i realize sometimes at how much this world needs optimism! sometimes i just want to turn to the person next to me and ask "are you EVER happy at ALL?" i just love to enjoy life to its fullest, everything that comes up i try my hardest to see the best in it.
i mean, what else do i need in this world? i have a huge family of 12 who i consider them my very best friends and i would do anything to spend time with them, i have a big house that i have lived in all my life, i have humboldt, the most amazing, green, wet place on earth! and best of all, i have the gospel! everything that i do, say or think is centered on the church and the gospel. sometimes i try to think of a life without it and i cant. there wouldnt be anything worthwhile to do and you wouldnt get anywhere in life!!
i think about this as i work on scripture mastery for seminary. i have memorized ALL, every single one!! 25 scriptures for S day! i can match the flashcards in less than two minutes and i can write them all down in a peice of paper in 6. then my mom tested me and i was able to look up every scripture with only knowing the key word without even pausing!!!! i'm sorry to brag, but i have noticed a difference in my day, i can feel happier and i think about the words in the scriptures and i have the spirit with me all the time. i encourage everyone, even if you are not in seminary, to learn and memorize those scriptures because you will never know when a missionary experience will come to you!
i am trying out for limited edition for school and anyone who doesnt know what that is, it is a special singing class at the high school. the auditions started on monday and are going through the entire week. when i went on tuesday (i missed monday), i was VERY nervous!!! i had never gone for a singing class before and i didnt know if i was ready for it. but on tuesday a girl that was already from limited came up to me and told me she liked hearing me sing and that i knew what i was doing!!! i was SO happy that i at least LOOKED like i knew what was going on.......then yesterday me and three altos went into the back room to practice their part (i was only listening) and halfway through the song, i jumped in adn started singing the soprano part all by myself and i got the loo loo part right!!!! that part is THE hardest part of the song especially because we are singng it acapella.
well anyways, i wanted to put some optimism out there for all of you who are just not feeling quite that positive, because optimism is what the world really needs right now!!!
