Why Drastic Blogs Are Bad.

Song of the blog: Where've You Been_ Kathy Mattea

So when you are hurt, and it just seems like it's just going to keep happening for the rest of your life and you feel no hope and you are just depressed? Call a shrink. Do not write a blog.

What is it with us people these days that we think that is remotely private? "Having a hard time in life? Get on the internet!!" No. No people. No.

This. Is. Hope.
It's closer than it ever appears.

This Easter Sunday the Atonement felt more real to me than I think it ever has. Just because. I find it so amazing that no matter what we do, no matter where we are, the atonement can work in our lives. I thought of a phrase that I shan't soon forget. "I am a Daughter of God, and there is no off switch."

I am sitting here on the couch of my dear friend Camille's parents. The sliding glass doors spill light into the room and I am also texting Jake. I feel content with my life. I feel content with where it is going. All looks well from here. This house is one that I hope to kind of model my own after someday. With my own personal changes of course. =]

I want to just make a list of happy things. =] Things I'm thankful for in my life.

1: The Lord and His gospel.
    I would not be the same person without it, I wouldn't have the same future, I wouldn't be the same AT ALL without this in my life. I am so glad that I have the gospel to lead my life. =]

2: The internet. haha I dig it.

3: Jacob Willis. ;)

4: Music

5: My family

6: Potato Bread. Especially when it's made by Camille's mom. =]

7: The Dodd Family.

8: The Moss Family

9: Closets, and the fact that I fit in them. =]

10: Big Backyards.

11: Thomas S. Monson. Our beloved prophet.

12: Cherry Trees

13: Flowers That Aren't Roses

14: Bananas

15: My Laptop
