has my life. Comparing my life and myself to others....gets me nowhere fast. I would prove to be the most ungrateful person if I did not live my life with the highest respect for the people around me with joy and happiness.

I love how it feels like fall. I love that I live with my great family. I love that I work at Thanksgiving Point. I love the awesomeness of my singles ward. I love all my friends. I love everything that makes people real. I love life. Although it is far from perfect and far from what I imagined- there is no place else I'd rather be.
