Thoughtful Sunday

Today was a rather thoughtful day. Life has been going pretty well lately... at least with enough positives that the negatives seem almost non-existent. I'm leaving in two weeks for my dance trip to Europe, I've been getting to know more people in my ward and make new friends, and I've gone on some fun dates lately too! I have a fabulous family, amazing amigos, I have a great job, and I'm fulfilling a life dream soon. That's a lot to be thankful for.

Some other thoughts played around in my head today. I saw to new friends in the ward today who are now dating (so cute!). Once again I realized that I haven't been in a serious relationship for over two and a half years. Not so much as a self-pity reverie, I did ponder for a few moments on the situation. I have gone on lots of dates in that interim and part of the problem was that I just wasn't interested in making things serious with some of the guys that were interested in that. And then I thought about more recent events. Just because you want something a lot doesn't mean you should look for it at every door. Tonight it sort of dawned on me that hey, maybe it's okay that this person isn't into me that much. Because, when all is said and done, it is okay.

Life is good-- who can complain?

Hey ER!!! I found your blog. :) I miss you. Hope you're doing well! And yes, just because you really want something doesn't mean it's right. You know what... I was thinking the other day about how you deserve the BEST guy ever. You really do. And don't settle for less. Just have fun. Love life! It sounds like you are... and that's awesome. Hope you're having fun where ever you are! :) Love ya! Hillary

Don't limit yourself and don't let others convince you that you are limited in what you can do. Believe in yourself and then so as to reach your possibilities. You can achieve what you believe you can. Trust and believe and have faith. ~ President Thomas S. Monson
