Just some added thoughts

So I'm 9 days into my resolutions and I wanted to do a review just because I realized that my goals are more temporal than spiritual. The "temper resolution" is spiritual to a certain extent. And I must admit...I am a happier person. I didn't realize how quick my temper flares up for little things like being behind a schedule I had set for myself or someone driving at 10 miles per hour. don't get me wrong, I still get upset, but I recognize it and stop myself from saying, doing or thinking anything else that would continue the anger. Because I do that...I'm happier.

Rabici and I sat down yesterday and discussed so many things about this year. We are always so busy that it's a miracle for us to be together. During the winter break from my masters and from students we've caught up on a lot of "we" time. And during that "we" time we've settled on some spiritual goals as well. Mostly they have do with an increase in scripture study, individual prayers and so on. Which made me think about how as latter-day saint's and a children of God we know better, but sometimes we don't act better. And by we, I mean me in this instance. I'm speaking about myself for this post since I'm reviewing my own goals and resolutions.

I mainly want to express my gratitude for everyone in my life who has made me want to be a better person. For my friends out there who keep me smiling and laughing, you are the only reason I haven't died of a heart attack; you keep me young and as healthy as I cn be eating the way I do! For those I'm not too friendly with, you allow me to work on what I lack in patience, forgiveness, and just getting over myself.

I think is this is one of the most thoughtful, non-angry, posts I've ever had. Maybe it's because I'm doing what I'm supposed to and what my Primary, Young Women, Seminary and BYU-H professors have been teaching me to do for forever! Wow, took me long enough. :)
