Lately I have been either super stressed or super distracted. I don't really know what's going on that is causing all of this.... (actually I do, I just don't want to get into it right now). But it's times like theses I have to look at the simple things in my life that make me so happy.
I have been blessed with an amazing friend down here at SUU. I think God definitely knew what he was doing when we were put into the same apartment. I honestly don't know what I would do without her. Whenever I am struggling she pulls me into her room and just helps me get away for awhile. She is always there for me. So I'm pretty lucky.
There's also just the tiny things you don't necessarily notice every day...
A phone call from your mom
Getting a good grade on an assignment
Sleeping in
Your favorite song coming on the radio
Reading your scriptures
Putting on sweats and just relaxing
Drinking hot chocolate
Going to your favorite restaurant
Finding a letter in your mailbox
Laughing with your friends
Telling stories from the day
Having sleepovers for days
Crawling into your cold sheets before falling asleep
Getting a hug
Chocolate
Drinking chocolate milk and crying
Watching your favorite show on TV with your friend
Buying matching PJ's
Taking pointless videos and pictures
Listening to old voice mails
Praying and just getting everything out
Whispering in the dark with your best friend
Pigging out in the kitchen
Listening to your favorite playlist
Looking back on your favorite memories
Reading old journal entries and seeing how far you've come
This list could go on and on. Every one of those things has helped me through hard times. I just need to open my eyes and notice these things that happen so often and really appreciate the good times I have had. When everything seems to be falling down around you, just remember the things that make you happy. Life is hard sometimes and that's undeniable, but if you take a step back and look at the big picture.... your life is amazing and you don't want to miss a second of it.
