I read my last post which was about a month ago and I feel like I was being so lame and depressing. Sure life in Orlando may not be the most amazing thing ever but, life is good and I have notice I haven't found as much to complain about lately. I think what really made me turn my attitude around was General Conference.
President Monson gave a talk about gratitude. He talked about how we tend to focus on the negative things in our life and don't focus enough on the things we have and should be grateful for having. It really made me realize that the hard things that may have been going on in my life at the time are really nothing compared to the things I have been blessed with in my life. One thing he said that I loved was that "to have gratitude in our hearts is to touch heaven". How awesome is that? Who wouldn't want that? Ever since hearing that I have just tried my best to focus more on just trying to find the best out of situations and it has really helped me get through this semester. I don't feel miserable and while I may not go out and have fun every weekend or get to do all the fun stuff I did in UT, I love my life and am so grateful for the people and things I have in my life.
Now it feels like the semester has gone by so fast. I get to go back to Provo in 19 days for Leeshee's wedding(crazy)!!! The week after that I have 3 days of school and then get to go home for thanksgiving. The week after that is the last week of classes, finals the next week and then home for a month for christmas break!!!!! It is going to fly by and I cannot wait! Now it's time for colder weather!
