First off to introduce some of the changes...I'm going to change the title and then eventually I am going to change the URL so watch out. My blog is also going to get a little more personal, which is a HUGE step for me. I'm a pretty private person-ask my family, they even have to drag answers out of me a lot of times. Well, I'm still going to stay quite private, but I think I'll open up just a little bit. One of the very last changes that I'm making is not only with my blog with myself. OPTIMISM! Yup, this blog is going to become very optimistic, as well as myself. As Sister Hinckley put it in her book Small and Simple Things, "I have two choices. I can choose to be happy or I can choose to be sad. I choose to be happy. 'For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves' (D&C 58:28)" I'm going to make that same exact choice! I choose to be happy because today is a good day.
Thus, please be patient with me. Be patient with me as my writing gets better and as my thoughts are shared. Be patient as this blog helps me become who my Heavenly Father has designed me to become, because as a good friend of mine put it, "Learning about who God wants you to be is a very long road, but it's such a fulfilling road that I don't regret anything". So, yes, my road to becoming who I need to become is very rough, patchy, with quite of few ditches in it already (many to come too) but that's the wonderful thing about God-He's so patient and every time we fall He is there to help pick us up.
Anyways, more to come-I PROMISE! But I need to get to bed. Need to get up early tomorrow!
