from me, to you: November 2012

Two days of school and I'm off for thanksgiving break!. Wow. It's hard for me to believe that another semester has almost come and gone. It's amazing to be able to look back and say time is flying by. I'm grateful for cameras... Without them I would probably forget how much I love life!. As the holidays get closer I can't help but count the blessing in my life that have brought me to this point. With every trial, accomplishment, and memory experienced, I have learned how to accept challenges and find joy in the journey. (even if i do it the hardest way possible)
I'm grateful for family- they are my backbone. I always have them to fall back on - what a blessing! I know at times I'm not the best aunt...(that doesn't mean I'm not still the favorite;) or daughter... sometimes I forget to call my mom and tell her about my week or sister... I have the hardest time finding time to talk to my sisters. But I truly wouldn't be who I am today without the support, love, and existence of my forever family.
I'm grateful for freedom- Freedom to choose, love, create, live, worship, laugh, speak, and learn. Lately I have been guilty of getting caught up in little, un-important things. I'm making a plan for myself to take time to smell the roses- get out of my daily routine- and enjoy the stage of life I am in right now. I have so much to experience! And because of that I can be free and be me.
I'm grateful for school. As much as I say I hate the work, I really do enjoy being at BYU-Idaho. It has blessed my life in more ways than I can count. My professors, peers, friends, and even my roommates have helped make this semester great- and I really am thankful for that.
I'm grateful for every breath I take, every memory I make, every miracle I witness, every person I meet, challenge I face, and
'Tis the season... and we all have something to be grateful for.
Today, count your blessings.
xoxo
