My favorite song is a hymn. It's one that offers peace and comfort. It's a beautiful hymn and one that reminds me to refocus my thoughts and energy on the good things in life.
In Humility, Our Savior
Hymn, #172

Day 29: In this past month, what have I learned
Well, I didn't really learn this, but I've rediscovered this. I really, truly, with all of my heart, hate winter. I'm done with the cold and I'm ready for warmth.
Day 28: A picture of me from last year
And how I've changed since then.
This photo was taken last Memorial Day after a very long, very hot hike.
How have I changed? I've learned in the last year not to take some things so seriously. There are some people who really are just that stupid and you'll never be able to change them. Instead of letting it stress you out, you should let it go. I've learned that I am stronger than I ever thought I could be. I can do more than I thought and I am smarter than I ever believed. I'm capable and independent and strong and that's totally alright with me, even if some people think I'm too capable or too independent or too strong. (But really, that's a topic for another day). I've learned that I am A-OK. But I'm working on accepting all of these things.

Day 27: Why I'm doing this 30 Day Challege
You'll notice a slew of posts today. That's because this 30 day challenge needs to be done!
When I first started the challenge, I thought it was a great idea to help me stay current with my blog. Plus, I had some free time on my hands and I really did think I could keep up with a post a day. About 1 week into the 30 day challenge, I didn't have so much free time anymore.
So, while I did enjoy the prompts and the help to blog, I'm really ready to have this thing done. It's kind of stressing me out!

Day 26: What do I think about my friends
Truly, I love my friends. I feel very blessed to have had great friends in my life. I feel even more blessed to have kept so many friendships for so many years. It's truly rare to have friends that are still your friends that survived the teenage years with you.
I was thinking just recently how it's my church callings that tend to bring some of my greatest friends into my life. If I wouldn't have had certain callings, I'd never be able to call some of my closest allies my friends.

Day 25: What Would You Find in My Bag
If this would have been yesterday, the story would be a lot different. However, I cleaned my purse last night. Today you would find:
- My wallet. With 5 quarters. Because the dang drink machine ate my other dollar and only gave me 5 quarters back.
- A notebook. You never know when a strike of genius may hit and you simply must write it down.
- My planner. Which I need to get better at using because I'm losing my mind.

Day 24: A letter to my parents
Dear mom and dad,
Thanks for getting married and stuff. If you didn't get married, then the world wouldn't have been graced with my presence. Think how deprived this world would be without me. It's a good thing you two got together so the world could experience me. I mean, seriously, think how terrible it would be. Tragic. Seriously.
Love,
Me
P.S. I know I said you should have stopped having children after me. I'm glad you didn't listen to me, because without my younger siblings, your only grandchildren would be plants.
