an email excerpt and a photo

I got an email about a group project last night and this is a direct quote from it:
"I am sorry that I did not e-mail this yesterday, but I was judging at a martial arts tournament."

oh my.  i was laughing out loud in my room at 1:30 a.m. when i read that.


on another note:

this is my great grandma.  almost 97 years old.
i love her because she has such a positive attitude.
i'm pretty sure she has more friends than me,
and i know she is one of the happiest people on earth.

i'd pay big bucks to take bath in a jacuzzi tub right now.

i'm pretty sure an hour in one of these would be the greatest hour of my year.  thank you pinterest.

it's the little things.

the little things like airborne.

like taking off my jewelry at the end of the day.

like noticing that God's hand is in the tiniest details of life.  i don't thank Him enough.

it's the little things like going out to breakfast. what a treat!

like snow.  scraping it off my car.  shoveling it.  driving in it.
{don't worry sunshine, i love you more}

the little things like genuine compliments.

like reading through old blog posts.
(one of my favorites is THIS.  it's a good reminder.)

like taking a nap.

like simple happiness. there's no better feeling.

like being in good company.

the little things like primary songs.

the death of me

will be cold sores.

on another note, here's a quote for the day:

"We should honor
the savior's declaration
to 'be of good cheer.'
Indeed it seems to me
we may be more guilty
of breaking that commandment
than almost any other!"
-Elder Holland
