What's Most Important

If there's anything I've learned over this last year, is that life is tough.

Recently, so much has gone on in the world. Terrible, frightening things that make you ponder about your life. Trying to put yourself in this mass group of peoples shoes, but not succeeding. You wonder why this terrible stuff goes on, but you'll never understand it. And you are left feeling overwhelmed, you want to say so much, but don't know how to phrase it, or just what to say...about anything.

Of course, I'm explaining what I am feeling. With what's happened in France, it's been hard to stay happy or think of anything else. Why? Why do things like this happen?

I can't think of anything hopeful to say, or wise words, or really anything. I have so much to say, but just don't know how. It's what happens when I become overwhelmed and worried.

All I do have to say is, I love my family. I love my friends and I'm so grateful to be a part of a religion that gives me hope in times of darkness. Hug those you love, tell them you love them and are grateful for them. Family matters, so act like they matter, because when you are overwhelmed and scared and frustrated, they are always there for you, and they know you in more ways than anyone else. Love them.

Get a good nights rest,
