happy sunday, friends!
ps. we got a new computer last night so expect more regular posts! 

be happy. be bright. be you.

if you have been a long time reader of abcde you know i have struggled with being happy with myself. i always have struggled with finding happiness with myself. of course i am happy with my family, marriage, friends and life in general. it's me i have not been happy with. the last few weeks i have really been focusing on being happy with my imperfections. daniel always tells me to take it easy on myself, i know i need too but, it's so hard. you ARE your worst critic. 

i have done my best to keep busy during my days. some of you know that i am home all day. i don't work. i have my shop but, thats it. since i am home all day i have ALOT of time to think which in some cases is not good. with all this time on my hands i spent way too much time thinking of things i needed to change and how i am not perfect. blah blah blah. 

recently i have started reading more, saying more meaniful prayers/really thank my heavenly father for all my many blessings, taking pride in cooking good meals, cleaning more {sure the hubby loves it!}, reading scriptures daily, and sometimes taking walks to clear my head. i have noticed a HUGE difference in my attitude. one thing i do want to start is working out again. when i was working out regularly i was in a better mood generally but, it's oh so hard to get motivated right?! so, anyways here's to being happy. being bright and being me!!

love this quote from sister hinckley.

words

i know, im braking my no blogging on the weekend rule. but i wrote this before today so i guess i still am keeping my rule! here are some words to ponder. remember the other day when i posted this? well after i did i started my quest to find something to lift me up. thank you to all who emailed, and commented. i love each and everyone of you!  


after i wrote that post, i realized i really do believe we are given trials in our lives to make us stronger. what ever the trial may be, you will learn so much about yourself. so i want to thank each and everyone of you who emailed, commented and even text me. i love you all. thank you for helping me lift my mood. 
xoxo
