Motivational Monday

I LOVE this video.  It speaks peace right to my soul and is just so encouraging.



At this time in my life I think this quote fits perfectly.  It's always been one of my very favorite quotes from one of my very favorite people.
“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to just be people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey…delays…sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling burst of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”
Gordon B. Hinckley

Coming Soon...

So I was doing well getting back into the blogging jig after we finally got our internet back and then Bam, our computer doesn't work.  Well thanks to some help from one of my very best friends, my brother Beau, I now have a beautiful new laptop (named Blue Steel because it's blue and sexy and strong).  I've never had such a nice computer that works so well and is just so awesome!  So now that I have the tools (internet and Blue Steel), I am excited to get back to my blogging jig.  I'm going to try something a little new in an attempt to keep my blog interesting.  I will do daily features. I openly admit I got a lot of these ideas from other friends' blogs and some of the ideas I came up with on my own.  I hope it proves interesting and enjoyable.  So starting this weekend here will be the following features:

Monday- Motivational Monday
Tuesday- Text on Tuesday (idea from Sara Murdock's blog)
Wednesday- Wordless Wednesday (idea seen on multiple blogs)
 Thursday- Thoughtful Thursday- musings from my mind
Friday- Flashback Friday- pictures and memories from my past
Saturday- Smiling Saturday- pictures and blessings that I'm grateful for- that make me smile
Sunday- Weekly Family Review
