A few more :)

If evil be said of thee, and if it be true, correct thyself; if it be a lie, laugh at it. Epictetus
( I need to remember this one and laugh more.)

Do not forget small kindnesses and do not remember small faults.

There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you. David Burns

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitessimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
(This one has been here before but I love it!)

Great Sayings

He who gives money gives much. He who gives time gives more. He who gives himself gives all. Thomas S. Monson

Life is not measures by the amount of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away.

I just needed a little bit of inspiration today...

WOW!

So it is a new day! Well a whole new life! And I thought I couldn't be happier... I am just glowing and it feels great. I dunno if the world can handle me now! lol j/k. I am very thankful to those of you that were able to come and support me in such a huge step in my life. Thank you to those who tried but were unable to for various good reasons. I love you all. I am so thankful for my extended family coming when they only had a couple hours notice! I am so thankful for my friends and family, the support you have all shown me is so wonderful. I did not realize how many people cared about me. I am so thankful to my mom who was able to be next me. Not all women are blessed with the chance to have their mother by their side for it. I have such a great mother. Thank you for all the texts and phone calls that I recieved. My sister was even able to go into a session in Washington while I was in. I love my family! I would not be where I am at if it weren't for my family and friends. You all knew what I was capable of doing and becoming... You were patient (well most of you) and it happened. I just needed to be told that no matter what I was loved and was welcome home at anytime. My mother was the dad in the song "Hurry Home" by Jason Michael Carroll. She is my inspiration and hero. If I grow up to be half the women she is I will have succeeded in life. I just love you all and you are all so amazing and wonderful. I hope that you all know how much I love and appreciate you all. For those of you that have no idea why I am so happy now... I hope that you will search it out. The Temple is so wonderful. True happiness is so close for everyone. I would give anything to keep feeling the way I do. Okay I am done being a girl and all gooshy! I love you all!!!!

2 days!

2 more days!!!! I am so excited to be able to be recieving my endowment. I just wish that all my friends could be there with me. :( I do not even know how to feel. I do not know if I should be excited... scared... nervous... blah... or whatever else. I am having mixed feelings right now! But I can say that excitement keeps winning! I really do wish that Melissa could be there with me though :( I will definitely be at hers. So I guess that is a good thing! I had thought about fasting tomorrow to help me understand the things that I will be seeing and doing but then I decided that I am such a blonde! Why would I fast the day before? So the smart side of me came out and told me to fast all day on Wednesday and then go through the temple that night. :) That makes a lot more sense. I decided that I am glad I am doing this now and not waiting till I get married. A lot of people just go through the motions of going to the temple. They are going because that is what they have to do to be sealed to their spouse. I think that because I am going for only my endowment, that I will hopefully listen and pay more attention to what is going on. I have no other agenda. Therefore my mind and spirit can be right there. Okay so I will stop talking about it! I am just excited and all anyone ever talks to me about is how much harder things are going to be afterwards. How satan is going to work on me harder and everything else. It is like everyone is trying to scare me or something. I just have to say one thing... BRING IT ON!!!! I am so ready for whatever the world or satan has to throw at me. This chica is ready for it! I would prefer to not have to be tempted but if needs be I will overcome! I mean come on, look at everything I have gone through and made it out of? What does he really think he can do to try and bring me down? I have been to the bottom and there is no where but up for me.
