Sorry

I'm aware that this blog is typically used for communication about sports. So please forgive the fact that I  have ventured away from the norm for the past little bit.

It is caused partly by my lack of cable television so no sportscenter, and because of the quality of the teams that I support.

Anyway, don't hate me but I wanted to share the new MUTEMATH. I have hipster friends, this is what happens, I now get excited about music.

Can't Help but Smile

This song is so happy. You can't help but smile.

Love.

I’m grateful for the friendships and relationships that have endured the test of time. That my most dear friends will always seem dear to me, despite thousands of miles and oceans that separate us.

I strongly feel like there are reasons that people are brought into our lives during different times and why we remain close to them.

I have the best friends. The people I see on an almost daily basis, the people that I talk to just a couple of times a year and everyone in between.

My life has been shaped by their influence and by their love.

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about love, romantic, platonic and charitable love. I want to live a life where the people that I love never have to question that I love them. And I want my love to be a pure unconditional love like that of the Savior.

There will never be too much love in this world. I want to spend my life wrapped up in the love of people around me, and trying to share that love with them.

Life.

Do you ever have those glorious moments, after taking account of your life, that you can’t help but be happy? Perhaps it is the consequence of actually getting eight hours of sleep for once, but I feeling pretty grateful for my life right now.

My life it nowhere near perfect, trial or drama free. I wish I had more time, more money, more clothes, a whole lot more of everything, but all in all I’m really blessed and really happy.

I’ve got it pretty good.

It’s moments like today that I need to give me some perspective when it feels like my life is crumbling down around me.


For your enjoyment (I've been listening to this all morning):

Be of Good Cheer

I listened to this conversation at work. I was so engrossed by the thoughts of these three great leaders that I neglected my work a bit. Take the time to listen to this because it's fantastic.

"There was one commandment that we may unwittingly violate almost more than any other commandment that the Savior gave and that is the commandment to ‘be of good cheer’. We’re supposed to hope. We’re supposed to be believing. We’re supposed to know it will get better. It will get better. It does get better. He said ‘These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world, ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.’ "
