Take a Second...

Sometimes when things get crazy busy and I start to stress about everything in life I get caught up and tend to forget all of the amazing blessings that I have. Today was one of those days, so to counteract I decided it was time to do an evaluation to remind myself of all I've been blessed with.
- I have an amazing family. I get to see them frequently even though some of them live far away. I'm lucky to have my sister Linds about 2 min from my house and she lets me bug her all the time.
- I am lucky to have great friends. I've always had such amazing friends. I really don't know how I am so lucky. Although my parents aren't in Utah anymore I feel like I always have close friends surrounding me like family.
- Not only do I have one great job, but I have two. I have been doing personal training for the past year and a half for a private gym in Orem and I LOVE it. I get to hang out with great people, and talk about health and fitness, my passion. I also started working for my brother-in-law's security company doing all his financial work about 5 months ago, and it has been awesome. I work with great people there and they are so good to me. I love both aspects of work even though they are so different.
- I am healthy. My schedule gives me time to workout everyday and it's such a stress release to me. I really and truly feel blessed to be able to have time in my day to workout. I love it. Although I may not be exactly where I want to be physically, I feel like I have been and will be able to accomplish a lot. (I'm still proud of the smith fam for completing the 1/2 marathon together, what a cool experience!!)
- I have been able to get a college education. I couldn't have done this with out the love and support of my parents, and I know there are so many people who don't have this opportunity. The things I have learned in college have been invaluable. Not only have I learned so much relating to my field I learned a lot about myself, and my capabilities as a person. Although many times I almost gave up, I always had the support of the great people around me to keep me going.
- I have the gospel in my life. This is the greatest blessing I could possibly have in my life. It is my constant. I love the peace and the strength that I get from the gospel.
- I have a car that doesn't break down on the side of the freeway at 5 in the morning. Bless you my little black beauty.
- I have food to eat, a place to live (yessss!!), and clothes to wear.

My apologies for the rambling, but I feel better already. :)
