It's Just One Of Those Days

You know those days where you just don't feel good enough? Today is one of those days. Some days I feel like I am doing good, working hard, on the right path, you know? Then there are others when I feel like I'm not doing half of what I could be.

I don't eat enough vegetables. I have been bad at studying my scriptures this week. I need to study harder for school. I should be exercising ten time harder and more often than I am. I wish I made better dinners for Jesse.

In my head I am a totally different person than I actually am. In my head I go to bed early and wake up early. I go running every day and work out really hard. I don't eat junk food but do eat lots of fruit and vegetables. I read my scriptures by myself and with Jesse every day. I am becoming a great cook and finding new recipes to make. I work hard every minute at work. I am an excellent student and getting good grades. I participate in ward activities. I always have the house clean and smelling nice. I am never sick.

Wouldn't that be the ideal world? I know no one is perfect, and I definitely am not, but I know I can be better than I am right now. If you're not moving forward, you are going backwards. There is no standing still in life.

Maybe my answer shouldn't be focused on myself... maybe I should start serving others and then things will fall into place. "Jesus, others, you" I want that to be my motto.

Anyway. I am done venting about myself. I know I have a wonderful life and am blessed in more ways than I can imagine. But, some days you just feel different.

I am sorry for the bipolarness of my blog... haha.

everyone has days like that! especially when school starts and you are working and married and doing the best you can to fit everything in one day. no one is perfect, keep working hard, you are wonderful!

when the going gets tough, the tough must get going.
tough times don't last; but tough people do.

Little Woman,

You are doing so very well in your life. I'm very proud of the woman you've become. Sorry to hear about a bad day every now and then, but those just come with life. You are on the right path and heading the right direction. Just keep it up.

Love you,

Dad

Alysha, just listen to the others who have written comments. We all have days that we think like that. I am no exception. You just keep trying and doing the best you can. You also haven't felt well and that makes a big difference. I love you and think you are doing great. You have a plate full this semester. You haven't worked and gone to school and been a wife before. All three take your time.

Sorry for the bad day. I am glad you have a place to vent your feelings. I love you. We all have a person inside of us that we really want to be. At least your trying to be that person. Don't give up!
