Growing Younger: If you could go back in time, what would you tell your younger self?

If you could go back in time, what would you tell your younger self?

So today I found myself FB stalking one of my best friends from elementary school.
for some reason we aren't actually facebook friends, which really does legitimize the stalking...

She is on a mission!!! Do you know how awesome that is?!?!

I haven't seen her since I was 14... and she is still strong in the gospel. Went to institute regularly. Loves Michael Jackson. And Beauty, which happens to be one of my favorite books ever.

And you know, I'm pretty sure we would still be friends.

Way to go younger self!! You know how to pick good friends!! :)

Also, since we are talking about the past, I will divulge a fact for you. I used to dance ballet. For 9 years of my life. Although I'm sure that sometimes it looked a lot like this...

P.S. I tried Zumba for the first time Monday night. LOVED IT!

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." --Gandhi

"If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are." ~Charles de Montesquieu

"There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction." ~Salvador Dali

"Be one who nurtures and who builds. Be one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart, who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them." ~Marvin J Ashton

"For love, for the sake of love, will always be enough. And if our lives are but a single flash in the dark hollow of eternity, then, if, but for the briefest of moments, we shine--then how brilliantly our light has burned. And as the starlight knows no boundary of space or time, so, too, our illumination will shine forth throughout all eternity, for darkness has no power to quell such light. And this is a lesson we must all learn and take to heart--That all light is eternal and all is love is light." ~Richard Paul Evans

“The commandment given by the Savior was to love others and yourself. Am I secure enough in my love of myself to laugh at myself, to admit mistakes, to graciously accept a compliment? Am I secure in my love of others to smile and say hello to a perfect stranger?” ~James E. Faust

"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought and that gratitude is happiness doubled with wonder." ~G.K. Chesterton

"Indeed, the more we find to love, the more we add to the measure of our hearts." ~Lloyd Alexander

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." ~ C.S. Lewis

"Everything I understand, I understand only because I love." ~Tolstoy
