The week in musings

Just some random musings I've had over the past week:

• So much music on the radio is ridiculous lately. 
• I never want to be one of those people that make you think "I wonder what she says about me when I'm not here..."
• Sometimes life is so difficult and I don't like it. How can I become content with the simple fact that life is hard and I need to learn to enjoy it anyway? 
• Gossip is so detrimental to everyone's Spirit. I really want to be a person who is known for always saying positive things about people and standing up for them when others aren't. 
• Sometimes I get tired of trying so hard and I give up. But then it makes life so much worse and then I have to try that much harder. 
• Dates are fun, and even though I haven't been very excited about them, they are really good for me and they turn out much better than expected. 
• I am not a huge fan of meat. But Tucanos is still good--I just like the non-meat stuff better. 
• Not doing an assignment is the WORST thing EVER! 
• If I never get married, or if I don't get married for a long time, I don't want to become bitter about it and cynical about life and critical of other people who seem like their dreams are all fulfilled. 
• I need to figure out my priorities and make them priorities time-wise during my day. I think that would make life a little easier. 
• I need to have more faith that I can get answers to my prayers, even if they take a long, long time in coming and lots and lots of fervent prayers.
• I love children, they make me so happy :)
• I never appreciated people's testimonies very much until lately--now I'm beginning to understand what people meant when they said they were strengthened by hearing the testimonies of others. 

Ok, I need to go to bed now.  I'm going to make this next week so much better than this last. And I'm going to memorize a scripture a day, like I'm supposed to. And I'm going to read a conference talk (at least one) this week. And I'm going to read my scriptures in the morning-no matter what else I have to do. And I'm going to sing a lot. And pray a lot. And refuse to be okay with negative thoughts.

Goodnight.
