“Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house, and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”
― Lowell C. Bennion
This is me. To a T.
I enjoy life. I enjoy the company of friends. especially my friends. I enjoy nature, particularly clouds and skies. I have a chap-stick fetish. I have a serious relationship with food, and I have the belly flab to show it. No big deal. I believe that my family is the greatest blessing that God has given me. I know He loves me, because I feel his love everyday. I know my Savior loves me, because He died for me, and suffered for me so I wouldn't have to. I believe in service. Not only to people around us, but people from other lands. I know that "God is mindful of every people," regardless of their circumstances. I believe that the trials I am faced with are just sections of this big test of life we are in. Bubble baths can cure any illness, but chocolate can only cure a craving. Sadly. I like to think of myself as a happy person, but I'm human, and sometimes life can bring me down. But I just do my best.
