This past weekend my best friend's mom and sister came to visit from New Jersey.
'Twas a wonderful time had by all.
Trips to Bridal Veil, Sundance, Salt Lake, Heber, and Lehi.
Sunday I gave a talk in church. A good time had by me.
What a wonderful life.
If only I was better at documenting it..........

What a wonderful weekend full of spiritual growth! I love conference. I love every second of it. And I definitely gained a lot from all 4 sessions.
Friday afternoon I decided I would buy a candy bar and give it to someone sitting by themselves in the Wilk. I saw a girl all the way in the back against the windows by herself. I was a bit nervous, but I walked over to her, tapped her on the shoulder and said, "This is for you. I hope you have a wonderful day." And she looked me in the eyes and said, "Thank you." It was such a simple gesture that took all of three seconds. But it made me feel so good about myself that I added some sort of goodness to her day. With the candy bar I included a note that read, "I hope this little gift can do a little something for you today. You are loved. Happy conference weekend."
Sometimes people don't need candy bars, but they do need to be reminded that they are always loved.
I certainly don't show my love for my brothers and sisters enough each day. I don't reach out enough. I don't serve enough. I felt so good after giving her that and knowing that her appreciation was sincere.
I really want to work on being a better person in every way; but I especially want to work on just doing simple deeds each day for others. Charity never faileth!
A happy day, a happy life indeed.

Maybe forgetting to write in your blog is actually a good thing. Maybe there's so much going on in your life you completely forget to document it all in your blog assignment. Or maybe there's really nothing going on and yet you still forgot. Last week was week of hell. Glad it's over. However, it's never really over. Nothing ever really ends. Once you're done with one thing, it's on to the next thing, right? Life is crazy and it doesn't slow down ever. It's so important to keep up, though.
So I'll just keep trudging through the journey. While trying to not forget the important, as well as the not-so-important things.
