Living in the moment...

D&C 84: 82-85 -

82 For, ^aconsider the ^blilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin; and the kingdoms of the world, in all their glory, are not arrayed like one of these.

83 For your ^aFather, who is in heaven, ^bknoweth that you have need of all these things.

84 Therefore, let the morrow take ^athought for the things of itself.

85 Neither take ye thought beforehand ^awhat ye shall say; but ^btreasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be ^cgiven you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man.

*This is my favorite scripture. And I love it because it reminds me to get not so uptight about life and worry about the future. Rather live in the moment. Don't get stuck on the things that aren't important. If you live for the future, you will miss today - live for TODAY.

Two Persons - The Good

For this assignment I'm supposed to pick a person of whom I have a good relationship with and record how I have worked to improve this relationship throughout the course of the semester. I've decided I'd like to improve my relationship with my friend Breanne.

Me and Breanne met under some unusual circumstances last fall, and have been best friend ever since. Our housing complex last fall oversold on private room contracts and three of us girls that had private rooms were placed in one apartment. (Please note that there are only two private rooms per apartment.) Lets make a long story short, if our manager hadn't made this mistake, Breanne would have been in a different apartment (because I was signed up to live with a friend who had the other private room) and we would have never gotten to know each other. I believe me and Breanne were destined to be friends. :) We have so much fun together and get get along like peas and carrots.

Specific Goals: To have better communication, listen better, be more empathetic

Two Persons - The Not-So-Good

For this assignment I'm supposed to pick a person of whom I have a not-so-good relationship with and work on improving it throughout the course of the semester. I feel one person in particular that I would like to have a better relationship with is my sister Holly.

Holly and I fought nonstop growing up. I know it's because I took the place as the baby in the family. You see, Holly was the baby for 7 years before I came along. It's gotten better over the years, but I think it's better today because we both tend to "stay out of each others way". Not in avoidance, but because we don't want to start something. We have fun and play when we get together, but there's still some kind of wall in between us.

I'd really like to improve this relationship, as I would with all my siblings, but especially Holly. She has such a sweet, giving heart and I would like to be closer to her so I can learn more from her. Our relationship is difficult yes, but I'd like to become best friends with my sister.
