This past week I had the opportunity to meet up for lunch with two of the most amazing ladies I have met during my life in San Diego. Both these ladies have taught me that I need to smile more often and be a friend to all step out of my shyness shell as well as selfish shell - I have to be an extrovert at work so when I am out I can be shy because I don't want to work at being an extrovert.
Anyhow one of them quoted this quote but couldnt' quite remember and a day later the other found it and shared it with us. So now here I am sharing it with all of you that are reading.
I try to do the if today is the last day of my life I need to make it the best day and at the end of the day I try to reflect if today was the last day of my life would it I be pleased....but lately I have been failing BIG time. I haven't thought about this at the beginning or the end of my day. I have somehow fallen into the "oh let me get through today somehow and argh I got through today now let me rest for tomorrow". I now realize that attitude is a BAD attitude.
Work has been a challenge and let me tell you while I have a great boss, the company is good, sometimes that just isn't enough. My home life is in chaos. My social life is great because of the friends and opportunities I am priviliged to have. Yes, that is right I said privilige. I don't believe that I have these amazing individuals in my life just by chance. The people I know are truly the cream of the crop and they are role models to me because of who they are. My home life well it is in chaos - as I saw my bedroom this morning with clothes all over the floor I was like argh. My spiritual life well that is interesting. I have a testimony about my beliefs but my scripture study is lacking, my prayers lacking but I have recognized this and have lately turned the radio off as I drive and make myself talk to my Heavenly Father as I commute. I know not the ideal way but it is working. I think the reason I am not feeling as though I am failing there it is because of my service in the temple each week; as well as the Butterfly Project.
So as a new month is coming and bringing us closer to the final quarter of 2012 I am going to add one more thing of my things to focus on and that is being influenced by the quote above. I am going to look at my life more carefully and do the things that I really want to do and if for some reason the answer is no for a few consecutive days I will have to evaluate why it is that I am feeling that way and make a change. If it is in my attitude I can fix it, if it is because of my outside factors I will work on that as well and make a change.
On that note I am posting a picture that is on my screensaver and just makes me realize how blessed I have been in this life. These three young adults were once little babies. I love them and would do anything for them - they have blessed my life beyond words.
