So.......yup, I know I haven't done "The Sunday Post" in a handful of weeks. I wanted to, I really did, but sometimes it just simply slipped away. I was gone for one of them, I was camping, but that only excuses one.
Life can be very monotonous. People get in ruts, their little routines keep them in line. I'm still in a rut that doesn't seem to end. Some how I still have a speck of faith that things will change. I'm literally hanging by a thread. I don't like to write about sad or depressing times, but it is part of life, it is the other side of the story. It has to be told. To help others, to help one self, to remind us, to keep us going forward because deep down we know that things will turn out better, that what we went through makes us stronger. We can't forget the paths that we have traversed, our stories matter, the journey we all take is different but it will either make us or break us.
"It is said that only a fool learns from his own mistakes, a wise man from the mistakes of others." - Otto von Bismarck
We must all learn to be wise. But we must all share our stories so that others can learn. There are certain times and places to tell certain parts of your journey and you will know when the need arises.
Nothing much really happens in church that I haven't really mentioned before. My A.D.D. is still there, speakers, lessons, same old same old. I do recall being pretty grumpy one week, I felt like Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes", this is what I felt like:
Other than that not much has changed. I still try to meet new people every week, always people coming and going or don't go to all the meetings.
Two songs have been giving me a small amount of strength, even though they aren't really new, but I came across them. I have played them over and over that they should be burned into my skull. I'll add a few others that are still awesome/uplifting.
Beyonce - Halo
Adele - Rolling In The Deep
Katy Perry - Fireworks (great song and lyrics, except for "Boom boom boom, even brighter than the moon moon moon")
P!nk - Perfect
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
Sick Puppies - Maybe (I overplayed this one too, aside from the top two)
Quote of the Day(Patience):
"Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of a more serious nature. There seems to be an unending supply of challenges for one and all. Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is required." - Thomas S. Monson, "Patience, a Heavenly Virtue", Ensign, Sept. 2002, 2
