life

my life has been CRAZY for the last month or so. let me explain...the job i had was really slow thanks to the wonderful real estate market, therefore i decided to get a second job and do both. it just so happens that right when i started my second job, my first job got crazy busy! so i went from working about 10 hours a week to around 50 hours! on top of that i still have a house, a husband and myself to take care of! lately i really feel like i don't even have time to think let alone cook dinner, clean, blog or even shower! its times like these when the words of gordon b. really help....

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just ordinary people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise........Life is like an old-time rail journey-delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." -Pres. Gordon B. Hinkley

i seem to get overwhelmed very easily, but reading these words help me to step back and look at the big picture. life is definitely hard, but it wouldnt be fun without challenges right?!
