life.

"Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,

and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds.

To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you."

Christian D. Larson

i see this quote every single day in my room. i love it, a whole bunch. but can i just say i'm grateful for life right now? i'm grateful for those people who inspire me to be a better person. those little beams of sunshine that tap on my shoulder & help me feel some of their light. of course, as always, i'm grateful for the gospel & for my Heavenly Father--I can feel his hand in my life big time right now.

that's all for words, here enjoy a few pictures from the day:
