"If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most."
Life is quite something isn't it?
It seems like when things are good, happy, smooth flowing, and stress free a curve balls is thrown and your world turns upside down.
That's why when I read this quote(in red), by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, it made everything alot more clear.
I thought to myself... Do I do that? Do I get upset because of the little worldly stresses in everyday life? Do I not recognize the wonderful things I have? Do I complain when something so small is out of line or if my plans are changed for some reason or another. The answer to that is YES, I do.
Now r I think everyone on this earth has moments like that. The moments where you feel like your swimming in mud and you can't pull yourself out; but in reality, whether the problem is big or small, when you step out of yourself and look into the situation from a different perspective you realize that you and many others have conquered and been through way worse.
In this world we are all faced with disappointment, stress, and defeat. Fortunately those hideous words can be buried.
They're buried with things such as family, love, church, courage, faith, hard work, friends, scriptures, and so many other things.

In life I think that the way to get through trials is by relying on yourself and the ones who love you to pull through the hard days.
BUT the revelation I had this past month is to not just be grateful for the wonderful things that we all have in our lives but to be grateful every day of our lives. To realize the amount of love each person has in their life.
The week of my dad's birthday while I was driving I heard one of his favorite songs by George Straight, The Breath You Take. Right in the car I started sobbing (I've been emotional lately). I had heard it a couple of months before I was married and didn't really listen to the words but now being recently married I have had a different perspective of that song. The lyrics are so sweet and tender and make you realize the importance of savoring every single breath and moment.
Now to set the record straight I need to say I love my husband Rex with every ounce of my body. He is my companion, my best friend, and my forever love. and I LOVE BEING MARRIED.
BUT since I got married (you could say)... REALLY YOUNG and time with my fam was cut short. Ive realized over the past 5 months how thankful I am for all the time I spent with my family and all the wonderful moments that took my breath away and all the love that was shared.
Basically this is my sappy post on realizing the blessings of having such a wonderful family, life, husband, friends, and especially for the moments that have taken my breath away.
In the midst of hardships, trials, and struggles LIFE IS GOOD.
