Feeling Good

The start of the "Five Feel Goods"

So I follow a blogger that does this and I have seen it more and more, and I think I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon.  Each week I want to have a post about five things I'm thankful for that week.  If it is anything like the last 'thankful' posts, I know I'll prolly have a whole bunch of crazy random posts!  Here are five things that make me feel good / I'm thankful for :)

#1: The Sun

"There is springtime in my soul today,

For when the Lord is near,

The dove of peace sings in my heart,

The flow’rs of grace appear.

Oh, there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine

When the peaceful happy moments roll.

When Jesus shows his smiling face,

There is sunshine in the soul!"

Today the sun was shining...mostly...and it was just wonderful!

I absolutely loved it!!!!

The sun can just make you completely happy sometimes.

I sure hope it comes out again tomorrow.

#2: Pianos

Today I was once again able to go to the church and play the piano.  It is my de-stressor and man! I sure can leave my entire load on the keys.  After I play a while, I can completely lose myself in playing.  I've played for hours upon hours when I only realize because my back aches.  Today was one such day :) but I love to play the piano!  I can clear my mind completely, and it just makes me feel oh so good!

#3: Tangled

Ok, if you haven't seen this movie yet...you gotta.  Disney did it again.  I think it is so cute! and it will give a lot of laughs.  Here is one of my favorite parts of the movie.  The lyrics to this song are so funny:

#4: My phone

I have been so fortunate to have a cell phone that I can call home with.  Without it, I would definitely be homesick all of the time.  I can't imagine not being able to talk with my mom everyday.  I would be up the crick without a paddle if I couldn't call dad to get help.  The other day our sink became clogged...hehe, but I'll spare you the details...and so I called Dad.  It looked like it might be a simple job to just unbolt it, but I wasn't sure.  This happened at 2 am and he was at work so, I gave him a call and he told me how to do it.  Thanks again Dad! and then I also get to use my phone tomorrow to hold an interview for my job over the summer.  Crossing my fingers I get it! :)

#5: This Quote

"I've heard there are troubles of more than one kinds.  Some come from ahead and some come from behind.  But I've bought a big bat.  I'm all ready you see.  Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!" - Dr. Suess

I really enjoyed this quote today.  It's just...applicable haha.  He has some great lines.  There are a bunch of people I want to meet when I get to the other side, and yes...Dr. Suess is one of them :)

Happy Easter!

I know that our Savior lives.

He atoned for all of us, that we may one day return and live with Him again.

I am eternally grateful for that great act

and will forever be indebted.

~ The greatest man in history was named Jesus. He had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. ~

"Oh sweet, the joy this sentence gives:

I know that my Redeemer Lives!"

April

Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway. ~Mary C. Crowley

I stole this pic from my neighbor Dave.

He took it this morning...it looks like this and it is April: kinda crazy

Spiritual Bacon

I was talking with a friend about institute,

and I told them what my teacher had said that day:

"Now I'm going to share something with you that can save your spiritual bacon!" - Brother Salmond

It made me giggle, and that's when they

told me about this website. here's

a few quotes that gave me a laugh:

Primary child: We believe in being honest, true, chased by an elephant…

Child singing: We all have work, come on you jerk! Put your shoulder to the wheel!

Ward Activity Flyer: Please come to the ward summer pool party and BBQ. Swimsuits optional.

YM referring to ward clerk: What is the name of the guy who walks around checking who is singing?

Single ward bishop: I don’t like the term linger longer, I prefer to call it have a cookie take a lookie

(ain't that the truth)

A Post for Megan

A post for Megan:

Sunrise

"I've heard there are troubles or more than one kind.  Some come from ahead and some come from behind.  But I've bought a big bat.  I'm all ready you see.  Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!" - Dr. Suess  I just really liked this quote when I read it, so I thought I'd share.  Today was just wonderful!  We went to a fireside tonight and it was really good.  The first speaker brought up the idea of getting up to watch the sunrise on Easter morning.  I think I'm going to have to take her up on that.

I've been dreading the fact that school is almost over again, and that I have to go and drive truck.  I hate shift work!  But then, I also get to see some truly spectacular views when the sun rises and sets.There was one day at work where it was really foggy.  We were working right up on top of the mountain, and when the sun came up over the fog...I thought to myself: "I wouldn't be surprised if this is what the entrance to heaven looks like".  It was so beautiful!  The clouds/fog were all pink with hints of purple and blue, and you could see tons of pine trees sticking up through the mist.  Truly a spiritual experience right there.  At least things like that make it a little more enjoyable.  

Craziness

“A little craziness once in a while perpetuates sanity.” 

I've always wanted to be able to fly

and this is the closest thing

I can find (besides a computer, etc)

If I wasn't a chicken, I'd do this:

At a 1:30....yeah, they're crazy
