The act of selfless giving is one of the most beautiful attributes on earth.  It is a sign of true charity and a sign of caring.  I have recently had an experience with this.  I started to feel sick and was trying to bake a cake for a friends birthday.  So I had gone over to some friends house to make it and during it I felt nauseous so I came back home.  I wrote to one of the friends there saying I was feeling nauseous and that I would be back over in a little to finish it up.  Without hesitation she responded that when I get back over she would make some herbal tea for me and give me a couple vitamins.  How kind, sweet, and charitable of her to do that.  When I did go back over she was good to her word and I am thankful for that generosity.  I had to come back home quickly because the feelings where intensifying.  Two roommates helped me out greatly and then a bit later I needed rushed to the hospital because my body hadn't been absorbing any liquid for two days and I was dehydrated and had severe flu symptoms.   But the roommate who took me just stopped what ever he was doing and took me.  Two other roommates where out buying me some Ginger Ale to help the stomach and I told them I was going to the Hospital.  By the end 6 friends where there with me at the Hospital, one of them who's Birthday it was.  What great love and support.  Truly nothing can beat such great people!

We stand at the brink of a new day.  With the sun rising about the Mountains and the sky's changing to the auburn and dark blue hue.  We see the light filling the earth and showing us what was hid to our eyes.  The slumbering that we were once in has fallen from our eyes like the shackles of prison.  We live and we breath!  We move and we work.  We prepare for the new day in which all the opportunities are furnished before us! This is the day of choice, this is the day of awakening, this is the day to live our lives!
Throw down the old chains which bound you, you have been made free through the agency that you agreed to God to use.  You are made free through the Atonement of Christ of past follies never to tread those paths again.  The lessons learned, the trip anew, the choices are wiser and free-er!  Ah, this is the day of joy in which we live in!  God be thanked!

Take it by the Horns

So what are we waiting for?  We make plans in our heads, we have ideals that we want to obtain, we have ideas of friends that we want to know, and (if your not married) people you want to ask out!  Why are we waiting?!  Don't!  Just go do it, if you do not try then you will always wonder.  Let the wondering stop and embrace life with the vigor of a tiger and enjoy every moment like it is your last!
Today was an example of that for me.  I woke up made the plans for the day and confirmed that things were going on today.  I got home from classes and was talking to my roommate who was going to Utah for the weekend and giving some people a ride. This made the thought dawn on me that I wanted to go!  I had been asking people that lived down there how often they go to see about rides and my roommate is going!  Within 2 hours we where on the Road!  A recent friend was going through her music selection and just playing all the different types.  It opened up my mind once again to music selection!  Some of the songs found cords in my soul while some didn't and that's what it is all about.  Learning, growing, and never settling down so far down in our ways, except on moral principles and the true doctrine of Christ, that we don't want to change or it becomes hard to adjust.  Live and be free!
