Yes, I often leave the house late,
without my hair done, without make-up, or a rational thought in my head. I run
outside without shoes on, and spend too long sitting in the sun, and forget
about cooking supper until 7 or 8 o'clock sometimes, and forget to wear sunscreen
on the hottest days.
But life is crazy, and it all happens so fast.
Being home from University in a place I've never been and people I don't know
for the most part only adds to the chaos.
But with the inspiration and motivation from an excellent relief society lesson
given today, I feel refreshed in my drive and goals to get my life in order!
To help with me getting my life in order I've decided to layout some
guidelines:
- No more sleeping in like you've
never slept in your life- Early to bed, early to rise= 10 pm and 7 am
- Cardio on top of yoga and arms/abs
workout each day
- Get a job
- Stop throwing my clothes on the
floor, they don't need that kind of abuse in their life anymore
- More regular scripture study with
study tools such as ensign, teachings of prophets, preach my gospel etc.
- ....
...Okay that's all I got so far, but I'm going to start using my planner
again, and limit the slothfulness! In relief society we were learning from Spencer W. Kimball
about truth, learning truth and the value of truth. It was actually really good, and I believe lesson #10. This is one of the scriptures we discussed- John 8:32
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free.
It
just really got me thinking about how much truth I still have to learn in this
life- spiritually and through secular learning. I have so much to learn, and so little time!
I really have to quit wasting this precious time if I want to become all that
I have the potential to become! I know I can if I set my mind to it! I want to become more fit, a better cook,
increase my vocabulary, learn SO MUCH more in my understanding of the gospel of
Jesus Christ, and become better in my studies at school too!
I also, am pretty sure that if I focus on increasing my spiritual understanding
and focus on centering my life around Christ, all aspects of my life will
improve!
So here is my rant, I am inspired, and setting goals! Yes, I may be an unorganized mess, with confusing and discouraging days but at least I know there is room and hope for improvement! One step closer to making
progress!
P.S. My puppy is way cute.
I am the luckiest
girl to have such sweet and thoughtful friends.
I am so sad for anyone who doesn't have a sassy Holly and hilarious
Janie in your life. They are wonderful
and true friends if I've ever seen them. This week I got a lovely and big
surprise in the mail as I found a large brown paper package tied up with string-with
a nice reference to the sound of music stuffed in my mail box. I didn't know if
I was going to be able to even get the package out at first. The thought of
having to open the package in the mail box and leave the box itself inside made
me laugh. But with skill and patience I managed to wiggle it out. With items
from Canada, France, Hawaii and a local T&T store in Calgary, I was excited to find the cutest gifts and letters ever imaginable. And keep in mind,
this was supposed to be delivered while I was in the states still- hence the Canadian gifts, but with a
late send off it was still much MUCHO MUCH MUY MUCHONESS appreciated.
