Dislike & Love - Part III

Today I Dislike...

forgetting peoples names

(I never forget a face),

being "too busy",

customer service

(oh-ho so much right now),

the mean lady on the phone that

caused my dislike for customer service,

headaches

and the many things about me and my life

that cause them to visit on a regular basis,

mascots,

trying to eat yogurt with a lump in my throat,

playing indoor soccer

with a massive exercise ball

and a herd of aggressive males,

construction:

walking around it,

driving around it,

and living around it,

bad days.

. . .

Today, I Love...

starting the day with a good workout,

having my Dad's office so close,

big bursts of light that fill my bedroom just as I'm going to sleep

(aka meteors breaking through the atmosphere, as long as they leave us alone)

the tranquility of prayer and knowing that

someone always understands and forgives,

Ibuprofen,

my new calling in my ward

(even though it's hard),

having a holiday to look forward to,

going home,

Rachmaninov's beautiful 18th Variation

from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

(close your eyes and drink it in),

Madre's tight hugs that make

all the bad stuff melt away,

remembering the bigger picture

and reminding myself not to worry,

hope.

. . .

"You cannot control what happens to you,
but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you,
and in that, you will be mastering change

rather than allowing it to master you."

~Brian Tracy~

Remember to make sure your "Love List" is always longer than your "Dislike List"

...and all things will work together for your good!

I love you, peoples! xoxo
