Relief Society

So I think I post everyday, but owell. On Saturday our branch had a Relief Society English Garden Party. I wasn't too excited to go because I was sad with my mom & dad leaving, but decided I need to get out and meet ladies! I was so glad I went. Sister Kea Lowe gave a "lesson" and there was something she said that really hit home. I'm not sure if this is the exact quote but it was similiar and the same meaning:

Thomas S. Monson

"Daydreaming of the past and longing for the future may provide comfort but will not take the place of living in the present. Professor Harold Hill, in Meredith Willson’s The Music Man, cautioned: “You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you’ve collected a lot of empty yesterdays.” There is no tomorrow to remember if we don’t do something today, and to live most fully today, we must do that which is of greatest importance."

So I've kept that on my mind, and instead of dwelling on how sad it is to be away from my best friend Aimee, or family & sisters I've kept my outlook on living TODAY! I'm so thankful we had this opportunity to take this job and also to move out of my comfort zone. It's been a struggle with finding friends who I feel comfortable around or things in common, but that's okay. If I'm looking for friends, they'll come. Even if it is the missionaries :) I always seem to be friends and doing a lot with them. But that's okay too! So I'm going to enjoy today and everything in my life that is great!
