Curse of Mediocrity Update

My last post sounded so negative. This summer was a bit of a dark time in my life. I have since turned my attitude around and am enjoying all life has to offer; including the bumps and bruises along the way. Soon after the previous post my brother Taylor came and lived with me for a semester. I love that kid!! We had a lot of fun together and he helped to bring me out of my funk. He has since moved on to bigger a better things, a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but I have not returned to the depressing girl of the past. I do have a new job which is fulfilling and has helped me to reach a greater financial security. Taylor and a new job were great medicine but I was finally cured of my negative attitude when I committed my life more fully to my Heavenly Father. I am far from perfect and have so much to work on but true happiness really does come from living the Gospel to the utmost of your ability. "His was is the only way that leads to happiness in the life and eternal life in the world to come." I am so grateful for this gospel and the testimony I have of its truthfulness. I am so proud of my brother for deciding to help others find the truth for two years of his life. I am happy and that is all that matters. I still dream big but the grass is not greener on the other side it is green enough right under my feet. Single, married, mother, aunt, rich, poor, skinny, fat... these titles don't matter. All that matters is that I know who I am, I am a daughter of God, He loves me, and that I live my life to show my love back to Him by keeping his commandments. So please disregard the previous post. Life is oh so good!!
