Hello anyone who is reading my blog. I first have to apologize for my last post as my mom has lost consecutive sleep over it. It was a joke!!! With that being said, I don't want to offend my mom, so I am posting a happy and uplifting post. Steve signed me up for this "LDS gems" daily thought program a few months ago. Well, today seemed like a good day to post something that I felt was really great! I know I am not the only one who feels that staying home is a great honor, however, it is tough, really, really tough. And, sometimes, you feel like you are not becoming something great. Well, read the quote below. It made me happy :)
"There are some among us who are unhappy with their lives because they
have wanted to achieve a measure of greatness in this life but now feel
they have failed in some fundamental way. . . .
"[Joseph F.
Smith wrote:] 'Those things which we call extraordinary,
remarkable, or unusual may make history, but they do not make real
life.
" 'After all, to do well those things which God ordained
to be the common lot of all mankind, is the truest greatness. To be a
successful father or a successful mother is greater than to be a successful
general or a successful statesman.' (Juvenile Instructor, 15 Dec. 1905,
p. 752.) . . .
"True greatness is never a result of a chance
occurrence or a one-time effort or achievement. It requires the
development of character. It requires a multitude of correct decisions for
the everyday choices between good and evil.
So, with that thought, no more Colorado parties for me :)

i think part of true greatness lies in the consistency of good character, and the way your life postively influences others around you on a daily basis. and yours definitely does!!! :)
