Question Authority

I got a letter from one of my best friends yesterday. :) I thought she had just forgotten to write to me!
Being organized... really makes me feel good.
Having a schedule is a powerful thing, now sticking to that schedule is even more powerful.
Sometimes I wonder about my life and what  I can do differently, then just toss it out the window.
But there is a quote I found one day...
"He who tries will never know the sorrow of one who never triumphed or failed."
I don't know how well I can do in school because I have never tried my hardest.
I don't know how great my piano can be because I have never practiced my hardest.
How many other people are like me?
Knowing they can be better but never trying because they are afraid they will fail?
I wonder why I try to sabotage myself...
Maybe I am so confused because I have never tried to fight for what I want. or for what I think I want. I would rather just sit back and let life go it's course.
But I can't do that.
Nope. If I want to be happy, I will do what I know I need to do no matter what the cost.

Revelation

well, I've started.
I am going to get into math 1050 next semester even if I have to work everyday over winter break to get there!
And I know that I can do this, even if I really don't want to.
And I know something else now.
Being a well rounded person is not a bad thing.
It is ok if I need to learn math. It can't take anything away from me. It can only help me.
I am so thankful for inspiration and discernment, they are such blessings in my life.
There are so many things I would be lost of if I did not have those two things.
I am also thankful for my mother. :) on Fruits Basket Toru is talking to her mother and says "But mommy, I was born to be with you."
And I was, I was born to be with my mom until that time that I am ready to be with someone else.
Well, time to get organized.

Wonderful Time of the Year

Blessings come in different shapes and sizes. Sometimes is so blatantly obvious that there is no possible way to miss it, but I still do. Other times, it is so small that it is passed off as nothing.
Like the other day at work. I was running a check through the machine and I felt like I should check the date, I did and it was wrong. Thanks Heavenly Father.
Then there are the big ones. Like having amazing friends. Sometimes I take them for granted. Especially the ones I have had for such a long time it is just natural for them to be a part of my life. It is hard to recognize them as blessings. But then I read something they write, talk to them, or just look at old pictures or letters and I remember. You are a blessing in my life.
Some are small and tiny
Some are larger than my life
But all are my gifts.
Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for staying by my side for so long, even if from a distance. Thank you for confiding in me and trusting me. Thank you for supporting me

Some Facts about Life

I am going to get this out there now.
I HATE running  with my dog. It makes me so angry!
I don't know where our choke collar is so I can't bring it to get him to behave.
He does not do what I say unless I get angry.
He gets scared every time a car passes... and seeing as I am running on the street, that is every 5 seconds! He jumps and runs into me nearly making me trip.
GA! He is the biggest scaredy cat (ahem, dog) I have ever seen! It is not even cute! It is stupid and sad.
I want to have a dog when I grow up just so I can teach him to behave properly! Gadfrey!
On the bright side I  ran yesterday and I worked out today.
Maybe my mother and I can get out weight bench put together soon and I will be able to use that.
Every time I see someone who is physically, amazingly, fit it makes me want to be just as fit. So going to my brothers wrestling matches are helping me quite a bit.
I see these boys who are in high school and are more fit than than I ever was.
Granted, now I am more fit than I have ever been but I am not satisfied yet.

Rupunzel is no doubt the strongest
princess, physically and mentally!
On a lighter note, Tangled was... how should I put this? In the words of Flynn Rider "Stupendous."
I am so glad it lived up to my expectations!
Makes my life so much happier. :)

2 hard things before I close, Jumping rope 400 times is very, VERY hard. and not eating for a half hour after you exercise is difficult, especially when you did not eat before hand.
