Sunshine & Summer Time

Can I just say that I love the Sunshine. More importantly I love, love - love love love - sitting or walking in the sunshine. Even in the freezing winter months I love walking up the hill and feeling the sunshine poke through the leaves on the trees (which are sadly no longer standing due to the new auditorium construction) on to my face. It reminds me of everything good and happy in my life. Reminds me to be greatfull for each opportunity to feel the sun on my face! I love sitting by the window with the sun coming in and reading - just basking in the warmth. Or even just laying in the grass - trying to make cloud objects.

I think sometimes I get so caught up in life and going to - feeling like I need to be doing something - that I forget to appreciate every day.

Today I walked down to my job interview - WALKED!!! - and it was amazing. I loved it - and I realized why I love this tiny town so much. Without the hustle of the students it is a peaceful place - where I have grown and learned much more than I ever dreamed possible. I walked past the first buildings in town - I am sure of it - and noticed the 'rustic' look - who knew there was a homemade craft store?! I think the buildings even have apartments over them! It struck me that there was so much history in this town that so many of the students just passed right by. So today I took a moment and thought about the stories the walls could tell - and remembered that it is the little things that make the biggest difference.

Life

I have decided --- once again -- that life is very interesting. I am not really sure what to make of it - but I have realized that there must be a higher power at work in my life. I say this not only because it is true - but because of the crazy string of recent events in my life. It seems like everything really does work out - if you are: 1) doing the 'little things' that really make the difference; 2) making the right decision and 3) having a little faith and trust. I have come to the conclusion that this is the pretty much the only reason why things go right in my life.

Recently I have made some decisions that I feel are a step into the right direction. I have worked to align my heart with Heavenly Fathers - and thus far --- it is working out. Now - just because it is working out - does not mean that each decision and action was easy and painless -- but I think that is a large part of growing. Feeling pain - helps us grow -- and brings immense joy also! Without the pain - how could I know the sweet taste of happiness?

I do wonder when the speeding bullet -that is called my life for the past two weeks - is going to slow down -- when the spiritual high is going to come crashing down around me - and when this amazing opportunity is going to blow-up in my face. But at the same time - I truly hope and wish it doesn't. Because --- this could be the best thing in my life.... even if it isn't what I was planning on - or what I said I wanted. Plus -- since when do I get what i want anyways?!?! ;)
