Too hard...

{"You tried too hard," he said.

"I know," she said. 

"But," he began, "it's okay, because you can begin again."}

I know my Savior Lives.

I love Him.

Yesterday I had the privilege to go to the Conference Center for the General Relief Society Broadcast.

While I was listening, a small hole in my heart seemed to fill. I found what I was missing, and I realized that I was foolish enough to believe that I had been missing something physical, something touchable.

I see now that I was wrong, because there is enough.

There is enough time, enough money, enough goodness to keep going.

There is enough love and hope and faith.

There is enough, because God never faileth.

Because God has steered this world since its existence, so why would He stop now?

The race...

She was a tortoise. He was a hare.

And they ran the race together.

Life gave me...

A sweet-heart I know showed me this song and I wish to share it with you because it's absolutely wonderful!

Just listen, and love.

It's just so bright and adorable!

Also, watching Voldemort fall in love is pretty entertaining. Especially when he has a nose as he's doing it.

"Today was a good day, she thought, watching the stars turn slowly in the sky. Just another reminder that we make our days. We make them good or bad, or just plain boring. She turned her eyes to the future and gave it a small satisfied smile. I know you're not always gonna' be full of good days, she thought, but at least I know the good will outweigh the bad. Then she knocked on wood so as not to jinx it."

I think this is pretty great...

Okay, have a good one!

With utmost sincerity,

She sat there...

"She sat there, trying her best not to let the tears slip down here face.

Why are you crying? She thought angrily. Nothing's wrong. 

But there were people to be missed, things to fail at,  hurts that went deep, hearts that broke.

Ah, well, she said to herself, at least there's always tomorrow."

Indeed.

That's what happens when I smash my face into the keyboard.

This font reminds me of a typewriter. I really want a good, old fashioned type writer.


Look up hymn 72. I love it.


Sing like someone's listening, but you don't care what they think. Dance like everyone's watching, but you don't care what they think. Love like you been hurt before, but you're not going to let those hurts stop you.

With utmost sincerity,

The other half...

There is another quote from Peter Pan that that is very much like the one that is the title of this blog.

It is one of my favorites.

"To die will be an awfully big adventure..."

I am watching "The Blind Side." It is an absolutely wonderful movie. If you have not seen it. Do. 

Also, all that glitters is not gold...but it could be Edward Cullen.

It's nice...

It's nice to know you exist.

To feel the breath going in and out of you.

To feel your heart beating.

Existence is excellent.

Like a cold breath of fresh clear air.

Existence is, of course, infinite.

We existed before, we will exist after, and we will exist always.

Read Gilead, a book by Marilynn Robinson. It's such a wonderful book. It talks about existence. It talks about life, and pain, and I guess in some ways they're the same thing. 

As The Man In Black said, "Life is pain, Highness! Anyone who says differently is selling something."

And while I find that quote incredibly hilarious, I do not wholly  agree.

I mean, I agree that in life there is pain...lots of it...but that not the only reason why we're here. Yes, we have to know pain, but we have to know pain so we can know relief.

"She sat there then, looking out the window. Wondering why the world looked so gray. Life is more than just gray though. And in reality, there is no gray, there is only black and white...nevertheless, gray is such a lovely color." 

There is only black and white. Black and white in regards to the commandments of the Lord. There is no fence sitting. You are with Him or against Him. Living though, is meant to be so colorful. Why else would the Lord make so many colors. One of them gray, which happens to be one of my favorites.

Green and Gray...

One day I may write the rest of that sentence for you all to see.

But for now it is locked in my head and heart. And written many times in my journal.

I repeat it to myself every time there is a storm, and some days when there isn't one.

With utmost sincerity,

Kaitlin R.

 

Just so we're clear...

Google Blogger has decided that my blog is a spam blog.

Well, rather their robots have decided that.

Just so we're clear though, it is not.

I mean, does my writing seem like spam?

If it does, I am sorry.

So worry not, I don't have any links to certain pages, nor am I trying to waste your time.

But if I don't get cleared by their spam police in two days, my blog will be deleted in twenty.

If that happens that will be the second time Google Blogger has deleted my blog contrary to my wishes and/or will.

The first time was without any explanation. They just said "this blog has been deleted..."

I was pretty upset.

Anyways, I'm sure they won't. (Knock on wood.)

I am not a robot.

With utmost sincerity, 

Kaitlin R.
